Why King’s College Doha
A student at King’s College Doha is well-rounded, ambitious, and confident: equipped with the knowledge, character, and courage to take on complex challenges and become a leader of the future.
140+ Years of educational excellence
King’s College Doha is the sister school to King's UK, which was founded by Royal Charter in 1873. Students at King’s College Doha benefit from this 140+ years of history, tradition and educational expertise.
All-round British curriculum
King’s College Doha delivers a truly all-round education, based on an enhanced version of the English National Curriculum, inspired by King’s UK. Academic progress is made alongside the development of new skills and interests through sport, music, the arts and an extensive range of activities.
Subject specialist approach
While general class teachers cover all subjects up to Year 6 in most schools, uniquely at King’s College Doha, all subjects are led by specialist teachers from Year 5 onwards, allowing optimum depth of learning. We also feature specialist teaching in core subjects from Pre-Prep (age 3).
Qatar culture and Arabic language
The King’s approach is tailored to fit with our local Doha setting. Arabic language, Islamic Studies and Social Studies are central components of our curriculum. Arabic language, for instance, is offered from Pre-Prep and delivered by subject specialist teachers.

Last term, we were delighted to welcome acclaimed artist and photographer Vivi Bernal to King’s.
A professional photographer since the 1990s, Vivi dedicated time to working with our Art pupils, sharing her creative journey and the experiences that have shaped her distinctive style. Through her lens, she offered insight into how photography has taken her across the world and enabled her to reach international audiences with her work.
In a generous gesture, Vivi dedicated a selection of her art pieces to our school. These works will be displayed with pride, serving as a lasting source of inspiration for our pupils and a reminder of the power of creative expression.
It was an inspiring opportunity for our pupils to learn first hand about the discipline, courage and creativity required to build a professional artistic path. Experiences such as this bring learning beyond the classroom and show our young artists what is possible when passion meets purpose.

Today we shine a light on the PE team who power sport at King’s.
On National Sports Day, we recognise the dedicated professionals who make every sporting opportunity possible for our pupils. Their expertise and commitment ensure that sport remains a vibrant and meaningful part of life at our school. From leading training sessions and managing fixtures to preparing pupils for competitions across Doha and beyond, they guide with consistency and care throughout the year.

Our Upper School pupils had an unforgettable time exploring Kenya and experiencing its extraordinary wildlife first hand.
From witnessing nature in its natural habitat to immersing themselves in new cultures and environments, this trip brought learning vividly to life. It was an exceptional opportunity to extend classroom learning beyond the books and deepen understanding through real experience.
Through adventure, reflection and shared challenge, our pupils truly lived the 5Cs — growing in confidence, curiosity and compassion while embracing every moment of discovery.
At King’s, enrichment is an essential part of a holistic education, shaping young people who are prepared to engage thoughtfully with the world around them.
