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.

Our pupils proudly competed at the Destination Imagination National Championships here in Qatar — a prestigious event bringing together 233 school teams and over 2,000 pupils from across the country.

Representing King’s with teams from Pre-Prep and Middle School, our pupils demonstrated remarkable creativity and innovation, integrating theatrical performance with engineering and visual technologies to solve complex challenges.

A huge congratulations to our Middle School team who achieved an outstanding 4th place overall — an exceptional accomplishment within such a highly competitive field.

Destination Imagination equips pupils with critical thinking, collaboration and creative problem-solving skills, empowering them to apply knowledge in imaginative and impactful ways.

We are incredibly proud of every pupil who took to this national stage and represented King’s with confidence, creativity and commitment.

Ahead of Ramadan, we reflect on the recent Umrah trip led by our Arabic Department for pupils in Years 7–10.

This meaningful journey connected Islamic Studies with the holy sites of Makkah and Madinah, bringing classroom learning to life through both educational depth and spiritual reflection.

Experiences such as this extend learning beyond the books, nurturing curiosity, compassion and a deeper understanding of faith and heritage.

Our sincere thanks to the dedicated staff who guided and supported our pupils throughout this special experience.

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.
