    It is my privilege to be the Head of Secondary at Doha British School, Ain Khaled. At DBS Ain Khaled our students always come first. Our School community offers a friendly, innovative student-centred learning environment where your child is placed at the heart of the learning process. Our educational philosophy places strong emphasis on intellectual and personal development. Put Simply, it is our core aspiration that our students cultivate and explore their innate talents, interests and motivations to make a positive difference during their time with us, helping to realise and make a difference to their own lives and a difference to the lives of others.

    Being part of the most established schools in Qatar, we are very proud of our strong heritage, traditions and values. We are also constantly looking forward, seeking to self evaluate and improve at every age and stage for all our students. High-quality Learning and Teaching intertwined with the very best pastoral care and extra-curricular provision lie at the very heart of our school.

    Doha British School is more than a school, it is a Primary and Secondary school community, an experience and a way of life that nurtures an ethic of excellence in every respect. Our community is culturally rich and diverse, welcoming students from a wide range of backgrounds and nations- but we always identify as a family of one.

    We hope our website provides you with a flavour of why DBS Ain Khaled is a unique school with a particular and very special ethos, and we look forward to welcoming you in person should you require any further information.
