Recommended Posts

Situated on the west coast of Qatar, we are a vibrant, dynamic school that operates to serve the needs of the employees of Qatar Petroleum. We are a multicultural school community whose vision is to promote and develop values such as excellence, unity, respect, cultural diversity, and understanding.
We are a school that is proud of its achievements in all areas, be they academic, sporting, artistic or cultural. We offer internationally recognized examinations and, in an ever more globalized community, we prepare our students to face with confidence the many challenges that the outside world offers in today's society.
Dukhan English School is one of the oldest English medium schools in Qatar. It traces its origins back to the early 1950s when British Petroleum, the operators of the Dukhan Field at that time, established a school in the building which was later the Dukhan Water Sports clubhouse. We are proud of our school, our desire to work hard, and to care for each other. Our mission is to inspire and empower our students for a great future, through innovative and globally relevant education.
Dukhan English School is committed in policy and practice to the delivery of the National Curriculum of England and Wales. It is recognized that for a school such as ours The National Curriculum does not represent the whole of the curriculum and that our setting within an international community of Qatar and beyond allows for an enriched curriculum.
We aim to develop students' knowledge, skills and talents by supporting them to become curious, enquiring, reflective, problem-solving, and independent learners. Dukhan English School adds an international dimension to the pupils’ learning and experiences which will increase opportunities for them in later life.
We follow the best of British Preparatory and Senior Independent school practices. DES students, therefore, experience a balance and range of subjects that prepare them for higher education, lifelong learning, and successful employment.
Students from DES attend conferences in and around Qatar throughout the academic year. Within each conference, the aim is to seek, through discussion, negotiation, and debate, solutions to the various problems of the world: e.g. questions of human rights, protection of the environment, economic development, disarmament, and the problems of youth and of refugees. The delegates can express their opinions in solving these problems in a professional, sensitive and critical manner.
