Education is an initiation into the life of the spirit, a training of the human soul in the pursuit of truth and the practice of virtue. The long-cherished dream of the Birla group became a reality in the year 2004 when BPS was founded. The Birla’s, the doyens of the Indian business & industries have contributed a lot to the cause of education, and institutions like the BITS, Pilani, stand testimony to this fact. They have created a new chapter in their educational philosophy with the initiation of the BPS in Qatar. The School is the fulfillment of Birla's wish to serve the Indians abroad, thus adding another jewel to their crown. The holistic development of the children and molding them into responsible human beings with a sense of commitment, care, and concern for the nation, is the Birla Philosophy of education. The object is to strive for perfection in education, making learning a pleasure, with a blend of modern techniques and real-life learning that stresses on right values and attitudes. The Birlas have always been a perennial source of inspiration for students to set their sights high and be in the pursuit of excellence.

This sense of wonder and curiosity to discover and learn about our universe, not just that of atoms, stars, and galaxies but also that of the living, of the mind, and the complex social, economic, and political structures we have created unwittingly, this sense led Newton to realize, and he, in turn, taught us to see that all systems and structures are governed not by whimsical supernatural forces that are beyond our minds and out of our control but by rules and laws that can be discovered and used to create technologies. This sense is what we, the founders, have always dreamt of encouraging in all children. We, therefore, thought of establishing schools that will nurture it. But we needed a curriculum that is exciting and promotes a life-long love for learning. This curriculum should also be dynamic in its response to the never-ending changes in the world and our perception of it. We believe we have found what we were looking for it is the National Curriculum of England and Wales (NCEW) which is popularly known as the British Curriculum! It is one of the best available in the world that is capable of imparting to our students the quality of learning and skills they need to transform our world, not just for the short-sighted good of themselves but for the sustainable good of the whole Earth. We have adopted the British Curriculum, not by default of having a school that should follow a particular curriculum the contrary is the truth. We have established our first school to actualize, to the best of our abilities, the British Curriculum! We believe that such a curriculum, when applied with dedication and creativity, gives a child one of his/her best chances to develop into a well-rounded free human being, who will be best equipped to live and flourish in our modern world. We believe that education is one of man's greatest transformative powers that needs to be honed and improved all the time. At our schools, we strive to improve continuously. This has earned the trust of many parents living in Qatar and made us grow in twelve years from a humble beginning of a small school in two villas with about 200 students in 2006 to nine campuses with a family of around 10,000 students in 2018. Our last words are to parents. No one is more eager and passionate about your child's education than you. We, therefore, invite you to help your child's school to continuously improve by being engaged and active with your feedback through the many channels that are made available, be it the Parents & Teachers Association (PTA), the Parents Affairs Officer (PAO) or the teachers themselves who are always available to parents to eagerly discuss their concerns. Newton International School West Bay is now the school of choice for hundreds of families. Why is that?

The core values at the International School of London are Diversity, Understanding, Identity, and Passion. The ISL education philosophy is based on the following core values and applies to our students, teaching, and administrative staff: A commitment to the acquisition of knowledge and the achievement of personal potential. The pursuit of excellence in all areas of activity and effort. Respect of self and others including the recognition of the uniqueness of each individual. Social and civic responsibility seeks to explore and promote the common good and values, social justice, cultural diversity, and the emotional and physical wellbeing of others. Concern and respect for the natural and cultural environment. Treating all members of the community with respect, honesty, and integrity. At ISL Qatar, we recognize that every time our teachers think differently about a learning experience, we are creating opportunities for our students to do something amazing. We aim to immerse students in authentic learning that not only connects to their lives outside of school, but that allows them to explore, create, make mistakes, reflect and refine to build essential skills such as communication and collaboration to think critically about problems that they define and to engage in research that asks more questions than it answers.
