Established in 1991, The English Modern School is a private, proprietary international school and is one of the Divisions of The Al-Muftah Group of Companies. The school is licensed by the Supreme Education Council (SEC) under the Private Education Sector, is a member of The Council of International Schools (CIS), is an authorized center for The Cambridge University International Exams and Edexcel International, and is a candidate for accreditation with both QNSA (Qatar National Standards of Accreditation) and NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges).
At the English Modern School – Doha, we aim to provide a truly international education. The English Modern School has students from over fifty (50) countries. As an international school, we celebrate our national roots, but we also transcend national boundaries. We strive to provide the literacies and academic currency to empower our students to succeed in a range of global academic contexts. Be it a conceptual framework, or disciplinary skills, the capacity to utilize a range of cognitive skills, or a values framework that would have the students embrace the highest standards of academic honesty as their own. We celebrate our international composition, ambitions, and outlook.
We adopt the Cambridge International curriculum from Year 1 through Year 12, culminating with IGCSE and A and AS levels. We have a specially tailored, developmentally appropriate formative program in KG 1 and 2. The English Modern School adopts belonging as a central pillar of its mission. The English Modern School is, “A Place Where We Belong.” We are a community of expansive and challenging ambition. A place where you might come as you are and feel welcomed and accepted. A place where you might embrace the culture, ethos, and expectations of this community and become all that you might be. The English Modern School is a place where we all belong and we all grow – staff and students. Students are encouraged to enjoy their time in our classrooms, on our sports fields and playgrounds, our gymnasiums, laboratories, swimming pool, and our shared cyberspace. They are encouraged to share their interests, indeed their passions, with their teachers and fellow students. They are encouraged to forge a sense of affiliation and attachment, to extend to others a sense of inclusion, so all might feel accepted and feel that they truly belong.
Our mission is to provide a challenging, internationally based education that nurtures lifelong learners in a multi-cultural setting. Our vision is for all our students to reach their full potential and positively impact their world. At English Modern School Doha, we embrace internationalism through the acceptance of differences, values, and beliefs in our community. This is emulated through our expected school-wide learning results (ESLRs). As contributing members of the prestigious educational community, at EMS we believe that:
- Education inspires a love of learning and develops an enquiring mind. The full potential of each individual in the learning community is achieved through commitment, dedication, and striving for excellence.
- The education of students must be broad, balanced, and integrated, and comprises academic, creative, physical, social, and moral development.
- Effective learning comes from the understanding of concepts, content, and practical skills in each area of study and how these relate to each other and apply to the outside world.
- Balancing academic learning with creative, physical, and social activities is fundamental to the further development of pupils’ self-expression, self-discipline, independence, responsibility, and self-confidence.
- The engagement of the school in social and environmental projects both within and beyond the school contributes to the development of informed, responsible and active citizens.
