Education in International British School began in 2008. The school was founded through the vision of Dr. Shamila Ahmed, our principal who retains her office to date.
The International British School inspires students to live with purpose, passion, and integrity, the essence of the world community, of an extraordinary group of students and faculty who work, and learn together on the campus. The school follows the British curriculum. To provide quality education in a nurturing environment so that students develop to their full potential and become responsible, respectful global citizens who contribute positively to society.
Our mission is to provide an adaptive and challenging internationally based education that nurtures a love of learning in a multicultural setting. We aim to foster the academic, social, physical, and personal development of each student.
Our overall goal is to position International British School to become the leading private school brand in the whole of Qatar, and also to be amongst the top 5 International Schools in the Middle East within the next 5 years of operations.
We have many exciting things in store for you this year. We have new academic standards in reading and math, many new faces around the building. You will hear the teachers mentioning the Common Core Standards These are new learning standards that have been adopted by our school. They emphasize more high-level thinking and also require the children to do more writing in all subject areas. We are purchasing a new student science book for KS-2 grades that is aligned with the new standards. Please make sure that you review the monthly calendar as there are many important dates throughout the month that you should be aware of. A few of these important dates are the annual sports day, school fair, and term exams.
Vision 2018 launched this year, is to ensure that each student who enters our doors shall leave with abundant respect for self and others and the capability to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Our Mission is to work together and to create a student-centered environment that fosters healthy living, lifelong learning, and responsible citizenship. The School teachers and staff are regularly engaged in professional development activities that focus on these "effective school" attributes. We also value the partnership with our parent community that is so vital in school improvement.
