    The International School of London (ISL) Qatar has an outstanding reputation for high academic standards, prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, and an impressive record of admissions to the best universities worldwide.

    In September 2008, ISL Qatar opened its new home, a modern, purpose-built campus in the northern suburbs of Doha. The buildings have been developed to embody the school's philosophy of child-focused education. It offers a curriculum appropriate to the 21st century, using methods and technologies that engage children while advancing their learning and understanding. We also offer facilities for sport and recreation, individualized learning and research, and personal development and growth.

    This year we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary, and since opening the doors to our first students in August of 2008, the International School of London Qatar has developed a reputation both locally and internationally as a pioneering educational institution, that is continually exploring the process of learning and considering what constitutes effective learning.

    As well as striving to develop the academic potential of every one of our students, our teachers are committed to the school mission statement which sets out our goal of “developing a passion for life and learning that leads to the betterment of the world in which we live.”

    Our teachers believe in the importance of exploring and developing the personal, social and cognitive skills that our children will need to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world. We seek to ensure that all pupils are equipped with the essential qualities of kindness, compassion, and respect for others and that when each child leaves us they are skilled and confident in their ability to perform in a wide variety of contexts.

    With over 70 different nationalities in the school, diversity is a cornerstone of our school. The International School of London, Qatar is striving to offer a truly “international education”, but recognizes that this is not simply a question of having different nationalities in the school. Every one of our students and their different backgrounds, experiences, and cultures are recognized for who they are and for the unique qualities that each one of them brings to the school. The extensive support provided by the school to the ongoing development of mother tongue languages is an essential component of the program offered, and, as shown by the latest educational research, is fundamental to unlocking the academic potential of our students. Each child is encouraged not to forget who they are or where they came from to “fit in”. The importance of the individual is enshrined within our curriculum, which is founded upon a belief in the value of a holistic approach to education.

    At ISL Qatar we value each student as an individual, creating a welcoming atmosphere that celebrates and nurtures all cultures in a lively international community. Each child is welcomed into the school in their language and follows a personalized learning plan based on their skills, goals, and background.

    Our teachers pride themselves on knowing the students as individuals, although the size of the school means we’re all part of a vibrant and active international community. Our mother tongue program ensures the students continue to thrive in their language, while a range of additional languages is also offered within our positive and wide-ranging learning environment.

    At ISL Qatar, we believe in our students' ability to build a bright future, and that our purpose for being here should guide everything that we do.

    We are committed to developing a passion for life and learning that leads to the betterment of the world in which we live.

    We aim to foster creativity, empathy, integrity, and resilience, founded on respect for self, for others, and the environment.

    We strive to maintain a diverse community of learners that promotes, nurtures and celebrates individual growth, talent, and mastery within a culture of collaboration.

    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.
