About us
Doha College is one of the world's leading British international schools. Proudly not-for-profit and the only school in Qatar listed in both the Spear's School Index and the Carfax Index of the top 150 private schools worldwide, our examination results at (I)GCSE and A-Level are amongst the best of any school of our type globally.
Guided by our motto "Excellence for all, Excellence from all" and our vision of Inspiring Minds, our vibrant community is underpinned by our core values of Discovery, Courage and Humanity. We celebrate diversity, foster innovation, and are committed to nurturing confident, compassionate, and intellectually curious learners who approach the world with curiosity, bravery, and kindness.
Our staff are supported through exceptional professional development, including our in-house CPD programme, leadership training, and a coaching culture that helps every teacher continue to grow, embracing discovery and courage in their own development. We value wellbeing and family life, offering comprehensive support for international relocation, professional growth and personal fulfilment, extending the same humanity and care to our staff that we hope they will bring to our pupils. We also have a comprehensive induction and orientation programme, which enables new staff to navigate the challenges of an international move, including a free on-site crèche for primary-aged children and staff representation on our Board of Governors.
Best of all, our vibrant international pupil community is a delight to work with, and our innovative approach encourages everyone at the College to bring ideas and a willingness to try new things, a true spirit of discovery and courage.
If you are interested in joining our inspiring team, which values your personal and professional growth and where you bring a commitment to demonstrating the highest standards, positivity, kindness and humanity, we very much look forward to receiving your application.
