Doha College announced that its Primary School has been re-accredited as a member of the Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS) – a UK-based organisation that represents over 700 of the world’s leading preparatory schools.
This continued membership stands as a testament to Doha College’s unwavering pursuit of educational excellence and holistic student development, a statement said. The IAPS represents schools that provide top-tier education for children up to the age of 13. Its members are known not only for academic excellence, but also for nurturing character, encouraging personal growth, and offering diverse opportunities that extend beyond the classroom.
An IAPS membership is a hallmark of distinction, open only to schools that meet rigorous standards in academic performance, pastoral care, safeguarding, governance, and leadership. “We are thrilled to be part of the IAPS,” said Derek Watson, senior vice principal - head of Primary at Doha College. “It demonstrates our commitment to ‘Excellence For All, Excellence From All’ and extends the associations we have with the top independent schools around the world. At Doha College, one of the world’s leading British international schools, we continue to lead innovation in education, and it is excellent to develop wider networks.”
By retaining its IAPS status, Doha College Primary gains access to an elite network of schools that collaborate and share best practices in teaching, safeguarding, and leadership. It also means that students will benefit from enhanced opportunities – from inter-school sporting events and academic initiatives to global cultural exchanges and leadership development programmes.
“Our world-class Al Wajba campus and passionate, highly qualified teaching staff ensure that every learner receives a future-ready education rooted in British educational traditions. While we celebrate this milestone, we also see it as a launchpad for further growth,” a statement added.
