Qatar Foundation (QF)’s Pre-University Education will host a unified graduation ceremony to honour the accomplishments of 300 students from across its schools on May 28.

The ceremony will recognise students from seven QF schools: Qatar Academy Doha, Qatar Academy Al Khor, Qatar Academy Sidra, Qatar Academy for Science and Technology, Qatar Leadership Academy, Qatar Academy Al Wakra, and Awsaj Academy.

As graduation approaches, each student carries a unique story, yet together, they represent more than the end of an academic journey.

For 17-year-old Hana Ali al-Khater, a graduate of Qatar Academy Doha, her educational journey has been a path of self-discovery and a way to shape a more mature vision for her future.

Ever since she delved into the world of science, new horizons began to open, fuelled by a constant passion for learning and exploration.

She found in her school more than just a platform for acquiring knowledge and skills, it was a space for personal growth, building confidence, and refining her abilities through challenges and meaningful experiences.

Nasser Khalid al-Khater, 18, and a graduate of Qatar Academy Al Wakra, looks back on his school years as a journey of discovery and growth.

For him, education went beyond classroom lessons, it was the real-life experiences that helped him uncover his passion and shape his identity.

Highlights of his journey include volunteering during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and taking part in charitable initiatives in Zanzibar.

For 18-year-old Rashid Mohammed al-Fehaidi, a graduate of Qatar Academy Sidra, graduation is a proud and joyful milestone, one that celebrates years of challenges met with determination and ambition.

He sees his school as a turning point, where a flexible, student-centred approach allowed him to explore his interests and grow with confidence.

For 17-year-old Maryam Hussain al-Hail, a graduate of Qatar Academy Al Khor, graduation is an emotional milestone, one filled with both joy and nostalgia.

After spending 12 years at the same school, al-Hail doesn’t just see it as a place of learning, but as a second home, a place where her journey began and where she grew up.

For 17-year-old Hamad Salih al-Bader, a graduate of Qatar Leadership Academy, graduation is far more than the end of a school chapter, it’s a long-awaited moment that reflects years of dedication, discipline, and growth.

It marks the culmination of an extraordinary journey at an institution he describes not just as a school, but as a school of life.

From the moment he joined, al-Bader stepped into a world that demanded something different, self-discipline, independence, and resilience.

Ali Khalid al-Tamimi, 18, and a graduate of Awsaj Academy, sees his graduation day as the beginning of a new chapter in his educational journey, one that he approaches with confidence and excitement as he prepares to enter university life after years of challenges and growth.

His academic journey began with some difficulties, but the supportive environment at Awsaj Academy played a crucial role in helping him overcome them.

For Amina Yasser Ahmed, 18, and a graduate of Qatar Academy for Science and Technology, her time at the QF was more than just an academic chapter, it was a transformative experience that shaped her identity, broadened her perspective, and helped her discover her true potential.

The diversity at the QF played a powerful role in her development, helping her grow into a more empathetic, open-minded, and collaborative learner.
