Admissions Process

Admission process for the next academic year usually open in November of the previous year, while admissions for the current academic year can be accepted in term 1 and term 2. Doha British School is a very popular international school and places are sometimes difficult to access. Priority is given to siblings of current students, however all applicants must be assessed in order to determine ability to access the curriculum, as well as English language skills.
