At English Modern School Doha, we aim to provide a truly international education. English Modern School Doha has students from over fifty (50) countries. As an international school we celebrate our national roots, but we also transcend national boundaries. We strive to provide the literacies and academic currency to empower our students to succeed in a range of global academic contexts. Be it a conceptual framework, or disciplinary skills, the capacity to utilise a range of cognitive skills, or a values framework which would have the students embrace the highest standards of academic honesty as their own. We celebrate our international composition, ambitions and outlook.

We adopt the Cambridge International curriculum from Year 1 through Year 12, culminating with IGCSE and A and AS levels. We have a specially tailored, developmentally appropriate formative program in KG 1 and 2. The English Modern School adopts belonging a central pillar of its mission. The English Modern School is, “A Place Where We Belong.” We are a community of expansive and challenging ambition. A place where you might come as you are and feel welcomed and accepted. A place where you might embrace the culture, ethos and expectations of this community and become all that you might be. The English Modern School is a place where we all belong and we all grow – staff and students. Students are encouraged to enjoy their time in our classrooms, on our sports fields and playgrounds, our gymnasiums, laboratories, swimming pool and our shared cyberspace. They are encouraged to share their interests, indeed their passions, with their teachers and fellow students. They are encouraged to forge a sense of affiliation and attachment, to extend to others a sense of inclusion, so all might feel accepted and feel that they truly belong.

Our Vision is to Empowered learners that pursue continuous growth and positively impact their world.

Our mission is To nurture our learners by engaging them in innovative and challenging 21st century experiences and skills that foster well-being and a growth mindset in a diverse community.

At English Modern School Doha we embrace internationalism through acceptance of differences, values and beliefs in our community. At EMS we believe that:

  • Education inspires a love of learning and develops an enquiring mind. The full potential of each individual in the learning community is achieved through commitment, dedication and striving for excellence.
  • The education of students must be broad, balanced and integrated, and comprises academic, creative, physical, social and moral development.
  • Effective learning comes from the understanding of concepts, content and practical skills in each area of study and how these relate to each other and apply to the outside world.
  • Balancing academic learning with creative, physical and social activities is fundamental to the further development of pupils’ self-expression, self-discipline, independence, responsibility and self-confidence.
  • The engagement of the school in social and environmental projects both within and beyond the school contributes to the development of informed, responsible and active citizens.

I was a student at this school, now I finished university and I'm in the work field. I never thought the way I was taught in school will reflect this positively on me in the far future. The curriculum and methods of teaching at The English modern School are one of the best after experience. I look forward to registering my children soon.

I have two children currently at English Modern School. One is in year 5 and has gone since kindergarten. My other child is currently in kindergarten. This is hands down the most wonderful school. There is strong parent involvement. The teachers, staff, and administrators go above and beyond to help each child excel. Everyone loves this school, and I am so glad that my children attend EMS.
