Doha Academy (DA) comprises three schools – DA Al Waab, DA Salwa, and Doha International Kindergarten – educating over 2500 students representing on average 55 nationalities. Male and female students are taught in separate classrooms from Year 6 upwards.
The school offers a British-based curriculum combined with Islamic teachings from preschool through to year 13. The school attracts students from Qatar and further afield including other Middle Eastern countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, Europe, The United States, Canada, and Australia reflecting diversity within the Muslim Ummah.
As of November 2022, Doha Academy Al Waab and Salwa Branches were fully internationally accredited by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEASC), having already been awarded Qatar National Schools Accreditation (QNSA) earlier in 2022. In addition to meeting NEASC’s five exacting “Foundation Standards” covering Learning & Teaching, Leadership & Governance, Human Resources, Finance & Facilities, and Health & Safety, the schools were also placed on NEASC’s highest accreditation pathway “ACE Learning”. The ACE Learning framework is recommended to schools demonstrating the highest capability, capacity, and commitment to continuing improvement.
