Doha British School

Doha British School (DBS), established and opened in October 1997, is a co-educational comprehensive International school in the Ain Khaled area of Doha, in the State of Qatar. It offers international education to students from pre-school to Year 13. The students are of over 85 nationalities.

History
Doha British School was originally known as Doha Montessori and British School (DMBS) before it was re-branded in Spring 2011. The school delivers the National Curriculum for England throughout primary and secondary school, giving students the opportunity to complete International General Certificate of Secondary Education (International GCSE) qualifications during Years 10 and 11.

Doha British School offers both the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and national A Level to its sixth form students in Years 12 and 13. The institution became an IB World School in March 2010 and has since been delivering the Diploma Programme with a wide range of subjects from different disciplines for its students as a school-leaving qualification option. In September 2015, the AS Level (first year of the GCE A Level) award was introduced as another option for students to provide students with choice.

The school has been an active member of the Duke of Edinburgh International Award.

The school has also been a driving force in founding the inter-school organization The British Schools of Qatar, and played an active role in the organization of the first ever BISQ Games, hosted at Aspire Zone in early 2018.

Starting September 2019, DBS will begin offering the final year of the A Level Programme (A2 Level) as well as the BTEC Extended Diploma, alongside the already established IB Diploma Programme and AS Level, becoming the only British School in Qatar to offer such a wide variety of pathways in post-16 education.

Al Wakrah Campus
There is a second campus situated in the area of Al Wakra, which offers education for children from the levels of pre-school to Year 7, as of the 2017–18 academic year. DBS is set to open a Secondary School in Al Wakrah from Year 7 to Year 11, starting classes in September 2020.
