About The Company

For over 40 years Doha English Speaking School, one of the longest established not-for-profit schools in Qatar, has provided children with an outstanding education through the British Curriculum. We operate under the direction of a Board of Governors and are sponsored by the British Embassy.

At DESS we believe in making children world-class learners, developing them in confidence with a thirst for knowledge that enables them to realise their talents and create their own futures. 

We are a British curriculum preparatory school for children aged 3-13 years.*

What makes DESS “Outstanding”?

Our students’ academic results are significantly above those demonstrated in the UK national average statistics. We are extremely proud that during our recent inspection by Penta International, our school was awarded the highest grading of ‘Outstanding’. The grading allows DESS to be easily compared with other UK and overseas independent schools. Students leave DESS well-prepared to move on successfully to their next phase of education, whether in the UK or internationally.

Our teaching staff are hard-working, committed, experienced UK trained specialists who deliver creative and inspiring lessons.
