The International Schools Review Forum

Qatar Academy is an international school that is part of Qatar Foundation, an initiative which promotes education in Qatar and has been behind the number of prestigious universities which have opened adjunct campuses in Qatar. There is a part of the city that is dedicated to these educational institutions, and the Qatar Academy is located there, as is the housing where you will be. People who have worked there (I worked in Doha - not there) have expressed great satisfaction with their housing, all the amenities included (furnishings, appliances, internet, gym and pool access). You will be paid well, be able to save at least one salary, and have your children attend the same school at which you work. The student body is quite international, although the school is perhaps not the first choice of Americans, it is first choice for many nationalities. Doha is a bit bland, truth be told, but there are activities connected with the universities that are open to the public and great opportunities - authors who come for visits, performances by musicians, sports competitions, etc.
Here is a blog that will give you first hand information by people who actually did work at QA: http://internationalschoolcommunity.wor ... y-in-doha/
Good Luck

QA is considered a very strong school and a good place to work. Package at any Qatar Foundation school is very strong. Doha has as much to do as you want to do, and is very family friendly. I would strongly consider it if you're lucky enough to get an offer.

Take it. It is one of the better schools (top 5 to 10) in the Middle East.
