Launched in August 2019, The Hamilton International School (THIS) is a growing and resource-rich international school in Qatar. The school is currently open for children from pre-K to Grade 10 with plans to grow each year to eventually become an all-through school by the 2024/25 academic year. Currently enrolled are just under 800 students, representing over 76 nationalities! This school’s family of staff members numbers 150.
THIS is part of International Schools Partnership (ISP), a UK-based group of global schools. ISP also operates Park House English School, one of Doha’s oldest schools. THIS is currently undergoing the accreditation process with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. The school offers an exciting and innovative international curriculum that meets the U.S. Common Core Standards so that students will graduate with an accredited High School Diploma (HSD). To give students the opportunity to follow an alternative pathway in Grades 11 and 12, THIS intends to apply for International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum authorization so that students may prepare for and earn an IB Diploma.
