At Etqan, we teach an integrated academic programme. This seamlessly combines the best in global curricula and modern teaching approaches with Islamic values, the Arabic language, and the highest possible standards.

Learning is underpinned by a continuum of International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes, which we teach from the age of 3 to 15. Students then progress to the American High School Diploma (ages 16 to 18) or the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP).

As well as developing our students’ specialist knowledge, our curricula are rich in character-forming experiences that nurture critical thinking, encourage creativity, and build resilience. This ensures our learners grow into well-rounded individuals equipped for university, work, and life.

Throughout their education, your child will learn in a bilingual environment that’s rich in cultural experiences. This will ensure they become a proficient dual-language communicator. Our authentic, fully integrated approach also cultivates a deep appreciation of heritage and identity, nurturing respectful citizens set for success in Qatar – and around the world.

Our teachers embody Etqan’s values and identity. Their specialist curriculum experience and teaching approaches drive global excellence across the school, too.

Over 90% of our educators are native Arabic speakers. This ensures our students develop excellent language skills and remain deeply connected to their identity through language.

Being part of the Nord Anglia Education global family brings many benefits for our teachers. These include continued professional development (CPD) opportunities through our collaboration with MIT and high-level training on the award-winning Nord Anglia University platform. All our International Baccalaureate (IB) specialists are accredited by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), too.

We believe exceptional teaching extends beyond academics. Our educators nurture the development of the whole child through personalised learning, a focus on wellbeing, and experiences that develop character, confidence, and leadership skills.

Nurturing our students’ character is a priority at Etqan. We know that well-rounded young people with a strong identity, confidence in their faith, and a breadth of essential life skills will thrive when they graduate. We also want our students to discover their talents and realise their potential.

Both in and outside of the curriculum, exclusive Nord Anglia collaborations and experiences transform how and what our students learn. Our programme with MIT, for example, will open your child’s eyes to the marvels of science, technology, engineering, arts, and maths (STEAM), encouraging teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

Learners grow in confidence and create lasting memories on meaningful expeditions, including our cultural excursion to Barcelona and ski trip to northern Italy. In school, activities like our sports day bring our community together, while cultural events – including Arabic Language Week and Qatar National Day Week – celebrate identity and foster pride.

Our students also work together to address real-world issues, both in Qatar and globally. This broadens their understanding, perspectives, and leadership capabilities – key attributes required to contribute to Qatar and our interconnected world.

Life at Etqan is underpinned by strong values: Islamic Character, Qatari Identity, Leadership with Responsibility, Excellence in Learning, and Community and Respect. These shape our educational philosophy and define how we teach and learn. Our values also outline the qualities we want each student to develop.

We take great pride in living these principles every day, as well as providing a distinctly Qatari environment where local and international students thrive. We come together as a community for many cultural celebrations, including Qatar National Day Week, and warmly welcome families into school throughout the year.

Our community is also connected to the world as part of the Nord Anglia Education family. Our students benefit from collaborative learning experiences through our partnerships with MIT and UNICEF, and form meaningful connections across the globe through competitions, festivals, and the Global Campus digital learning platform.

In everything we do, the health and wellbeing of our community come first. We know that happy, supported students achieve more, and we provide expert pastoral care through dedicated, highly qualified colleagues.

Our students are the future custodians of Qatar. And one of our fundamental goals is to ensure that every child develops the principles, skills, and knowledge to confidently contribute to our society.

Leadership is an integral part of life at Etqan. Through initiatives like our Student Council, learners develop their voice, take responsibility, and play an active role in representing others.

Our International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes are enriched by opportunities that instil a sense of social purpose and cultural connection. Every subject taught in the Primary Years (PYP) and Middle Years (MYP), for example, features a unit of work that culminates in a tangible, community-focused ‘action’.

Globally, our students explore international issues – like the UN Sustainable Development Goals and climate change – through our Nord Anglia collaboration with UNICEF. Our learners also support the community projects and causes that matter to them.

Our campus is a safe, inspiring, and future-focused place to learn. It features separate but identical buildings for boys and girls, which are designed to provide a tailored experience for each stage and age group. This ensures every child has the space to thrive.

Our exceptional facilities reflect our commitment to delivering a world-class international education. Innovative spaces include SuperPark, an immersive indoor activity centre with interactive play zones, STEM learning areas, obstacle courses, and more.

Etqan also boasts labs and art rooms, alongside excellent athletic facilities. These include our Maidan sports facility, two swimming pools, an indoor soccer pitch, and eight padel courts, which support student health and wellbeing, and encourage competition and teamwork.
