At Nord Anglia International School Al Khor (NAISAK) in Qatar, our 11 to 16-year-olds follow the National Curriculum of England, which culminates in their IGCSE exams at 16.
Split into Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9) and Key Stage 4 (Years 10-11), our British secondary programme will give your child the skills, understanding, and confidence to excel both in their IGCSEs and at A-level.
Our secondary curriculum is specifically designed around the needs of the developing teenage brain. Lessons are packed with opportunities, projects, and themes that connect what our students learn in the classroom with real-world experiences. Across both Key Stages, subjects are taught by experts in their field.
Our Key Stage 3 curriculum supports our students through the transition from primary to secondary school.
Your child will become an expert in the core subjects of maths, English, and science, and gain a deeper understanding in geography, history, music, PE, and their chosen languages.
To keep track of their progress, our students sit measure of academic progress (MAP) tests in English, maths, and science at the end of each term. This gives us a fantastic insight into their development and enables our teachers to identify strengths and overcome challenges.
At Key Stage 4, our secondary school students work towards their IGCSE exams.
Your child will learn in a way that works for them, based on their academic strengths and goals, and their ambitions for the future. Our students typically study nine subjects, which prepares them for the next stage of their education.
At this exciting time in their personal, emotional, and academic development, we’ll make sure your child has the wellbeing support they need to thrive.
Our form tutors coordinate our pastoral approach, introducing themes that range from global citizenship to online safety and health education. We set high expectations for our students, too, and encourage them to live and breathe our ‘High Five’ values.
At NAISAK, we understand that a truly outstanding education extends beyond the classroom. That’s why we offer a variety of extraordinary learning experiences that will complement your child’s academic studies.
From outdoor and sporting activities to exclusive collaborations with The Juilliard School, MIT, and UNICEF, your child will work with others, build strong relationships, and develop a host of transferable skills. We also offer The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, as well as an array of extra-curricular clubs.
Our campus is truly unique. Here, traditional Qatari architecture combines with modern sports, arts, and STEAM spaces to create an energising environment where every student excels.
With its calming spaces, warm family atmosphere, and genuine sense of community, our campus is the perfect place for our students to grow as people, too. What’s more, we’re always evolving, having recently added a purpose-built building for our secondary learners.
At NAISAK, we inspire every student to achieve more. Whatever your child wants to be or do in life, our combination of British excellence, exciting experiences, and personalised care will unlock their true potential.
