At Nord Anglia International School Al Khor (NAISAK), every student’s learning journey is unique.
Inspired by our talented teachers, local partnerships, and international collaborations, your child will enjoy a breadth of exhilarating opportunities – both in and beyond the classroom – that will allow them to experience more. In doing so, they’ll develop the skills, knowledge, and global outlook they need to flourish now and in the future.
Whether it’s helping to build a school in Tanzania, making thrilling discoveries through our STEAM collaboration with MIT, or immersing themselves in the cultural vibrancy of Qatar, our students become brilliant leaders, contributors, adventurers, and thinkers. We make sure they’re safe, supported, and happy, too, empowered to excel and shape their own future.
There’s so much more to performing arts than what you see on stage. Children develop self-expression and self-awareness, as well as empathy, confidence, and a love of cultural exploration. Our collaboration with the world-renowned performing arts institution, The Juilliard School, enhances our dance, drama, and music programmes, promoting creativity, teamwork, and resilience among students of all ages.
Juilliard is recognised around the world as a leader in the arts. Through our exclusive collaboration, we harness their expertise and experience to create a continually evolving programme, which sparks our students’ imagination and nurtures their talents and interests.
Our global programme inspires students to look beyond individual subjects, sparking their curiosity through our hands-on interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving. Guided by the world’s leading STEAM institution, our students take part in challenges and visit MIT on a trip led by experts from the university. Our collaboration also gives our teachers the opportunity to learn from specialists in the world of STEAM, coming up withcutting-edge lessons that inspire our students in the future.
Our collaboration with UNICEF challenges both students and teachers to think about how they can make a meaningful, positive impact on the world around them. This includes embedding the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in our teaching and learning, using materials developed by UNICEF. Our students also take part in an annual Global Challenge, as well as local outreach opportunities in our community.
Our global programme empowers students to develop essential life skills through the discipline of sport, guided by the world’s leading sports education institution.
We equip students with the tools to succeed both on and off the field by combining elite athletic training with personal development, wellbeing, and mindset coaching. Altogether, this builds their resilience, confidence, and leadership skills.
Our teachers also benefit from professional development led by IMG Academy’s expert coaches, ensuring they can inspire and support students in reaching their full potential.
Whatever your child loves to do, there’s an exceptional extra-curricular activity for them at NAISAK.
Learning at NAISAK, your child will immerse themselves in the history, traditions, and community spirit of Qatar. From Quran recital and Arabic calligraphy to musical performances and the chance to represent our school at national events, our students contribute to our host country’s rich cultural fabric. Partnerships with prestigious organisations, including Qatari Museums and the Qatar Aspire Academy, also enable us to offer one-of-a-kind experiences.
An ever-changing roster of sports clubs gives students of all ages and abilities the opportunity to discover their passions and showcase their athletic prowess. From team sports like football and basketball to individual activities like swimming and martial arts, your child will finesse their skills, keep fit, and make lasting memories with their friends.
Your child will embark on a thrilling journey of intellectual exploration, as they discover our diverse range of after-school academic activities. Whether it’s taking on a STEAM challenge, learning to code, or debating pressing global issues, we offer a myriad of opportunities for students to sharpen their critical thinking skills and deepen their knowledge beyond the classroom.
Our students’ passion for the arts shines at creative clubs that offer something for everyone. Your child will express their artistic side in painting and sculpting groups, and sing, play, and perform in our Juilliard-inspired acting and music programmes. Guided by gifted performers and talented artists, each activity nurtures self-expression, unleashes creativity, and provides plenty of opportunities for collaboration.
Amazing opportunities await on exciting adventures away from our campus. Your child will explore space and time at the Qatar Planetarium, discover a unique ecosystem in the Al Khor mangroves, or prepare for a career in journalism on the Al Jazeera TV set. Guided by experts, our off-campus experiences develop our students’ skills, build their confidence, and spark new passions.
Our children join fellow Nord Anglia Education students on life-changing expeditions to Tanzania and Switzerland.
Our incredible citizenship trip to Arusha, Tanzania teaches students about global responsibility and sustainability, and the important role we play in looking after our planet. Working with locals on a variety of projects, students develop a sense of independence, increase their understanding of the world, and learn the importance of being part of a community.
The personal challenge expedition in Les Martinets, Switzerland, encourages our students to push themselves to their limits. Set in the beautiful Swiss Alps, students hike through the mountains and take on a series of challenges. Students also learn important skills – like cooking and working together under pressure – while creating treasured memories that will stay with them forever.
Our students discover all Qatar has to offer on overnight trips that build independence and nurture their teamwork and leadership skills.
Our immersive expeditions in Qatar add an exciting element to our students’ education.
Through The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, for example, our secondary learners enjoy a range of unique experiences, including camping in the desert and skippering a sailboat. And our younger students head out on adventure camps with friends, where they hone their survival skills, enjoy water sports, and discover the wonders of local geology.
A wealth of one-of-a-kind opportunities enhance our students’ school experience.
We organise a range of educational trips across Qatar. Each one is carefully planned to broaden perspectives and add a real-world perspective to your child’s learning.
These include presenting the news at a national media agency and taking part in debates at the National Library. Your child will form meaningful community connections, too, cleaning local beaches and delivering food parcels during the holy month of Ramadan.
Our students take part in national art competitions, dance challenges, maths Olympiads, and Qatar Private Primary School Sports Association tournaments. They also relish the opportunity to represent our school at high profile occasions, like the 2022 World Cup.
We know that students who feel safe, happy, and included will flourish. And that’s why, at NAISAK, your child’s wellbeing will always come first.
Guided by our whole-school Leader of Wellbeing, our highly qualified staff provide the individualised support each student needs to look after their physical and mental health. All our teachers take part in specialist training with the world-renowned Anna Freud Centre, too, ensuring they have the knowledge and tools to provide expert advice and guidance.
On our digital Global Campus platform, your child will have access to a wealth of specialist support and resources. We also run information sessions for parents on our secure YouTube channel, covering topics like online safety and healthy eating.
With its warm, vibrant atmosphere, plentiful outdoor spaces, and specialist facilities, our Al Khor campus is the perfect place for your child to learn, discover, and grow.
