Qatar Finland International School

International K-12 School

We are truly an international learning environment providing education for 5-17 years old students – Grades 0-12. The school curriculum is based on the Finnish National Core Curriculum, with the adaptations in the local Qatari context. The language of teaching for all grade levels is English.

Finnish Education

The Finnish approach to education is deeply holistic. We not only inspire success, but also nurture well-being. Our world-known education emphasizes cross-curricular themes and learning. Students not only study subjects but also themes and phenomena.

Joy of Learning

Versatile working methods give the students the joy of learning and experiences of success. The function of the working approaches is to develop social, learning, thinking, working, and problem-solving skills, and to foster active participation.

Continuous Assessment

We want our students to learn for life, not only to do well in tests. Continuous assessment is a collaborative process to enhance learning. Observing students’ daily work and using continuous formative assessment gives the teacher and the parents realistic and up-to-date information about students’ academic level and working skills.

YEARS OPERATING

In Q.F.I. School learning never stops. Every school day our professional team learn from each other and from our students as well. This positive school culture promotes happiness, love, and acceptance throughout the learning process. This positive environment goes hand in hand with safety, which helps keep everyone focused and track their missions."

We chose to send our kids to Q.F.I. School because we wanted them to experience world-class Finnish education here in Qatar. They’re now in their 7th academic year at the school. The Finnish curriculum is amazing, but it is the teachers who are the true heart of the school!

After researching schools in Qatar, we chose Q.F.I. School because we felt the Finnish approach to education would suit in our children needs. The school was very welcoming and through Zoom meeting we learned more about the curriculum and day to day life at the school. Teaching is very child focused and our children are extremely happy since joining in August 2021.

"I feel proud and privileged to be part of the Q.F.I. School family. Through the top-class Finnish teaching methods, our highly qualified educators can ensure the students’ utmost progress while prioritizing their holistic well-being."
