Qatar-Finland International School

International K-12 School

We are an international learning environment offering education for 4–18 year old students – KG and Grades 0–12. The curriculum is based on the Finnish National Core Curriculum, adapted to 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 students to learn for life, not just for tests. Continuous assessment, through daily observation and formative feedback, helps teachers and parents track real-time progress in both academics, work skills, and behavior.

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."

Amira AlMisryArabic and Islamic teacher

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!

Ms. Kelly NelsonParent of Grade 11 and Grade 9 Student

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.

Ms. Elizabeth KellyParent of Grade 4 and Grade 2 Student

"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."

Ms. Anne DullaghanAcademic Principal, KG-G6
