Lynxes is Q.F.I. School’s flagship After School programme, where students pursue their passions in sport, music, drama, dance, debate, chess and coding with dedicated coaching. Built on four pillars: finding one’s “own thing”, setting goals and doing one’s best, belonging to a community, and creating memorable moments. Lynxes extends learning beyond the classroom and champions wellbeing, character and commitment.
For students, Lynxes means purposeful training, teamwork and leadership in a supportive, high-expectation environment. Our boys’ and girls’ teams compete across age groups and have brought home medals in athletics, basketball, football, volleyball and badminton when competing against other private schools in Qatar. Alongside sports, performing arts and academic clubs build confidence, creativity and communication, skills that benefit learners for life.
Parents value Lynxes because it provides high-quality, supervised activities on campus, reducing logistics while keeping children engaged, safe and inspired after school. For the school, Lynxes strengthens community spirit and showcases our values through students who proudly represent Q.F.I. School as ambassadors in competitions and events. If you want your child to grow, belong and excel, Lynxes is where they can do it.
Sports (basketball, football, badminton, volleyball)
Lynxes Sports develops fitness, skills and teamwork through purposeful training and clear goals. Students commit to regular practices and fixtures. Teams compete in inter-school tournaments and leagues across Qatar (including QPPSSA for primary and QUESS for secondary), gaining experience in both home and away games. Coaches emphasise sportsmanship, resilience and teamwork skills.
Chess
Our Chess Programme develops concentration and strategic thinking through a focus on openings, tactics, and endgames. Members improve their skills by solving puzzles and playing against one another. A key perk of joining is automatic entry into the school-wide tournament, bypassing the qualifying rounds.
Coding Club
Coding Club is open for all students who want to learn more about computers. We code games, work with Microbits, build robots, create web pages, design in 3D, and use apps for presentations, animations, and more. You don’t need to be an expert—just curious and ready to improve your skills.
Dance
Lynxes Dance builds technique, musicality and confidence across styles such as hip-hop, commercial and contemporary. Sessions include conditioning, choreography and stage presence in a supportive, high-energy environment. Dancers perform in school showcases and community events throughout the year.
Drama Club
Drama develops confidence, creativity, teamwork, movement, voice and improvisation skills. Through script work and stagecraft students learn to express themselves. Students collaborate to create compelling scenes, practise clear communication and develop listening and memory abilities. The club stages termly showcases and productions for families and the school community.
Debate
Debate trains research, case-building and persuasive public speaking through structured motions and practice rounds. Students learn to argue both sides, respond to points of information and speak with clarity under time pressure. Lynxes debaters compete in inter-school tournaments and the Qatar-wide debate season, representing Q.F.I. School with confidence and respect.
Bands
Bands nurture ensemble musicianship—timing, dynamics and listening—while exploring diverse genres. Students rehearse regularly, develop performance discipline and learn how to arrange parts together. The bands perform at assemblies, school celebrations and end-of-term concerts.
Choir
Choir focuses on healthy vocal technique, harmony singing and expressive performance. Rehearsals build ear training and teamwork as students tackle repertoire from different musical traditions. The choir performs at school events and seasonal concerts, sharing the joy of collective music-making with our community.
