Oryx International School - Qatar Airways

General information

The school opened in January 2016 and provides a first-class environment in which teaching and learning can flourish. The school has specialist science and information technology laboratories as well as art, music, and physical education facilities. There is a designated library and dining room. The spaces are light, bright and welcoming, providing a stimulating environment for young minds.

We use the latest technology to support learning, classrooms are fitted with interactive white boards and the children have access to chrome books and computers during specified lessons. I have removed the word BUT. We also encourage learning through play, so our younger students have access to a range of traditional play equipment and activities.

Facilities for physical education are excellent with an air-conditioned indoor sports hall and outdoor sports facilities for pitch and court games.

In order to provide the highest standards of teaching, we offer an excellent staff to student ratio. Our class sizes are capped at 20 students in Reception and 24 in other year groups. Our British teaching staff are highly qualified and bring many years of teaching expertise, with enhanced knowledge of the English Curriculum and experience of the additional challenge of teaching in an international setting. Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes will have the additional benefit of full time Teaching Assistants in each class, while Years 3 to 6 have daily support from a Teaching Assistant on a rotating basis. These assistants support the academic and social development of the children, which is especially important when their native languages are diverse. Our careful and child-centred approach ensures that all students progress well and benefit from being part of this international community.
