Al Jazeera Academy

Al Jazeera Academy is located in Doha, Qatar, in the Mesaimeer area. The mailing address is PO Box 22250, Doha, Qatar. It is part of the Ta'allum Group and operates within the Doha city area.

The school is organized into three levels: Infant School (early years), Junior School (primary), and Secondary School (secondary). These sections are clearly presented in the site navigation.

The school is co-educational for younger year groups; from Year 4 onward, boys and girls are taught in single-sex classes in separate wings within the same building. It operates as a day school.

The Learning Support Department runs the Knowledge Centre to support students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Provisions include Individualized Support Plans, Specialist Support, referrals and assessments, inclusive resources, and Lexia Reading Core5, with ongoing collaboration with parents.

The school is located in Qatar and emphasizes Qatari identification; there is no formal affiliation to a foreign country.

Islamic values underpin the school's ethos; there is no formal religious denomination affiliation.

The school week runs Sunday to Thursday. Infant timetables show early arrivals around 6:45–7:00am with earliest finish around 1:00pm; Key Stage 1 finishes around 1:30pm; Junior and Senior School finish around 1:30pm, including breaks and a prayer period during the day.

There is no published information about a school-run bus service in the official materials; families typically arrange private transport or use public transport.

- Returned cheques: the school will contact parents to arrange payment within two days; repeated returned cheques are forwarded to the Legal Department. Consequences for non‑payment include withholding academic reports, refusal to register for the next academic year, and suspension of certificates or enrolment confirmation.

Refund information and withdrawal charges
- Refunds of tuition are managed under a defined scale: 100% refund of a full semester fee (after deducting the reservation fee) is allowed if the Registrar and Finance Departments are notified in writing of withdrawal with zero attendance within the first 30 days after the start of a semester.
- If withdrawal is submitted within 15 calendar days from the first day of a semester, a prorated fee or the full reservation fee (whichever is higher) is charged for days attended. If withdrawal is submitted within 30 calendar days, one month's fee or full reservation (whichever is higher) is charged. No fees are refunded if Finance and Registration are not notified in writing within the first 30 days after the semester start. Book fees are non‑refundable once books have been issued and the student has attended class. Refunds for expelled students are prorated based on attendance. Excess payments related to MOE vouchers are refunded after appropriate deductions or carried forward on request. Advance tablet payments are refundable if the student is withdrawn without receiving the tablet, subject to IT confirmation.
