Al Manar International School (AMIS) in Qatar operates as part of a broader AMIS network established under the patronage of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. The AMIS network includes campuses in Doha, such as Al Thamed and Al Dafna, reflecting its growth within Qatar's private education sector. External sources place AMIS's founding in the late 2000s to early 2010s, with estimates of 2009 or 2011. The Al Thameed campus is part of AMIS's Qatar operations and, in 2019/2020, AMIS announced a transfer to a new campus in Al Thameed/Bani Hajar. The school emphasizes a legacy of success and aims to combine Islamic values with Arabic culture within Qatar's framework of international education.
AMIS emphasizes a connected school community supported by a Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and a Student Council. The PTA organizes programs and activities across K-12, focusing on educational programs, parental involvement, technology exposure, safety, and cultural activities. PTA leadership includes President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and other officers, with regular general, executive, and special meetings. The school hosts school-wide events and graduation ceremonies, reflecting an engaged community (e.g., Graduation Ceremony Class Of 2024).
AMIS has an organized PTA with officers including President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and General Board Members. The PTA is an organized group of AMIS parents selected to represent parent views to the AMIS Administration; it aims to support school improvement, strengthen home-school partnerships, and reinforce Qatar's history, culture, traditions, and values. The PTA assists with educational programs and extracurricular activities across K-12, encourages parental involvement, coordinates curriculum-enriching projects, and supports technology exposure. Types of PTA meetings include General Meetings (minimum three per academic year), Executive Meetings (minimum four per academic year), and Special PTA Meetings to nominate/vote for executive positions. The PTA operates under AMIS governance to support school safety and program delivery, and it submits an annual PTA Report to the AMIS Administration/Senior Leadership. AMIS maintains separate PTA pages for different years (e.g., 2023-2024 and 2024-2025) to organize leadership and activities.
