Pearling Season International School of Doha

Pearling Season International School of Doha is located at 46, Al Khudri St. (810), Bin Dirham (25) Al Mansoura, Doha, Qatar (PO Box 47021). The Al-Mansoura campus sits between two ring roads, affording easy access by road. A second campus is located in Al-Gharrafa, Building 12, Al Oyoun St No. 879, Zone No. 51. The two campuses are part of the Pearling Season International School network in Doha.

The school serves Pre-School (Kindergarten) through Year 13, covering ages roughly 3 to 18. The Primary curriculum uses the IPC alongside the UK National Curriculum, while the Secondary program follows Cambridge and Edexcel curricula, including IGCSEs and AS Levels.

The school is co-educational (mixed gender) and operates as a day school with campuses in Al Mansoura and Al Gharrafa. No boarding facilities are indicated in the public materials.

Pearling Season has an Additional Learning Needs (ALN) department with expert teachers who work to integrate ALN students into mainstream classes. The ALN program accommodates a range of conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, ASC, autism spectrum conditions, dyslexia, dyscalculia, Down syndrome, dysgraphia and other learning needs.

The school operates as a British international school overseas and follows the UK National Curriculum, aligning with UK educational standards rather than a Qatar-only framework.

There is no formal religious affiliation stated. Islamic studies are taught in English as part of the curriculum.

The school operates Sunday to Thursday. Administrative/reception hours are typically 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, and campus information is organized around these days. School tours for prospective families are offered from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Sunday to Thursday.

A school bus service is offered; details on routes, pickup points and fees are provided through Admissions and during the enrollment process.

Tuition fees by year group (annual; QAR) and indicative per‑term amount
Note: the school records annual tuition amounts; the school operates by academic terms (re‑enrolment items are deducted from the first term fee), so per‑term figures below are the annual tuition divided into three equal instalments (annual ÷ 3) presented as a practical term‑amount. These per‑term figures are calculated for convenience.

Parents should expect to purchase multiple items per child.
