The English Modern School Wakra

The English Modern School Wakra is located on Building No. 66, Umm Al Hool Street, Wakra, Qatar. It is part of The English Modern School network, which operates four campuses across Doha, Khor, and two Wakra campuses. A new EMS Wakra campus is planned to open in September 2026, with current students set to transition to the new facility after the 2025-2026 academic year.

The Wakra campus offers Cambridge International Curriculum for KG1 to Year 6. This CAMBRIDGE-focused program is delivered within the EMS Wakra setting as part of the wider EMS network.

The school is co-educational and part of a private international school network. While the EMS network operates multiple campuses, no boarding facilities are indicated for EMS Wakra.

EMS Wakra provides support for students with special educational needs. The school states it can accommodate students with special learning needs and emphasizes inclusion, with a SENCO leading SEND provision and an AIM (Academic Intervention/Support) Department. Parents are encouraged to disclose any special needs during admissions.

No formal country affiliation is stated. The campus is in Qatar and follows the Cambridge International Curriculum.

There is no religious affiliation indicated; EMS emphasizes inclusive admission regardless of religion.

School hours are 7:00am to 1:40pm, with a 6:45am opening for drop-off and collection after the day ends.

A school bus service is available, with a Bus Fees charge listed (Term 1: QR 2,275; Term 2 and Term 3 similar). Specific bus routes or provider details are not published.

- The figures above separate tuition per term and list the school's published “extra fees” per year group; the term-by-term tuition amounts are the same across the primary year groups shown.

What the extra fees cover
- The school's extra fees cover items such as stationery, textbooks, classroom resources, materials used during the year, activities, trips and outings, and other academic and extracurricular resources. Purchase of the school uniform is billed separately and is not included in the extra fees.

Transport / bus fees
- School bus (transport) fees: QAR 2,275 per term (same amount each term as published).

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Fees are billed by term and are due at the start of each school term. The school requires payment of term fees in full at the beginning of each term; unpaid fees by the due date may lead to temporary exclusion from school and withholding of report cards until accounts are cleared. The re‑enrolment or enrolment contract will show the specific payment dates for each term.
- The school requires written notice (typically one half term / six weeks) of intention to withdraw a student; failure to provide required notice may affect refund eligibility. The school will report persistent overdue accounts to the Ministry and reserves the right to withhold records and block re‑enrolment until outstanding amounts are cleared. Late or delinquent accounts are followed up by the Business Office to seek a mutually agreeable resolution.

Refunds and withdrawal
- The school operates a published refund policy that can provide partial tuition refunds and release from the enrolment contract in specified circumstances. Parents must submit written notice of withdrawal (the school normally requires six weeks' notice). Application/testing fees are non‑refundable. In cases such as sudden termination of a parent's employment, the school may refund seat reservation fees when original documentary evidence is provided. Refunds follow the school's term‑based schedule and deadlines; refunds are not available after the published term deadlines for that academic year.

Boarding fees
- The Wakra campus operates as a day school (KG–primary levels listed for Wakra); there is no published boarding provision or boarding fees for the Wakra campus. Boarding fees are therefore not applicable.

Other costs and additional charges
- Uniforms: purchased separately and billed outside the published extra fees.
- External examination fees and some third‑party assessments are the responsibility of parents.
- Lost or damaged books are charged at the replacement price plus processing fees.
- The school may have occasional additional charges for specific activities or trips; these are billed as required.

Fee payment options
- The school collects fees through its online payments portal (listed as payments.englishmodernschool.net). The school's published materials also note the school's business office handles fee matters; the school reserves the right to refuse personal cheques. Specific payment methods available through the portal (for example card payments or bank transfer) are processed via that payments system. For card, bank‑transfer or other method availability, use the school's payments portal or the Business Office payment instructions when completing payment.

Notes and practical points for parents
- Registration fees are explicitly non‑refundable and are payable at registration.
- The seat reservation/deposit is deducted from Term 1 tuition.
- Unpaid fees can lead to exclusion from school activities, withholding of reports and transcripts, and may affect re‑enrolment.
- Transport is an optional additional fee charged per term.

Pupil nationalities at the Wakra campus are described as over 55 nationalities. The exact most common nationality and the local-to-international ratio are not publicly disclosed.
