United School International opened in August 2022 on The Pearl, Doha, as a partnership between United Development Company (UDC) and UK-based Orbital Education. The school was established to deliver an enhanced British curriculum for expatriate and local families and to grow into a major international school in Doha. The campus was designed to accommodate up to 2,600 students. An official opening ceremony was held on 18 May 2023, attended by officials from the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, United Development Company, Orbital Education and the British Embassy.
USI emphasizes a thriving, inclusive community of students, families, teachers and leaders. A key part of community life is engagement through the USI Parent Society, which supports the parent–teacher–student collaboration and organizes opportunities for families to participate in school life. Families are encouraged to feel welcomed, valued, and connected to staff and the broader school community, with parent class representatives helping coordinate contributions to events. The Pearl Island setting and school programmes foster interactions beyond the classroom and support a sense of community among students and families.
The USI Parent Society is a formal body designed to support and develop a strong, active parent–teacher–student community. It includes dedicated parents, teachers, staff and students who help plan, organise and facilitate school events. There are Parent Class Representatives who liaise between classes to coordinate class contributions to events and to welcome new families. The Parent Society has defined terms of reference and roles, and provides resources and forms to join or to become a Class Representative. Parents can apply to join the Society or to become Class Reps, and the school provides communications such as newsletters and bulletins to support ongoing involvement. The Society works with staff to plan and run events that strengthen community ties and support student learning and wellbeing.
