I’ve been in the school for almost 6 years and the main problem is that the behavior of the students are terrible, they don’t care about their education, and some vape in the bathrooms. Uniform, phones, makeup aren’t taken serious. There is absolutely no diversity in the school. It lacks international students and teachers don’t take them serious. Only good thing is that there are some good teachers.

This is the worst school in Doha. They don’t teach you what you need to know about IGSCE exams such as the writing structure, key terms and basic stuff, then they get shocked when we get bad grades. Furthermore, they have a full timetable for year 12 with no self study or free block. The seniors have complaint but they would rather be stubborn and ignore what students have to say than making the school better. Then they get shocked when students want to leave and talk badly about other schools. They try to stop students leaving too!! So think before applying to NISL for you’re kids future and mental health wellbeing

This school is currently in one of the worst states ever in the whole schools history including students vaping and students not paying attention.

The school has really turned around. The new leadership team has made the school a much better place for all children to attend and learn. The teachers have done an amazing job to continue with teaching at such a high level during the pandemic. Behaviours have improved and the learning environment is second to none. As a parent of 3 children who attend the school, I am very happy with both the Primary and Secondary schools. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. This is a school that is most definitely on the up and one which I am very proud to say that my children attend.

First of all,the building of the school looks fantastic and attractive,but what the school gives isn’t anything like the outside. The main problem of the school is the behavior, nearly every lesson I had to shush everyone so I wouldn’t get into trouble with them. The students there act like children,they don’t respect the teachers and don’t care about their education. The only respect people like the principals but treat most teachers badly. This led to a a lot of teachers leaving and only the ‘bad teachers’ are left in the school. Sometimes, the teachers aren’t able to teach at al due to behavior, at some classes the teacher needs to wait 15-30mins for the students to calm down then they can start the lesson. In conclusion, the main problem is the behavior of the students, if it is fixed it will be a great school.
