Qatar-Finland International School

Established in 2014 at the invitation of Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Qatar-Finland International School is an international learning environment for students aged 4 to 18, from Kindergarten through Grade 12. The curriculum is based on the Finnish National Core Curriculum and is thoughtfully adapted to the Qatari context. English is the language of instruction across all grade levels.

The school’s student-centred learning methods inspire students to become globally minded, active citizens who are balanced lifelong learners. At Qatar-Finland International School, academic excellence is valued alongside artistic expression and practical skills, fostering a well-rounded foundation for every student. The holistic approach prioritises wellbeing and social-emotional development, creating a supportive and balanced atmosphere in which each child can truly thrive.

Assessment focuses on learning progress rather than results alone, and students are guided to reflect on and take responsibility for their own learning. The school’s dedicated and highly qualified staff, most of whom hold master’s degrees, are deeply committed to supporting students on their academic and personal journeys.

Lynxes is Q.F.I. School’s flagship after-school programme, offering students the opportunity to pursue their passions in sport, music, drama, dance, debate, chess, and coding under the guidance of dedicated coaches. The programme extends learning beyond the classroom while promoting wellbeing, character, and commitment.
