Robert Cody, Head of School, ACS Doha, comments: “I congratulate every one of our IB students, who have worked so hard and demonstrated resilience and commitment in the face of such a challenging and unprecedented period.  They should be proud of their achievements and, on behalf of all staff at ACS Doha, I wish our graduates happiness and success, as they get ready for the next chapter of their lives.”

Reflecting on his time at ACS Doha, Iman, a student from the Class of 2021, said: “I am forever thankful for the immense effort my teachers put in to help me reach my goals. Whenever I found myself stuck with an assignment or topic, I never hesitated to reach out to my teachers, who were always there to give me the best advice and assistance.”
In addition to the DP, the school offers the US High School Diploma and Advanced Placement (AP) programmes.
