Doha College is listed among the world’s top 100 private schools by the Spear’s Schools Index 2025.
The institution is also one of the top 10 best schools in the Middle East and the sole representative from Qatar, a statement said.
The rating is in the fifth global index by Spear’s, the award-winning magazine for ultra high-net-worth individuals. While Doha College has achieved more Best in the World examination scores than any other British international school, the index assesses other criteria such as academic excellence, holistic education, university admissions success, values-based education, and inclusive learning.
“This methodology sets the Spear’s School Index apart from traditional school inspections, which often rate schools on a four-point scale from “Outstanding” to “Inadequate.” While many schools worldwide achieve outstanding inspection ratings, only a select few earn a place in the Spear’s Top 100 Private Schools list.
David Tongue, principal of Doha College, said: “It is wonderful for the College to be again recognised as one of the world’s top 100 private schools. This really is a strong endorsement of the exceptional work going on within each classroom and the innovation that the College has become synonymous with.” David Lish, chief operating officer at Doha College, said: “It is an honour to work at DC with so many professional staff — who we owe this recognition to — and so many fantastically warm, welcoming and able pupils.”
