Ellesmere College Doha will open during September as part of a new partnership with the Education Avenue Group, supported by the British Ambassador to Qatar, Neerav Patel.
The school is set to open following a visit to the UK by representatives who wanted to work with Ellesmere College leaders after the success of the school's partnerships in Muscat, Oman, and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, that opened in 2023 and 2024 respectively.
Director of International Development at Ellesmere College International, Nick Pettingale said: "This partnership represents a pivotal moment for Ellesmere College International as we expand our footprint and bring our vision of holistic and cutting-edge education to new horizons.
"We are deeply grateful to Ambassador Neerav Patel and the Embassy team for their unwavering support, which has been instrumental in bringing this initiative to fruition."
