Message from CEO
It is with great pride and gratitude that I welcome you to Iqra English Schools. Since the opening of our first campus in January 2007, Iqra has grown into a thriving group of schools located in the heart of Doha. Our continued growth is a reflection of the trust placed in us by our community and the unwavering commitment of our dedicated staff to delivering excellence in education rooted in Islamic values. Today, Iqra English Schools comprise three campuses: a Preschool, and separate Primary Schools for Girls and Boys. Each campus is a vibrant learning environment where students are encouraged to grow academically, spiritually, and socially. We are proud to offer a curriculum broadly based on the framework of England and Wales, thoughtfully adapted to meet the needs of our diverse learners. In addition, we implement the Qatar National Curriculum for Arabic, Islamic Studies, and Qatar History—further enriched by Qur’an memorisation classes. This balanced approach ensures that our students not only gain academic excellence but also a strong sense of identity, character, and cultural awareness. Iqra is more than just a school—it is a nurturing community that brings together families, educators, and learners from diverse backgrounds. Together, we are united by a shared mission: to raise confident, well-rounded individuals who are prepared to lead and contribute meaningfully to both local and global communities. Thank you for being part of our journey. We look forward to building a brighter future together. Warm regards, Michelle Al-Helou Chief Executive Officer Iqra English Schools
