The Hamilton International School, an international school in Doha, has been recognized with the Edarabia Parents’ Choice Award 2026, a prestigious accolade that celebrates the school’s commitment to academic excellence, student wellbeing, and meaningful partnerships with families. This recognition reflects the trust our parent community places in the school and celebrates our shared commitment to helping every student thrive.

What the Edarabia Parents’ Choice Award 2026 Recognises

The Edarabia Parents’ Choice Award honours schools that consistently deliver outstanding educational experiences while fostering supportive and engaging learning environments. Receiving this award celebrates the strong relationships between our students, parents, teachers and wider school community, while recognising The Hamilton International School’s commitment to providing an exceptional learning experience for every child.

An International School in Doha with American and IB Pathways

Offering an international curriculum underpinned by American standards, with pathways to both the American High School Diploma and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) in the senior years, The Hamilton International School equips students with the knowledge, confidence and global perspective to succeed at leading universities and beyond. Combined with exceptional facilities, a vibrant community representing more than 90 nationalities, and excellence in academics, performing arts and sport, Hamilton provides an educational experience that empowers every learner to achieve their full potential.

For families looking for an American school in Doha or an IB school in Doha, this dual pathway means the choice is made in Grade 11, not at the point of enrolment.

At The Hamilton International School, every student is encouraged to develop the confidence, knowledge and skills needed to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Through our personalised approach to learning, we inspire curiosity, creativity, collaboration and resilience, ensuring students are prepared for success in an ever-changing world. As part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP), we believe learning should be at the heart of everything we do. Through high-quality teaching, meaningful learning experiences and a culture of continuous improvement, we empower every student to grow with confidence, purpose and a lifelong love of learning.

A Recognition Shared by Our Whole Community

Terry Senior, Principal of The Hamilton International School, said:

“Receiving the Edarabia Parents’ Choice Award is especially meaningful because it reflects the trust our families place in The Hamilton International School every day. This recognition belongs to our entire community, our students, parents, teachers and support staff, whose shared commitment creates an environment where every learner is known, challenged and inspired to achieve their very best. At Hamilton, we are proud to offer an international curriculum underpinned by American standards that encourages every student to discover their strengths, pursue their passions and embrace opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. As part of the International Schools Partnership, we are united by a belief that learning has the power to transform lives, and we remain committed to continually enhancing the experience we provide for every child.”

This achievement is also a testament to the dedication and expertise of our teachers and support staff, whose passion creates meaningful learning experiences every day. Their commitment ensures every student feels supported, challenged and empowered to reach their full potential academically, socially and personally.

We are incredibly grateful to our parents for their continued trust, encouragement and partnership. Strong relationships between school and home are central to our approach, creating a nurturing environment where students feel valued, confident and inspired to achieve their very best.

Rania, a parent at The Hamilton International School, said:

“Hamilton is one of the best schools, in my opinion, because I can see the development of my children and their excitement for learning.”

Receiving the Edarabia Parents’ Choice Award 2026 is an important milestone for The Hamilton International School and reaffirms our commitment to delivering an exceptional international education underpinned by American standards. As a private school in Doha and as part of the International Schools Partnership, we will continue to invest in outstanding teaching, innovative learning experiences and world-class opportunities that prepare students for success at university and beyond. Together with our families, we look forward to inspiring confident learners, nurturing individual talents and empowering the next generation of globally minded learners. Families are welcome to book a tour of our campus at any point during the year.
