My DH is starting work in Doha next week, we are planning to join him in 6 months, and are hoping to enrol the kids (DDs 7 & 10) at the start of the new school year in Sept. We have applied to DESS, DC, Park House, and Doha British School. DC have told us no chance til Sept 2014. DESS have said maybe a place for DD 10 in Sept but not DD 7. Park House initially said nothing til 2014, then asked us to submit application just in case. Doha British School said maybe, so fingers crossed.
Just wondering if I should apply to any more. Sherborne and Compass are a bit out of our budget, but may be possible as a last resort. I don't know whether I should apply to them now, or only later in the year if we don't get places in the others. I am worried that once you do get a place in a school you have to accept almost immediately and pay the whopping deposit. I would hate to accept Compass, and then maybe get lucky and be offered a place at Doha British School.
BTW, what are your thoughts on Doha British School? I have not seen it mentioned much on other Doha school threads on this forum.
I really would be grateful for any input/advice/suggestions.
