Joining a Doha School Mid Year
I have been in Doha about 4 weeks now and been trying to get my son into a school (he is currently back in the UK). Today I found a school that has a place in his year, but the told me a bit of a bombshell, that I had not heard anywhere before.
They said that, under Supreme Education Council guideline, no child can be enrolled into a school during the school year and that I would have to wait until September to get him a place.
Now I have never heard this before from my HR and to be honest it would have been a big factor in me accepting the job? Does anyone know if this is actually true or not? Surely lots of parents come to Doha mid year?

Re: Joining a Doha School Mid Year
Not heard that one before. My kids school seem to have children coming and going all through the year.
