“What we are now seeing through projects like ACS Doha and similar developments in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi that we are involved in is established schools taking advantage of current market conditions and land availability and creating a new generation of school campuses that reflect the very latest in pedagogical thinking.”
The new school, which is set to be built by Al Jaber Construction Group with Mace as development manager and AECOM as consulting engineer, is an important part of ACS’s ability to attract the best educational talent as well as reflecting Qatar’s wider growth according to Tim Cagney, chief executive of ACS International Schools.
He said: “We are honoured that this expansion resonates strongly with the human development goals of Qatar’s 2030 National Vision and our own goal is to make an ACS education available to more students around the world.
“After more than 50 years in education in the UK and Qatar, the new campus will enhance our strong international reputation, ensuring we continue to attract the very best teachers and educational leaders from around the world.”
