A GREAT PLACE TO TEACH
Our values-driven school - built on respect, tenacity, innovative, purpose and leadership - was developed from our trailblazing Head of School/CEO, Mr. Mark Lentz. His mentor inspired him to be active and hands-on with instruction and to instill learning and student engagement in the classroom.
Take a look at our video that demonstrates the impact of our lesson planning and teaching on our students.

"I've been teaching here for two years. I could not ask for a better school to teach at! I have enjoyed teaching the students as well as learning from them. As an educator, I believe everyday is a new opportunity to learn and my main goal is to prepare my students to be successful in the rest of their school years. I hope for all of my students to understand that life is learning."

We started as a small community back in 2014 and, nowadays, we count more than 1,200 students and 100+ educators. We have established ourselves as a premier school in Qatar and, as a father, I trust my kids studying at GAAQ are receiving the best education."
