Application Process

Thank you for your interest in the American School of Doha.  We look forward to receiving your application and getting to know your family throughout our admissions process! 

The American School of Doha's Admissions Committee reviews applications on a “rolling admissions” basis, and therefore we do not have an application deadline.  Admission to the American School of Doha is based upon previous school records, the student’s application, ASD's current school recommendations, work habits, and aptitude testing. New or waitpool students will be admitted according to Board policy:

1. Siblings of current ASD students
2. Dependents of corporate sponsor employees
3. Others based on date of application

The first step toward being considered for enrollment at ASD involves filling out our online inquiry form and/or contacting our Office of Admission at admissions@asd.edu.qa or +974-4459-1511.  We will then send you a link to our online application form, and/or arrange a time for your family to visit ASD.  We accept appointments year-round. A visit will provide you with a chance to tour our campus and meet with a member of our admissions staff.

After completing the online inquiry form, the following application requirements must be completed/submitted within the online application form in order for your child(ren) to be considered:

** No admission decision can be made prior to the completion of the application process

ADMISSION ASSESSMENT:

Even with the above documentation, an on site admissions assessment will be required for all applicants. Assessments take place throughout the year as seats become available, and/or during the Spring of each school year.  The initial admissions assessment does not guarantee a seat to be held.  Seats will be offered based on Board policy priority and seat availability once a student qualifies.

** The American School of Doha reserves the right to contact schools previously attended in order to validate records provided and/or inquire about the student(s) in question.
