What our people say.

  • Julia Jones, Housemaster

    “Having previously taught in Madrid, Brunei and the UK, I arrived to take up the post of Head of House 6 years ago. Students and staff are warm, friendly and supportive. My husband and two daughters, who are 8 and 14, love Qatar for its weather, sport and safe lifestyle. AKIS is a rewarding, fast paced and challenging environment to work in. The future is exciting.”

  • Aidah Rahhal, Housemaster

    “I joined the school in 1999 as a volunteer and I became a full time employee in 2000 and now I am a Housemaster. I feel very fortunate to be part of AKIS. I am very privileged to be able to serve the students and parents of this vibrant and culturally diverse international school. I work across all parts of the school and I enjoy engaging and supporting many of our students and families. Each day is a new learning experience, and a new story for AKIS and the community. I am very proud of the school and the students”.

  • Jane Cartwright, Housemaster

    "I have been with AKIS for eight years, having come from Belfast, on a two-year career break with my family, we fell in love with the school, the people and with Qatar; we decided to extend our stay. Working at AKIS is a great pleasure and a privilege, we are an international school that lives and learns together with respect for diversity and delight in what each one of us can offer and in turn building a strong school community. I highly recommend working at AKIS for those who relish a challenging and rewarding experience."

  • Rachelle Nidua, Medical Team Member

    "Working as part of the Medical Team here in AKIS since September 2013, brings me nothing but happiness and satisfaction as I ensure that the students are at their optimal health. Being part of an international team has helped broaden my capabilities in communications and the way I view and learn about each different culture. I have also reinforced my knowledge in First Aid and in Child Protection through the seminars AKIS has provided. AKIS has opened new doors for me and for my children to have a brighter future."
