Qatar Leadership Academy
Qatar Leadership Academy is a boarding school for boys that promotes excellence in four key areas of academic studies, leadership, heritage and Islamic studies, and sports. Located in Al Khor, in the north of Qatar, QLA is the result of an innovative partnership between Qatar Foundation and the Qatar Armed Forces. It was founded in August 2005.
 
Its unique educational experience emphasizes academic excellence, leadership, and moral values. Its belief is that through discipline, self-discipline, time management, perseverance and dedication, its cadets will be well prepared for future leadership roles.
 
The curriculum, taught in English, follows the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Grades 11-12, which prepares cadets for higher education in Qatar and overseas. QLA is a candidate school for the IB Middle Years Programme (for Grade 6 - 10), and follows international programme modeled on the IB Middle Years Programme.
 
The Academy's leadership program aims to develop the potential of every cadet by building self-esteem and self-discipline. The Islamic studies program provides instruction in Islamic values and Arabic cultural heritage, whilst encouraging inquiry into other cultures. Cadets have the opportunity to learn about and experience local fine heritage through study areas as: falconry, camel riding and horse riding, marine heritage, Majlis and Arda.
 
Graduates have the opportunity to continue their studies at local and overseas international universities, or to pursue military careers in the Qatar Armed Forces, or other internationally recognized military colleges.
 
From Saturday evening to Thursday evening, cadets live on campus giving them more time to successfully undertake QLA's challenging program.

The Learning Center
The Learning Center (TLC) was founded by Qatar Foundation in 1996 as a program offering instructional services, diagnostic consultation and therapeutic services to students who experienced academic difficulties.
 
The Learning Center School (TLCS) was established in 2002 to fully support students in grades one through twelve who face challenges in their academic achievement. Offering an Alternative Educational Plan, small class sizes and best practices in teaching, TLCS carries out Qatar Foundation's philosophy of fully developing each individual's capabilities.
 
Students are provided with an appropriate and supportive educational setting in which they can successfully advance academically, emotionally, physically and socially. TLCS students are enabled and encouraged to reach their full potential and to develop the necessary understanding and skills to move forward as productive global citizens.
 
TLCS held its first commencement in 2006 with graduates currently studying at Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar, the College of the North Atlantic, the Academic Bridge Program and post-secondary programs abroad.
 
TLC continues to offer services through outreach programs such as professional training, lectures, and parent and community information sessions which serve to promote public understanding and knowledge of current research in child development, teaching and parenting techniques.

Academic Bridge Program
The Academic Bridge Program (ABP) is a post-secondary school program that helps students in the transition from high school to university.
 
The ABP's mission is to provide top graduates of high schools in Qatar and elsewhere in the region with the academic and personal skills needed for success in high-quality English-language university programs, particularly the universities in Qatar Foundation's Education City.  Many of the students who have completed the Program in previous years are currently enrolled in these universities.
 
Among the subjects included in the curriculum are English (EFL), science, mathematics, computers and multi-media skills. The courses also help students develop the computer skills and study habits that will ensure their success once they are enrolled at university.
 
The ABP was also a pioneer in the region in providing a coeducational opportunity for young men and women.
 
Students benefit from the many educational resources available at Education City and have opportunities to participate in a wide variety of clubs and activities, such as debating, journalism, the Model United Nations, art and photography, athletic competitions and field trips.
