Message from the Principal
I would like to wish you a very warm welcome to Richmond International School. As Principal, I am extremely proud to lead the school forward and continue to develop the values which underpin everything we do. We have a dedicated, enthusiastic and committed team of staff who endeavour to provide exciting and enriching experiences for our children. We value every child as an individual and we believe that our staff make a real difference – to give the very best education, both academically and socially to our pupils. We seek to admit students who will be happy and thrive within the Richmond International School community. Richmond is nestled in the heart of Doha with excellent road links to the rest of the city and beyond. From KG to year six, our curriculum is based on the National Curriculum for England with a global flavour, in order to ensure our children become truly ‘international’ in their outlook and attitude. Our vision revolves around pushing the boundaries of potential. We expect our students to not only meet high standards of work and behaviour, but to strive to surpass their own expectations. Our dedicated educators are here to support and challenge each learner, ensuring they reach new heights of achievement.
Richmond proudly stands as a multicultural community, representing a vast range of nationalities and, encompassing more than 30 languages. Our strength lies in our appreciation for diversity, values, and excellence. While academic excellence undoubtedly opens doors to a brighter future, we also understand the significance of instilling strong character and practical skills that extend far beyond the classroom walls. At Richmond, we are dedicated to empowering students to become true leaders, equipped to embrace challenges, make a positive impact, and excel in all aspects of life. In addition to academic excellence, we offer a robust sports and Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA) program, encouraging students to explore their interests and talents beyond the classroom. We integrate the wonders of Qatar’s locality and ecology along with the culture and heritage of both Qatar’s and our children’s home countries, to inspire learning and create a sense of responsibility for our local and global environment, whilst promoting sustainability and care for the environment.
Parents and carers play a very important part of school life and we value our strong partnership with them. Together, we share responsibility for the children’s education and we work closely putting the children at the centre of everything we do. We encourage our parents to become involved in all aspects of school life, so that, as partners, we can promote high standards of learning, behaviour and attitudes to enable every child to reach their full potential.
I encourage prospective parents and students to visit our school, meet our dedicated staff and students, and experience the warmth of our educational environment. Education, to us, means making a tangible, positive difference in the lives of our learners, equipping them with lifelong skills for success. It would be an honour to welcome you to join us on this journey of discovery and leadership at Richmond International School.
