What Park House English School does

Park House English School is a private British international school located at 990 Mesaimeer Road in Doha, Qatar, operating since 1994 on the Abu Hamour campus. The school delivers the English National Curriculum across four stages — Early Years (ages 3-5), Primary (ages 5-11), Secondary (ages 11-16), and Sixth Form (ages 16-18) — terminating in IGCSE and A Level qualifications accredited by Pearson Edexcel and the University of Cambridge. The student body is multinational, with over 75 nationalities and 45+ home languages, and academic outcomes include a 100% A Level pass rate and 55% of students achieving 9-7 IGCSE grades in 2025.

The school's product stack combines core academic programmes with a multilingualism programme (Arabic, French, Spanish, German, English, and home languages), over 80 extracurricular activities, a performing arts programme, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, pastoral care and wellbeing services, and the Future Pathways university and careers guidance programme. Technology integration centres on the International Schools Partnership (ISP) network's International Learning Opportunities (ILOS) suite, edtech platforms such as FlashAcademy (AI-powered language learning), Linguascope, Mathletics, and Lichess.org, and the ISAMS parent portal and school management system.

Commercially, the school operates a B2C recurring tuition revenue model with annual billing across four age-based tiers (Early Years, Primary, Secondary, Sixth Form). It is wholly owned by International Schools Partnership (ISP), a network of 43 premium schools globally, which provides the school with shared programmes, staff development, and cross-school collaboration. GTM is sales-led and community-led, combining direct admissions, campus visits, virtual open days, and an active Parent School Association driving word-of-mouth referrals. Multiple accreditations — BSO, CIS, COBIS, QNSA, AoBSO, and BSME — underpin the school's positioning in the premium international school segment. The school employs 147 staff.
