Philippine School Doha

What Philippine School Doha does

Philippine School Doha (PSD) is a non-stock, non-profit community school that delivers the Philippine K-12 basic education curriculum to the Filipino expatriate community in Qatar. Founded in 1992 under the auspices of the Philippine Embassy and governed by Amiri Ordinance No. 7 of 1980, the school operates from a permanent Messaimeer campus and enrolls more than 4,000 students across Preschool, Primary, Intermediate, Junior High School, and Senior High School levels. PSD holds DepEd Recognition No. 002, s. 2017 from the Philippines Department of Education and is acknowledged by Qatar's Ministry of Education and Higher Education, allowing it to award credentials recognized in both jurisdictions.

The school runs a five-level academic product set (Preschool through Senior High School) plus an annual Summer Program and school bus transportation services. Its technology footprint is operational rather than differentiating: a WordPress website (psd.sch.qa), Follett Destiny for library management, JotForm for stakeholder feedback, and PickTime for appointment scheduling. There is no app, no API, and no disclosed AI capabilities. Multi-channel community outreach uses Facebook pages for each department, an Instagram presence via qatar_edu, and participation in the Philippine Schools Overseas network.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition and ancillary academic fees, supplemented by subscription transportation fees. Pricing is structured annually by academic level; specific tuition is not publicly disclosed and parents are directed to contact the school directly. Headcount stands at 288 employees supporting 4,000+ students at a staff-to-student ratio of roughly 1:14, consistent with a fully operational K-12 campus. There are no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no external investors; control sits with a Board of Trustees under the Philippine Embassy in Qatar.
