ACS Doha, one of Qatar’s leading international schools, held two special events to celebrate national and international cultures.
The school hosted its eighth International Fair under the theme ‘International mindedness’. In the run up to the event, students of all ages took part in activities such as wearing their country’s national dress to class, parading their country’s national flag through the school and transforming each classroom into a different country.
For the International Fair, students and parents enjoyed a buffet of food and drink from around the world as well as performances by students inspired by music from
different countries.
ACS Doha also celebrated Qatar National Day through various activities, including a buffet of traditional Qatari food, singing the Qatari national anthem and other traditional songs, and wearing traditional Qatari or maroon and white dress for the day.
Both events were designed to help ACS Doha’s students develop a greater understanding of cultures around the world. They reflect the values that the school hopes to encourage in its pupils – integrity, open-mindedness and empathy.
Robert Cody, head of School at ACS Doha, said: “At ACS, we welcome people of all cultures from around the world to create a powerful, shared experience that shapes the way we teach and learn, and actively defines our international character. Events like our International Fair and Qatar National Day celebrations help us to do this.
“By highlighting cultures from around the world, we aim to promote open-mindedness and tolerance of difference among all our students. It’s very important to us that we integrate our internationalism with the vibrant local traditions, culture and history of Qatar.”
ACS Doha is part of ACS International Schools, serving both local and international families in Qatar. ACS Doha is co-educational, enrolling students aged three to 18 years. Since it opened in Qatar seven years ago, ACS Doha has distinguished itself by delivering a rigorous academic education that respects the diversity of its international student body, and the individuality of learning styles.
The school recently announced a partnership with Al Jaber Group to build a brand new, state-of-the-art student campus in Doha. The new school will have a capacity of 2,470 students and will open in August 2020.
