My son has been at Al Nebras for two years, and it has truly been the best experience for him. Ms. Shefna and the Pioneers team have always been incredibly welcoming and so in tune with my child’s needs. Every day, I see remarkable improvement in my son’s love for learning. He has grown so much in confidence and knowledge, grasping concepts I wouldn’t expect a 6-year-old to understand. At this tender age, he is already reading well, and most importantly, he genuinely loves learning. As an educator myself, this is something I deeply value—fostering a love for learning in children. I also appreciate how well they know my child, recognising when he needs one-to-one support and always empowering him in a positive way. The classrooms are always clean and organised, and I honestly don’t know how they’re able to consistently maintain such high standards. I’m also delighted to see they’ve upgraded their AstroTurf and playground facilities, even while opening a new campus. Thank you, Al Nebras. Enrolling him here has been the best decision we’ve made, and he looks forward to school every single day!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Al Nebras preschool! From the moment you step inside, you feel the warmth and care that make it such a special place. The atmosphere is beautiful, not just in its surroundings but in the way the teachers create a nurturing and inspiring environment for the children. If you are looking for a place where your child will be encouraged, valued, and truly happy, I couldn’t recommend Al Nebras preschool enough. My son’s teachers were Ms Shefna, Ms Melani and Ms Zeynep and there are no words to fully express how grateful I am for everything they have done for our son, John. They are truly exceptional—caring, loving, and deeply dedicated to each child’s growth. Their ability to appreciate the individuality of every student, to encourage them to thrive in their own way, and to make them feel confident and valued is nothing short of amazing. John absolutely loved his time at Al Nebras. He felt safe, supported, and genuinely happy every day, and that is because of the incredible teachers who nurtured his love for learning. The most important thing is that he didn’t just enjoy school—he grew to love school itself. Now that we have moved to another country, we appreciate Al Nebras school even more. We see firsthand how much John thrives because of the strong foundation, knowledge, and care he received from you. It is clear how much of a positive impact this school has had on him, and we only wish that our other children could have the same experience. I truly hope that one day, they too will have the privilege of learning from the same amazing teachers. And of course I would like to mention all staff, administration and management, as it is clear that the warmth, care, and excellence we saw every day are a direct result of the effort and love they put into creating an environment where children can thrive. Thank you for making this school a place where children feel safe, encouraged, and excited to learn! If there were more schools like Al Nebras around the world, the impact would be enormous. Children would grow up feeling valued, confident, and kind. They would learn not only knowledge but also how to care—about themselves, about others, and about the world around them.

Al Nebras International Preschool is a wonderful Montessori school with a welcoming, multicultural, and friendly environment. My son absolutely loved his time there, and the school played a key role in helping him thrive during his early years of learning. I highly recommend Al Nebras Preschool to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching educational experience for their child.

Both my boys studied there for their whole preschool years and it was such a wonderful and rewarding experience. Now that they are in primary and middle school, I can see that the learning they did - academic and emotional - set them up for success. I’m so happy to have in Qatar such a wonderful institution.

regret to say that my experience with [Al Nebras international preschool] has been quite disappointing. While I had high hopes for this school, there were several issues that I cannot overlook. 1. Poor Communication: The staff often failed to provide updates on my child’s progress or even inform me about important events,also we received many emails from different names from the school which make the follow up difficult. In addition to the lack of credibility regarding the transfer to the new school in the last quarter of 2024 2. Lack of Supervision: I noticed that the teacher-to-student ratio was inadequate. This is concerning for a place meant to nurture young children. 3. Unclean Environment: The facility did not seem well-maintained . And I noticed that the school try to maintained when the school start, I think they have a lack of cash flow to upgrade the school facilities at the school break . 4. Unqualified Staff: the manager of the school it’s self need to have many courses to learn how to manage high quality school . and staff teachers appeared inexperienced and unprepared to handle young children, especially in managing challenging behaviors or providing meaningful learning opportunities While I understand no preschool is perfect, I expected a safer and more nurturing environment for my child. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend to other parents at this time.
