A British online school bringing the UK curriculum to Qatar
Oxford Online School gives students in Qatar access to live, teacher-led British education from Year 4 to Year 13. A structured timetable, small classes and consistent academic support - all delivered online.
Live British education, built around a proper school structure
We are a fully online British school operating from Oxford. Students follow a timetabled day of live lessons with qualified, specialist teachers. Our approach mirrors the structure and rigour of a traditional British school while giving families in Qatar and across the world the flexibility of home-based learning.
Why families choose Oxford Online School
Scheduled live lessons, every school day
Students join live lessons delivered by subject specialists during the UK school week. The timetable follows the rhythm of a traditional British school day, keeping students on track and in step with their classmates. During lessons, students can ask questions and receive guidance in real time. Lesson recordings are available from Year 10 to help students revisit content when preparing for exams.
When lessons run for students in Qatar
Oxford Online School runs on UK time. Qatar is three hours ahead (GMT+3), so the school day typically falls in the late morning to early evening window for students based there. This is a comfortable fit for most Gulf families. You can download a full time zone guide to see how the timetable maps to Qatar Standard Time.
For international families who need continuity
Oxford Online School is a practical choice for families in Qatar who want a recognised British education without relying on local school availability. British expatriate families who want their children to continue UK curriculum learning, international families targeting UK university entry or GCSE and A Level qualifications, and families who move between countries and need educational stability all find the model suits them well. Speak to the admissions team to find out if it is the right fit for your child.
From Primary to Sixth Form
Oxford Online School caters for students from Year 4 through to Year 13. Whether your child is building their primary foundations or preparing for university entrance, there is a structured programme designed for their stage.
What families in Qatar should consider
Qatar's education system is managed by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, which oversees compulsory schooling for residents. Families considering Oxford Online School as their child's primary education should review their obligations under Qatari residency and education regulations. We recommend speaking with our admissions team, who have experience supporting families across the Gulf region and can help you understand what to consider before enrolling.
