Welcome to SEK International School Qatar!
Since our school opened its doors in 2013 to a small handful of students, we have travelled a long way. Today, SEK Qatar can proudly say that it is a true international school with over 50 nationalities.
The core of the SEK profile is to prepare our students to be capable of guiding their own futures and to becoming lifelong learners.

We are a community of learners, working together to prepare young people for the challenges of tomorrow through a broad and engaging curriculum, challenging our students to think critically and independently. Our dedicated international team of teachers and support staff are highly motivated and engaged in helping each of our students reach their full potential.

Our history
The start of our journey
The first SEK School opened in the historic centre of Madrid in 1892, receiving its first official recognition in 1902. In 1935, the Segovia family assumed the leadership of what is today, thanks to the vision and commitment of Mr. Felipe Segovia Olmo, a solid group that embraces innovation, student-centered education and international mindedness.
Guided by these principles, SEK has developed its educational model, that is aligned to the continuum of International Baccalaureate programmes, -one of SEK International Schools being among the 50 schools that first implemented the Diploma Programme in the world, in 1977.
Today
Today, SEK Qatar can proudly say that it is a true international school with more than 500 students representing over 50 nationalities.
