OUR STORY

In the 1990’s and right up to the early 2000’s, older generations of Qatari parents would send their children overseas to reputed schools in the United Kingdom in pursuit of high quality education.

These young leaders, would return back to Qatar and lead Qatar into the forward thinking, prosperous, trend setting nation it is today.

OUR FOUNDER

Was one such visionary who was passionate about creating distinguished educational pathways in Qatar. Thereby making opportunity and access available to young people in the country. Importantly, he was keen to strike the right balance between education and culture so that future generations would benefit from quality education without losing connection to their traditional culture and values.

He reached out to Sherborne which is one of Britain’s oldest and most distinguished places of learning founded under Royal charter in 1550.

Members of the Qatari Royal Family, including the Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani , are alumni of Sherborne UK. Sheikh Abdulla bin Ahmed Al Thani also sent his sons to the International College and to Sherborne School, UK.

They were impressed with the ethos, quality of education and learning environment of Sherborne UK which played a pivotal role in molding the personality of their children.

Sharaka Education was founded on these guiding principles. We strive to bring unique educational experiences and provide life long learning opportunities to people in Qatar and in the region.

Sherborne Qatar was founded in 2009 making it the first overseas Sherborne school to leave the shores of the United Kingdom. The vision was to establish the best English language school in Qatar offering Sherborne UK’s ethos and vision for education within the cultural environment of Qatar.

Kidzania Doha the world’s fastest growing and loved edutainment brand opened its doors to the kids of Qatar in 2019.

Roughly translated KidZania means the “Land of cool kids”. It is a land where kids declare themselves independent from adults and run their own kid size world.

A world unencumbered by race, religion, or culture rooted in a utopian vision of what a well functioning, ideal world could be. A world full of opportunities where kids can role play adult professions.

In this world, kids feel empowered with the ability to role play and mimic professions of us adults. Each role-play experience is carefully designed to teach children important life skills, values, financial literacy, governance and the importance of education in the journey of life.

The vision was to provide kids with practical, real life experiences so they can understand and apply their academic learning in real world settings. School curriculums are linked to KidZania activities to reinforce learning principles.
