Sherborne Qatar is proud to announce its partnership with KidZania Doha as a "Brand Ambassador School," a prestigious program that selects partner schools in Doha.

As a “Brand Ambassador School” for pupils following the British National Curriculum, Sherborne Qatar will benefit from hands-on experiences at KidZania, allowing pupils to apply what they learn in the classroom and make learning a more engaging and interactive process. This partnership further reinforces Sherborne's values and Learning Dispositions, as both brands share a commitment to empowering pupils with practical skills and fostering their personal development.

KidZania Doha, known as the "Land of cool kids," provides a unique environment where pupils take on adult roles and explore various professions. Through these role-playing experiences, pupils develop important life skills, financial literacy, and an understanding of governance.

KidZania has carefully studied the Sherborne curriculum for Year 1 to Year 6 and designed activities that align with the curriculum, ensuring a seamless integration of learning. These activities include engaging in Performing Arts to discovering talents and showcase skills, exploring travel through flight simulation and map reading, and learning about ancient Egypt's papermaking process, emphasizing sustainability and recycling.

For Year 1 pupils, activities focus on Performing Arts, allowing them to explore their interests and talents through singing, dancing, storytelling, and more. Year 2 pupils engage in activities centered around travel, using flight simulators and maps to learn about different countries and train as virtual pilots. Year 3 activities delve into ancient Egypt and the art of papermaking, teaching pupils about sustainability and the recycling process. By providing these immersive experiences, KidZania Doha and Sherborne Qatar create a dynamic learning environment that goes beyond textbooks and traditional teaching methods, fostering curiosity, creativity, and a passion for lifelong learning.

The Sherborne Qatar School for Girls has recently established a collaboration with QBF, creating numerous avenues for our girls. Through this partnership, we aim to identify talent, support our pupils' development, and provide them with world-class coaching from Qatar's youth and senior national team head coaches.

Within this program, our pupils have the privilege of attending regular training sessions at both the girls' school and QBF's dedicated training facility. This dynamic training environment allows them to refine their basketball skills and compete in various events, including our private schools' league and the Schools Olympic Programme.

As the program continues to grow, our pupils will have the opportunity to represent their school and even aim for selection to the prestigious Qatar National Basketball Team.

This comprehensive program combines a variety of martial arts styles, including Kickboxing, Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Self-Defense (MDS). Through this unique blend, pupils not only acquire fundamental martial arts techniques but also master impressive and intricate moves known as "martial arts tricking."

Engaging in our martial arts program, pupils will witness remarkable improvements in endurance, strength, and overall physical fitness. Moreover, they will gain essential self-defense skills and techniques, ensuring their safety and empowering them with self-protection abilities. By participating in these activities, your children will develop not only physical resilience but also mental fortitude, preparing them for any challenge that comes their way.
