Welcome from the Primary School Principal

Dear Parents,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Primary School at the Swiss International School Qatar. Whether you are new to our community or returning for another exciting year, we are so pleased to have your family with us on this journey.

At SISQ, we believe that every child has the right to feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn. Our Primary School is a vibrant, caring environment where students are encouraged to ask questions, take risks, and grow both academically and personally. Through the IB Primary Years Programme, we support learners to develop into confident, creative, and compassionate individuals, ready to make a difference in their world.

As a truly international and multilingual school, we celebrate diversity in all its forms. We are proud to offer a rich language programme in English, French, Arabic, and German, and to nurture global citizenship at every stage. Equally, we recognise the importance of personal wellbeing and emotional development in helping children thrive.

The partnership between home and school plays a vital role in your child’s success. We value your trust and collaboration and invite you to take an active role in your child’s learning journey. This handbook has been created to support you with helpful information, routines, and expectations that guide life in the Primary School.

I am honoured to lead such a dedicated team of educators and to work closely with families to provide the very best learning experience for our students. I look forward to a fantastic year ahead, full of growth, discovery, and joyful learning.

Warm regards,
Sonia Bradley
Primary School Principal
