Facts last verified:

Which IB boards do schools in Qatar use?

  • IB Diploma Programme (DP)

    Offered by 17 schools in Qatar according to ibo.org. Students take six subjects, usually three at Higher Level and three at Standard Level, plus Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and CAS, and are registered for exams by their school's DP coordinator.

  • IB Middle Years Programme (MYP)

    Offered by 13 schools in Qatar according to ibo.org. Many students move from the MYP into the DP at the same school, while others join the DP from a British or American curriculum and need help adjusting to IB assessment.

  • IB Career-related Programme (CP)

    Offered by 3 schools in Qatar according to ibo.org. CP students take some DP courses alongside a career-related study, and we can tutor the DP subjects within it.

When are IB exams for students in Qatar?

Full calendar by board on our exam dates page.
SessionWhat applies in Qatar
May sessionThe session taken by IB World Schools in Qatar. Results are released on the candidate website from 12.00 GMT on 6 July, which is 3pm in Qatar.
November sessionUsed mainly by southern-hemisphere schools and for retakes. The IB's assessment FAQ says November results are issued to schools on 16 December; check the exact arrangements with your DP coordinator.
May 2026 in the Middle EastThe IB said most May 2026 exams in the region were expected to proceed, that decisions were made by national or local authorities, and that its Non-Exam Contingency Measure could be applied as a last resort. The IB did not publish country-level detail, so ask your school what applied.

Where do students in Qatar sit IB exams?

There is no private-candidate route to the IB Diploma. Students must be registered by an IB World School for each exam session, and registration is handled by the school's DP coordinator.

Students who want to retake a subject can do so in a later session at any IB World School that offers the Diploma, but the IB says schools are under no obligation to accept retake candidates. Speak to your own school's DP coordinator first.

Use the IB's 'find an IB World School' directory to confirm which programmes a school in Qatar is authorised to teach.

How many IB schools are there in Qatar?

According to the IB's country page for Qatar, checked on 21 October 2026, 21 IB World Schools in Qatar offer one or more IB programmes. The Diploma Programme is offered by 17 of them, the Primary Years Programme by 14, the Middle Years Programme by 13 and the Career-related Programme by 3. There has been an IB World School in Qatar since 2002.

Each school sets its own internal deadlines, mock exams and subject offer, so we build a student's tutoring plan around their school's IA deadlines and mock dates, not a generic calendar.

Can you help with IB internal assessments and the Extended Essay?

Yes. Tutors help students understand the assessment criteria, choose a workable research question, plan their method and improve their own drafts. Under the IB's academic integrity rules the work must be the student's own, so we guide and give feedback but never write any part of an IA or Extended Essay.

Which IB subjects do we teach students in Qatar?

Each subject page lists the syllabus codes, papers and topics we cover.
