Experience the vibrant cultural tapestry of Northview International's recent Iftar event. Discover the beauty of diversity and togetherness
An extraordinary event was underway this week at Northview International School in Doha. The air was charged with anticipation and excitement as the school prepared for its annual Science Week.
Science, an essential subject in the American curriculum, plays an integral role in shaping young minds. It fosters curiosity, encourages critical thinking, and cultivates an understanding of the world around us. Students get to explore various disciplines such as biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science, sparking their interests and igniting their passion for learning. For one week each year, the corridors of Northview International buzz with an energy that goes above and beyond the usual school day hustle. The reason for this heightened excitement? The arrival of the school’s eagerly anticipated Science Week.
Themed “Science & Sustainability,” Science Week at Northview International School celebrated science beyond the traditional classroom experience. It was an interactive space for students and teachers to explore, discover, and innovate. One of the critical features of Science Week was the interactive workshops. These sessions allowed students to dive deep into various scientific concepts, engage in hands-on experiments, and witness the wonders of science in action. Another highlight of the week was the inspiring experiments. These activities were designed to ignite a passion for science in students of all ages. By participating in these experiments, students could apply their classroom knowledge in real-world scenarios, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of science.
The American curriculum at our school follows the educational model used in most schools across the United States. This internationally recognized curriculum offers a comprehensive approach to education, focusing on the child’s overall development.
The curriculum is divided into several stages:
Upon graduation, students receive a diploma or certificate globally recognized by colleges and universities.

My experience in teaching began 15 years ago in the UK, where I started as a teaching assistant supporting children and young adults with autism. It was a role that was incredibly rewarding, but ultimately, my goal was to be a class teacher. After qualifying, I worked in various schools in the UK before moving to Qatar in 2017, a move which is the best decision I have made. I have loved learning about the local culture here and teaching in an international environment, allowing me to interact with children and adults worldwide.
Joining the team at Northview has been the most exciting move in my career, as we have been able to design a curriculum and ethos that places the children’s holistic development at the heart of everything we do. We want to support our pupils to grow academically and, at the same time, grow into friendly, responsible people with the necessary skills to succeed.
I strongly believe in promoting a healthy lifestyle; therefore, in my spare time, I often compete in many of the organized 10k or 21k races around Qatar. The positive effects, both physically and mentally, are fantastic. I am also a keen cook and find preparing and cooking meals from scratch incredibly therapeutic.
I cannot wait to begin welcoming children and families through the door at Northview and seeing the difference we will make in our pupils’ lives.
Come to Northview and see for yourself how we are making a difference.

Deputy Head of Kindergarten & Lower Elementary
My name is Miss Kelbie, and I am the Deputy Headteacher of Kindergarten and Lower Elementary. I have worked in British primary schools since 2010, first as an HLTA and then as a teacher, moving to Qatar three years ago.
I have a (BA) degree in Early Childhood Studies focusing on young children’s growth and cognitive, social, and emotional development, alongside a PCGE in Lower Primary Teaching. More recently, a National Professional Qualification in Senior Leadership (NPQSL).
My specialisms include advocacy for learning through play, inquiry-led learning, and outdoor education. I am also a UK-trained Forest School practitioner. I value the Reggio Emilia approach to early education, which nicely aligns with our Northview values.
I feel very fortunate to embark on this incredible adventure as a founding leader of Northview International. I am thrilled to be part of a school with such a unique vision and is committed to excellence in children’s learning and development.
In my spare time, you will find me planning trips with my two children (or just one), cooking, or reading books on the beach!
Welcome to our website. As the principal, I am excited to share my international experience spanning over 24 years in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Qatar. Previously, I worked for Al Khor International School (8 years) and Al Jazeera Academy (4 years) in Qatar. With this experience, I am confident that I can bring the kind of management and leadership to Northview International School that will make it known throughout the region as a school of choice.
I am committed to fostering an environment that not only encourages academic achievement but also promotes the overall development of our students, preparing them for a globalized world. I plan to build on the existing strengths of our school while introducing new initiatives to ensure we continue evolving as a leading educational institution. As a father of a teenage daughter, I understand parents’ anxieties and aspirations when it comes to choosing a school for their children. Ensuring a safe, nurturing, yet challenging environment that cultivates a love for learning is crucial.
I have had the unique position of seeing a school built from scratch and have worked with the construction team from ground zero. I have seen the eventual rising of the beautiful school building we have today and have been able to handpick excellent teachers who are dedicated to our student’s success.
I invite you to come to Northview International School and see how we are making a difference. Thank you for visiting our website, and we look forward to welcoming you to our community.
