ACS strategy introduces new career-ready education pathways for students in entrepreneurship and business, health and medical sciences, communications and media, and government and diplomacy, and creative technologies.
ACS International School Doha has announced a new five-year education strategy that builds on a unique educational approach to get its students ready to succeed in a complex world filled with both challenges and opportunities.
The strategy calls for a world-class education system that equips students to achieve their aspirations by becoming truly global thinkers. Driven by the rapid globalisation of societies and economies, international education has evolved quickly over the last twenty years.
The announcement was made at a recent media gathering at ACS Doha, featuring keynote speakers Dr Robert Harrison, ACS Education Strategy Director; Robert Cody, Head of School and Caroline Rennie, Deputy Head of School.
The event allowed attendees to learn more about ACS’s journey in Doha and the key learning concepts it brings to the nation’s educational sector.
Additionally, the ACS strategy introduces new career-ready education pathways for students in entrepreneurship and business, health and medical sciences, communications and media, and government and diplomacy, and creative technologies. These will be built through lasting relationships with leading educational, cultural and industry leaders in Qatar, as well as friends of ACS around the world.
The pathways will inspire students to connect, explore and develop their own interests. ACS promotes personal and academic challenge through service learning, workplace experience, co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Its internationally-recognised qualifications help students prepare for advanced post-secondary study and challenging careers.
“Teaching is ever changing, complex and essential. At ACS, we recognise our globalised world is always evolving and tailor our students’ experience to make them ready for tomorrow, today. Through some of the initiatives Dr Harrison mentions, through to the delivery of the first US College Board Advanced Placement programs in an authentically international context, we strive to develop civic engagement and community service that allows our students to become effective agents of change,” said Robert Cody, Head of School.
In August 2020, ACS Doha will move to a new state-of-the-art, purpose-built campus, with open, light-filled spaces to inspire exploration, innovation and collaboration for more than 2,000 students. Like ACS’s three UK campuses near London, the new school in Doha will embody the group’s longstanding values and its consistent educational vision.
