The institution has lived up to its promise to focus on student learning in a multicultural environment. In line with this, the institution has attracted students from more than 70 countries ever since it was established in 1988. Furthermore, the advance placement program offered by the school sets it apart from all other international schools in Qatar. It is, therefore, necessary to provide a brief discussion of this program and how students have benefited.

The advanced placement program, AP, is a program in which college curricula are offered to students; the students are also examined on the AP courses that they take. The AP program is run by the College Board and schools in both the United States and Canada offer the program—though not all. The courses provided in the AP classes of the American school of Doha are standardized by the College Board and are roughly equivalent to undergraduate courses. Most importantly, the students are only required to take courses in specific subjects that are relevant to their careers.
Even though the AP classes are more challenging than normal classes, there are significant ways in which the students can benefit. One of this is that students develop the academic skills that are required in college. Ordinarily, the classes are particularly attractive to students who show a strong commitment to learning, but it has proven time and again to have positively impacted on students who are encouraged to participate.
Secondly, Colleges and other institutions of higher education give, sometimes give special recognition to students who had undergone AP programs in high school. This means that the chance of gaining admission to colleges is remarkably improved. Also, students who pass the AP exams usually earn college credits ahead of time. The significance of this is that these students, according to findings, graduate from college much earlier than their counterparts who did not take the program
But beyond the AP program, the American school of Doha boasts some of the best facilities in Qatar. The facilities are simply world class. On the other hand, the school integrates various aspects of learning: technology, music, art, physical education. A vast library and theater aptly send the message that the American school of Doha is the best school in Qatar.
