Qatar Academy Al Khor was founded in 2008. It is situated in the coastal city of Al Khor, approximately 50 kilometers north of the capital city of Doha. The school serves students from the age of 3 to 18 (EEC-grade 12) meeting the educational needs of the rapidly growing community of Al Khor. Our student population is predominantly comprised of students from the local and regional communities. However, the QAK teaching staff are drawn from diverse backgrounds and multiple nationalities to facilitate our international approach. Students are placed in mixed-gender classrooms in Primary (EEC-grade 5), in gender segregated classrooms in Middle Years (grades 6-10) and mixed gender classrooms again for the Diploma Program (grades 11-12). QAK is a full IB World School, offering three IB programs (PYP, MYP, and DP).

I have been a school-level user of Schrole for recruiting for the last three hiring cycles and have found the platform they provide to be intuitive and comprehensive. The user interface stands out from others in the market as a crisp interface with the right level of features included at the right places. For me, the top two features are the ability to create school-specific application questions for applicants, and the availability of a short and long form applicant documentation PDF. If you’re looking for a recruiting platform, I highly recommend considering Schrole.
