Reviews & Information

Poor management with lack of experienced teachers

I am not sure about the 5-star reviews of this school. One of the reviews is from a teacher at the school. As a parent this year has been troubling to me. Three weeks in and though the issues from the previous 3 years were covid related. 2 of my children attend the school and am shocked at the lack of facilities (a gym renovated for 2 years), just lockers installed this year. I could go on but the more pressing issues is class sizes, lack of materials, and an no textbooks. This does not align with what I pay in fees.

As a long time student here at Blyth Academy I have seen the school go through some really good times and some really bad times. I have to be honest this year the school has made so many good changes. 99% of the teacher are very kind and welcoming. The school has still found a way to provide option classes even in the pandemic. We are getting a wide rang of options given to us. The only thing I would like to change is the music and drama classes. They are not very fun and I am not given many chances as I am not good at drama.. Over all great school!!!

Blyth Academy Qatar has just moved to a new campus allows them to better support the needs of my children. Covid 19 has challenged all the schools here in Qatar. The difference is that Blyth academy has found a way to thrive and provide my children with high standers of education. The new teaching staff are very passionate and working hard to support my children's learning. There options and extra circular are strong. I would never let my children take music/drama again the teacher is very negative and rude to all children. My male son often comes home feeling horrible about himself after her class. The art program is fantastic my daughter is loving the art teacher she has found a new passion for her art. The Science teachers are also extremely engaging and providing high level education.

Before this school, I have been to 4 schools, and I can assure you that no school in Qatar is better than this one. This school has some of the best thers I have met, ever. All my classmates in the school participate in class, are kind, are helpful, and are smart. The school building has recently moved to a building that is exactly next to the old one, and the new building is amazing. One complaint I have about Blyth Academy, however, is that grade 8 has way more work, tests, homework, and projects compared to grade 7. Compared to other schools, there isnt TOO much work, but still, the transition from grade 7 to grade 8 could've been smoother, and could've prepared us for the relatively large amount of work that is present in grade 8. Other thannthat, though. There are no complaints. Great school! 100% recommend it!!!

The school treats it's teachers terribly and they are mostly disgruntled because. In 2020 the turn-over of teachers was over 95%. They lost all their teachers, that tells you a lot. Cutting their pay, not enough staff for the courses, often students have no teacher for their subjects. The school only wants your money, education is not much of a thought from the admin or local partners. They take and take but when it comes to education for your child, it's the last priority. Send your precious children to a better place.

Great school, with great teachers and students. Unfortunately the management and administration have done a poor job with retaining these great teachers and honoring contracts.
