Curriculum

Blyth Academy Qatar is accredited by the Ministry of Education of Alberta, Canada and the Ministry of Education of the State of Qatar. BAQ follows the Alberta curriculum which is widely recognized and ranks amongst the top educational systems in the world. Students obtaining an Alberta Secondary School Diploma are accepted to universities and colleges across the world. [3]

Exams and tests

Students at BAQ must write Alberta Provincial Achievement Tests in grades 6 and 9 and Diploma exams in core subjects at the end of grade 12. Generally, BAQ students perform at, or above, provincial levels. In 2017-2018 all graduates were accepted into post-secondary programs. Every third year students write the PISA exam. Recent results in literacy ranked BAQ amongst the best schools in Qatar when compared to schools of similar size and composition.[3]

Student leadership

Student Council and Athletic council are the main source of student engagement in leadership. Students will not only plan activities for the school they will be consulted on many decisions made by the school administration. We are expecting a great deal from these students who represent their peers.
