PHILIPPINE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL-QATAR

PRIMARY DEPARTMENT

WELCOME MESSAGE

A warm greetings to everyone!

I am delighted to welcome you all to Philippine International School-Qatar for the school year 2020–2021.

The Primary Department offers basic quality education to both Filipino and non–Filipino learners. It is designed to provide learners with rudimentary skills in reading, writing, and numeracy. At an early age, we develop good values and essential skills to nurture the child in all dimensions of her/his life – spiritual, moral, physical, social, academic, and emotional, as wells as love and care to oneself and others regardless of culture and race.  We encouraged them to actively engage in the learning process for them to be able to realize their potentials and to prepare them to be academically-ready to adapt to the rapid changes in the society.

I hope and pray that with the help of dedicated teachers and supportive parents, and with the collaboration of the school administration and PTA officials, we will have a productive school year ahead.
