Qatar is growing by leaps and bounds and so is this group. Many families are turning to homeschooling as an interim until seats are available in schools. Information about home schooling, how to get started, and curriculum suggestions are available along with friendship and understanding.
So you’ve looked around and like what you see. How do I join and what are the requirements?
There are several ways to participate in our group.
Email only – Our Big Tent email group.
Participate in Reach a subgroup of DHE that was created to meet the needs of long term homeschooling families. This group is open to anyone after they have participated in an event. When you attend the event, take the opportunity to meet at least two new faces. You will need that information to apply. The moderators participate in most activities so we will have an opportunity to meet you there.
We are having fun and want to help out. Ask one of our DHE Team to learn more.
Requirements:
- You must be a home schooler of at least 1 child
- You must be living in Doha*
- Be willing to share information about you and your family on a membership application
If you meet these requirements, we invite you to go to http://www.bigtent.com/groups/dohahomeed You will see the sign in box on your right.
Please fill out the application completely. This information is required for approval. We look forward to meeting you soon.
Cheers!

I tried to sign up for the guest membership as we are moving to Doha in August but it wouldn’t let me – it said my child was not primary age, but never asked me anything about my child. Anyway, we are from New Zealand, and have a nine year old who has been homeschooled for the last three years and will continue to be homeschooled in Doha. What do I need to do to get the guest membership?
Thanks, Carole
Hi there, we have now arrived in Doha but don’t yet have internet etc. I can’t find my password to update my membership. My cell number is 66238490. I am living at Building 8, Street 810, Zone 52, Area: Luqta. I need some help updating my membership
Thanks
Carole
Hi Carole

Hello there
We will be moving to Doha in this coming November 2011. I have two children age 7 and 4. I never imagined that schooling would be a problem but I have been callng up all kinds of schools and seems that getting into any for this year might be impossible. So I am seriously considering homeschooling and it came to my suprise that I am not alone. I need lots and lots of information and help though, as I do not intend to home shcool my children forever, just until they are able to get into a proper school which might mean next year. My biggest question would be, do schools accept children coming from a home schooling enviroment?
please I need someone to talk to if anyone could help. thank you so much
Regards
Ghada

Hi I’m Isabel, mother of 3 school age girls 2 in preschool and 1 in grade 3. My girls are still in school but I am seriously considering homeschooling as I can’t seem to find a good school in Doha which we can afford. I would really appreciate if I can learn more about homeschooling through this group. Please let me know if I can join the group. Thank you.
