Doha, Qatar - The Cardiff Indian School has opened its doors in Al Khor, fulfilling a decades-old aspiration of the local Indian community. The institution, led by Chairman Dr. Hamad Al Kaabi and Principal Dr. Maneesh Mangal, offers a comprehensive education from kindergarten through grade 12, adhering to the CBSE curriculum.
Dr. Al Kaabi articulated that the school transcends the role of an academic institution, aiming to foster a community where knowledge, innovation, values, creativity, leadership, and practical skills coalesce. It marks the third educational venture by Dr. Al Kaabi in Qatar, following the British-curriculum Cardiff International School and a dedicated Kindergarten.
The establishment was spurred by the prolonged need of an Indian school in Al Khor, according to Dr. Al Kaabi. The school promises a modern learning environment, complete with science and robotics laboratories, astronomy facilities, libraries, art, music, dance spaces, a swimming pool, multipurpose auditorium, and indoor play areas.
The school places a strong emphasis on student-centered learning, encouraging exploration, experimentation, creation, collaboration, and the development of critical thinking, communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills. Beyond academics, students will engage in sports, arts, technology, practical learning, clubs, cultural activities, and experiential programs.
Dr. Maneesh Mangal, Principal of the school, emphasized that education today must equip children not just for examinations, but for an increasingly complex world. The aim is to raise confident, adaptable, responsible, and lifelong learners ready to contribute to Qatar and the global community.
The opening of the Cardiff Indian School is a significant milestone for the Indian community in Al Khor, heralding a new chapter in the educational landscape of the region. The management expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in Qatar, and the Embassy of India in Qatar for their crucial support in bringing this vision to life.
