We’re celebrating eight years of digital excellence! SEK International School Qatar is proud to once again be recognized as a Microsoft Showcase School, a global distinction that puts us among a select group of schools leading the way in innovation, collaboration, and future-focused learning.

But that’s not all. This recognition also comes with a standing ovation for our incredible staff, several of whom have been named Microsoft Innovative Educator Experts (MIE Experts). 👏💡

What does this mean? It means our students aren’t just using technology—they’re learning with it, creating through it, and solving real-world challenges because of it. Our MIE Experts are transforming classrooms into hubs of creativity and global connection, aligned with the IB Learner Profile values of being knowledgeable, open-minded, and reflective.

From digital storytelling in the PYP, to tech-driven inquiry in the MYP, to data analysis and global collaboration in the DP—technology is part of how we think, learn, and lead.

We’re proud of our staff, grateful to our families, and inspired by our students. Together, we’re not just preparing for the future—we’re helping shape it.

We’re excited to kick off a new school year with the launch of the SEK-Qatar Radio Station, a space for student voice, creativity, and storytelling.

Our first podcast episode of the year celebrates Dot Day, a school-wide event where students explored the power of creativity and self-expression. Inspired by the beloved book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, Dot Day encourages every learner to “make their mark” and at SEK-Qatar, that message resonates far beyond the art classroom.

In this episode, we speak with Ms. Vicki, who reflects on the importance of creative confidence and how Dot Day empowers students to take risks, express themselves, and celebrate each other’s uniqueness.

💬 “It’s about more than just art, it’s about giving students the confidence to try, to explore, and to grow,” says Ms. Vicki.

🎧 Listen now to hear how Dot Day inspired our learners and stay tuned for more exciting episodes coming soon from SEK-Qatar Radio!

As part of her PYP Exhibition, Grade 5 student Jasmine explores an often-overlooked but critically important topic: medical waste. With curiosity and commitment, she dives into how improper management of medical waste can affect both our environment and our communities. Through her research and podcast series, Jasmine raises awareness and encourages responsible action. Here’s what she discovered:

Medical waste may not have a lot of recognition nor a topic that has been given thought to some, but if handled and managed poorly, it can affect you. Medical waste doesn’t just impact the environment massively, it also affects the community where medical waste is disposed of. There are six main types of medical waste, and though some of them, such as non-hazardous waste, may seem harmless, but they still require meticulous handling in order to prevent contamination. In my podcasts, you’ll learn about medical waste and it’s impact on the wellbeing of the community, impact on the environment, and what is medical waste as well as what defines it.
