Introduction

Qatar Leadership Academy is a boys’ residential school in Al Mazroua, Umm Salal Ali, north of Doha. Opened in 2005, it is part of Qatar Foundation’s Pre-University Education network and focuses on educating young men through academics, leadership, athletics and character development. The academy serves students aged 11 to 18 and offers a US Diploma pathway in the senior years. Its campus is located at Miqdam Camp, beside the National Service Academy, which supports the school’s leadership and cadet-style identity. Qatar Foundation describes QLA as a residential school, so boarding is a core part of the student experience. The academy’s stated mission is to promote personal growth in young men through academic study, leadership training, athletics and character education. For families looking for a boys-only school in Qatar, QLA is distinctive because it combines secondary education with residential life and a structured leadership-focused environment.
