Ellesmere College International is delighted to announce a landmark partnership agreement with the Education Avenue Group to establish Ellesmere College Doha, set to open in 2025. This collaboration marks a significant step in delivering world-class education and fostering academic excellence on an international scale.

The agreement, finalised with the invaluable support of the British Ambassador Neerav Patel and his dedicated team at the Embassy, underscores the commitment of both parties to create transformative educational opportunities. The partnership aims to leverage the expertise of Ellesmere College International in innovative academic programming and the Education Avenue Group’s industry leadership to create an institution that meets the demands of the global education landscape.

“This partnership represents a pivotal moment for Ellesmere College International as we expand our footprint and bring our vision of holistic and cutting-edge education to new horizons,” said Nick Pettingale, Director of International Development at Ellesmere College International. “We are deeply grateful to Ambassador Neerav Patel and the Embassy team for their unwavering support, which has been instrumental in bringing this initiative to fruition.”

The Chair of the Education Avenue Group echoed these sentiments, stating, “Our collaboration with Ellesmere College International aligns perfectly with our mission to drive innovation and excellence in education. Ellesmere College Doha will be a beacon of learning, preparing students for global challenges and opportunities.”

Ambassador Patel also shared his thoughts on the occasion: “The Embassy is proud to support this initiative, which will strengthen educational ties and contribute to the growth of knowledge-sharing between nations. The opening of Ellesmere College Doha is a testament to the power of partnerships in shaping a brighter future.”

Set to open its doors to its first pupils in September 2025, Ellesmere College Doha will offer a diverse range of programs designed to cultivate critical thinking, creativity, and leadership among students from around the world. With state-of-the-art facilities and an inclusive ethos, the College promises to be a vibrant hub of learning and collaboration.

After the recent State Visit to the UK by The Emir of Qatar it seems fitting and right that another strong partnership, based on the long friendship between our two countries should be focused on enhancing the quality education in Qatar with a great school like Ellesmere which was established in 1884.

We look forward to welcoming our first students in September 2025.
