Shantiniketan Indian School, Doha, State of Qatar

Shantiniketan Indian School, a K-12 educational institution of innovation and learning excellence, is committed to quality education that transforms children into excellent human beings and global citizens ready to become lifelong learners and take up the professional and leadership challenges of Qatar or of any other country of their choice where they wish to live. The name, Shantiniketan, is taken from the most famous School of RabindraNath Tagore, the poet, philosopher, educationist and Nobel laureate. It has a unique identity in the history of Indian education and we got inspiration from its schooling process. ‘Shanti', means peace and harmony and ‘Niketan', a place where nature showers blessings. We imbibe our educational goals from the word ‘Darussalam' where ‘Dar' signifies the House of perfection and ‘Salam' is the embodiment of divine solace and eternal Peace. Both concepts are synchronised in our schooling process, aim, culture and tradition. The goal of our educational process is underlined in the motto: ‘LIGHT TO ENLIGHTEN LEAD TO EMPOWER'
