Qatar Academy for Science and Technology

About this Organisation

Qatar Academy for Science and Technology (QAST) is a high school designed to develop Qatar’s next generation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) innovators.

QAST is designed for both boys and girls, with co-gendered classrooms. We accept academically talented students from across Qatar. Currently, about half of our students are Qatari nationals and the other half are expatriates from the region.

From the very first day of school, our students learn about and participate in activities and research designed to help solve some of Qatar’s Grand Challenges.

At QAST, our students develop the academic and practical hands-on skills needed to conduct scientific research projects. With data in hand, they then create innovative solutions using an impressive range of tools such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and numerous other fabrication methods.

In order to help solve these problems, QAST students take demanding Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses. With this knowledge, they master critical hands-on and 21st Century skills necessary to apply their knowledge to real solutions.
