OA Conference Doha 2017

International admissions during politically uncertain times is not just about giving up or filling up empty seats with additional local students who merely increase school numbers, it is about offering a convenient and expeditious application process where expat families who work for embassies, NGOs, relief organizations and multinational companies can find a friendly and reassuring ear to listen to their worries, needs and limitations when searching for a suitable international school.

By being creative, open-minded and somewhat of a risk taker, even in a volatile region of the world where refugees have spilled out of their countries and peace seems impossible, use each “expat” inquiry as an opportunity to promote your school’s secure campuses, private settings, small class numbers, unique academic features and a convenient application process to attract international families and their employers.
