Hi,

My husband is negotiating a potential position in Qatar. We are currently living in Canada. I have 3 boys, the oldest being 14 (nearly 15). My concerns are mostly about quality of life for kids, especially teens. Do they adjust well socially? How do schools compare on secondary level? Which schools should I put at the top of my list when taking school fees into consideration when negotiating (I negotiate with hubs, he negotiates with potential employer - it's a complicated affair lol!).
I lived in the UAE a number of years ago so I have some frame of reference when relocating. I know finding schooling there was a nightmare, especially trying to balance finding a family friendly compound and a school that were not on opposite sides of the city. Am I looking at a similar situation in Qatar?
Are there a choice of extra-curricular activities to keep the boys busy? Do teens find life in Qatar restrictive?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!
