From 9 February to 15 February 2024, groups of ISL Qatar students embarked on various journeys that enhanced their understanding about cultures, collaboration, languages, sustainability and service.
This year’s Week Without Walls program (WWW) was a wonderful opportunity for our students to have learning experiences beyond the normal classroom setting, whether here in Qatar, or to an international destination. Our WWW program is a required, highly valued part of our learning program at ISL which provides opportunities for the development of essential skills and life experiences.
