Reflecting on his time at ACS Doha, Iman, a student from the Class of 2021, said: “I am forever thankful for the immense effort my teachers put in to help me reach my goals. Whenever I found myself stuck with an assignment or topic, I never hesitated to reach out to my teachers, who were always there to give me the best advice and assistance.”
