School Overview
• Hayat Universal School (HUBS) Qatar is a BC Certified Offshore School (fully
accredited by the BC Ministry of Education). This is the link to the BC Certified Offshore
Schools:

The Ministry thoroughly inspects our school every year. For example, inspectors look into
BC program year plans, instructional time, instructional methods, admission system,
integrity of promotion and registration process, support services, school policies, safety
and supervision plans, student and staff records, teacher and principal certification and
hiring practices, learning resources, facilities and school licensing.
• Canadian teachers deliver the BC program and the Principal is a BC educator.
• To graduate, students will have to successfully complete the BC graduation program in
English to receive the BC Certificate of Graduation (Dogwood Diploma).
• The main program is the BC program with the majority of the instructional time
dedicated for this program (80percent in K2 and 74percent starting Gr 1). A national
Arabic Program is implemented alongside the BC program.
• The school started in 2009-2010 with K1 - Gr 3 and has been adding a grade every year
with the movement of students to higher grades. It will be offering up to Gr 9 in 2015-
2016. The purpose of this approach is to make the lower grades the main point of entry to
the school.
• The PreK and K1 program, where English is the main language of instruction, prepares
students for the BC Program.
• From 190 students in its first year (2009-2010), the school has grown to 1110 students
in 2014-2015, with 900 enrolled in the BC Program, which starts at K2.

and educator in the Middle East. Parents, teachers and BC inspectors sense the
community that prevails in the school.
