These activities provide students with opportunities to explore their interests and passions and develop leadership and teamwork skills essential for success in the real world.
The Northview Experience encompasses all aspects of school life outside of the classroom.
Ranging from a broad and diverse offering of the co-curricular activities to sporting, musical and drama academies. Including Fine Arts and Digital Tech the Northview experience programme will allow children the opportunity to flourish and discover their passions.
At Northview we believe that learning should continue outside the classroom and is key to the whole development of the child’s character and readiness for life after school, whether they are in there Pre-KG or in Grade 12.
We do not consider these classes to be extra-curricular but in fact co-curricular and a key component of the learning in our school. Furthermore, these activities are an integral part of developing our children’s problem-solving skills as well as the ability to work as part of a team.
The Northview Experience also focuses on Northview families and the wider communities in which the schools are located. Utilising our world-class facilities, The Experience will provide opportunities for all to enjoy and have access to the Northview school campus. Our campus is your campus and facilities will be available for rent for our local community. Classes will also be offered to parents and locals alike during and after school hours of course when they are not in use for our students.
The Artemis Experience will work closely with the Artemis Promise to provide children the opportunity to experience outreach projects and further fulfil their potential as responsible Global Citizens.
Artemex Academies
Artemex academies are created to support and enhance the Artemex Experience for our students, their families, the communities in which we live and those in which we do not. Our world class academies provide opportunities for all to develop and improve their range of skills.

My experience in teaching began 15 years ago in the UK, where I started as a teaching assistant supporting children and young adults with autism. It was a role that was incredibly rewarding, but ultimately, my goal was to be a class teacher. After qualifying, I worked in various schools in the UK before moving to Qatar in 2017, a move which is the best decision I have made. I have loved learning about the local culture here and teaching in an international environment, allowing me to interact with children and adults worldwide.
Joining the team at Northview has been the most exciting move in my career, as we have been able to design a curriculum and ethos that places the children’s holistic development at the heart of everything we do. We want to support our pupils to grow academically and, at the same time, grow into friendly, responsible people with the necessary skills to succeed.
I strongly believe in promoting a healthy lifestyle; therefore, in my spare time, I often compete in many of the organized 10k or 21k races around Qatar. The positive effects, both physically and mentally, are fantastic. I am also a keen cook and find preparing and cooking meals from scratch incredibly therapeutic.
I cannot wait to begin welcoming children and families through the door at Northview and seeing the difference we will make in our pupils’ lives.
Come to Northview and see for yourself how we are making a difference.

Head of Lower School
Barie brings over 18 years of experience in education, demonstrating a profound dedication to nurturing and inspiring young learners. Her career has spanned continents and curricula, reflecting her commitment to fostering global perspectives and inclusive learning environments.
Barie’s educational journey began in the USA, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education and a Master’s in Early Childhood Education. Her passion for teaching led her to Germany, where she worked at a private bilingual school for three years. In 2010, Barie moved to Qatar, where she has since made a significant impact on the educational landscape.
Before joining Northview, Barie served as the Early Childhood and Lower Elementary principal at Vision International School in Al Wakrah for eight years. Her leadership and expertise were instrumental in creating a vibrant and supportive learning community for young students.
Barie’s extensive experience with various curricula, including the IB, Common Core, Creative Curriculum, and the British National Curriculum, equips her with a deep understanding of effective teaching and learning practices. Her passion for the arts, particularly her enjoyment of playing the flute in the Doha Community Orchestra, adds a cultural dimension to her teaching approach.
Barie’s diverse experiences have shaped her approach to creating inclusive, engaging, and innovative learning environments. She is deeply committed to fostering a sense of belonging and empowering every student to reach their full potential. Her dedication to student empowerment reassures us of her ability to lead and inspire. We are excited to have Barie join the Northview community and look forward to her valuable contributions to our students’ growth and success.
Welcome to our website. As the principal, I am excited to share my international experience spanning over 24 years in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Qatar. Previously, I worked for Al Khor International School (8 years) and Al Jazeera Academy (4 years) in Qatar. With this experience, I am confident that I can bring the kind of management and leadership to Northview International School that will make it known throughout the region as a school of choice.
I am committed to fostering an environment that not only encourages academic achievement but also promotes the overall development of our students, preparing them for a globalized world. I plan to build on the existing strengths of our school while introducing new initiatives to ensure we continue evolving as a leading educational institution. As a father of a teenage daughter, I understand parents’ anxieties and aspirations when it comes to choosing a school for their children. Ensuring a safe, nurturing, yet challenging environment that cultivates a love for learning is crucial.
I have had the unique position of seeing a school built from scratch and have worked with the construction team from ground zero. I have seen the eventual rising of the beautiful school building we have today and have been able to handpick excellent teachers who are dedicated to our student’s success.
I invite you to come to Northview International School and see how we are making a difference. Thank you for visiting our website, and we look forward to welcoming you to our community.
