All praise be to Allah; peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad, the most noble of the prophets and the teacher of mankind, and upon his family and companions.

In line with the aspiration of His Highness Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, Emir of Qatar, may Allah protect him, supporting the education sector, pooling efforts and investing in human potential in order to push education forward by developing and enhancing the level and competence of educational institutions, we resolve tocope with the challenges and work on improving the curricula and learning processes to upgrade them to the standards reached in developed countries.

Therefore, success and achievements can only result from collective work between different directorates (Academic Affairs, Administrative Affairs and Student Affairs) in order tolearn the relevant lessons. Here we are bidding an academic year farewell and welcoming another one, hoping to deliver successful achievements and use them as a bridge for new future accomplishments to be reached through the efforts of all members of the Academy. Today, we turn a new page of our academic life, which has been full of excellent performance so as to serve our beloved country. Together we work on improving and developing the academic process to remedy mistakes, eradicate drawbacks and set crystal clear goals with a view toraising thestandard of this distinguished institution that embraces our children. We truly hope that Qatar Leadership Academy, member of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, would becomeone of the best and leading institutions. I would also like to thank all those who participated in bringing the educational and learning process to success in this institution, including teachers, administrative staff, parents and students. I hope you all exert every possible effort to make the next academic year full of success and distinction.
