Learning Formats & Pricing

How Virtual Schooling Actually Works

Most parents picture online learning as a child clicking through random videos with nobody checking in. Legacy is built on the opposite idea, with structure and accountability at the center.

 

Lessons are scheduled, assignments are graded, and qualified US teachers are reachable when your child needs help. You see grades and attendance in real time, and your child grows through clubs and competitions, not just classes. It feels like school because it is school.

 

Structured Curriculum

Live and recorded lessons, weekly assignments, and graded exams keep learning organized from start to finish.

Qualified US Teachers

Available by messaging, email, and live sessions, so your child always has a real teacher to turn to.

Real-Time Progress Tracking

Parents see grades, attendance, and milestones as they happen.

Extracurriculars

Student clubs, academic competitions, and virtual events bring friendships and passions beyond the classroom.

The American School That Travels With Your Family

For most expat families in the UAE, the real worry isn’t “finding a good school.” It’s something heavier. Don’t lose a year, don’t pay $30K, don’t make your child start over just because you moved countries.

 

Legacy is built around that exact problem. It isn’t “pick a new school.” It’s keep the one that already works, wherever life takes you next.

 

Recognized Worldwide

WASC-accredited and accepted across the US and by universities worldwide, so your child’s credits move with you.

Flexible Learning Formats

Pick live small-group classes, one-on-one lessons, or a self-paced track, all leading to the same accredited diploma.

Fast Enrollment

No paperwork, no proof of address, no waitlist, just submit an ID and start classes within two days.

Set the Stage for Your Child’s Future Success! Enroll Now

An international school used to mean a physical building in an expat neighborhood. Now it can mean a WASC-accredited program delivered live online, connecting your child in Doha with qualified teachers and classmates in Madrid, Singapore, Houston. The building disappeared. The school didn’t.

We are a US-accredited international online school that coexists with local schooling. Families are responsible for ensuring compliance with any local education requirements applicable to their situation. Here’s what an accredited online school looks like when it’s built for international students across 30+ countries.

 

What Makes Legacy an International Online School

Legacy serves families globally – expats in Qatar, UAE, Germany, digital nomads, military families, anyone whose life doesn’t fit a fixed school calendar or location. The international online school model works because the school follows the student, not the other way around.

WASC-accredited. College Board-affiliated. Grades K-12. Live online classes capped at 15 students. Self-paced courses for learners who need flexibility. 19 AP courses. Dual enrollment with Arizona State University and University of South Florida. Virtual clubs, school events, a global community that doesn’t rely on proximity.

This is the American curriculum delivered internationally. Not Cambridge IGCSE. Not IB. The US K-12 framework through Florida Virtual School (FlexPoint Education Cloud), leading to a WASC-accredited American high school diploma.

 

Choosing an Online School: What to Look For

Families in Qatar weigh their options every year. British curriculum schools. CBSE schools. IB programs. American schools. Each ends in a different credential – IGCSE and A-Levels, CBSE board exams, IB Diploma, or an American high school diploma with AP credits.

The right online school depends on where your child plans to apply. A student aiming at US universities benefits from AP credits and a WASC-accredited transcript. A student aiming at UK universities can still use AP scores at most institutions. A student targeting universities in Qatar or the wider region should verify each institution’s admissions standards.

What separates accredited online schools from unaccredited programs is the credential at the end. Legacy’s diploma is recognized globally because WASC accreditation travels. The transcript is QR-verifiable. Any university registrar can scan it and confirm authenticity in seconds.

 

School Programs: K-12, Part-Time, AP, and More

Not every family needs full K-12 enrollment. Many expat families in Qatar use Legacy for specific gaps their local school doesn’t fill.

Part-time K-12 – your child stays enrolled in their Doha school and takes one or two Legacy subjects alongside. English language arts. Math at a level ahead. Science.

Summer School – catch up, get ahead, or take a course the local school doesn’t offer. Runs June through August. Credits transfer.

AP courses – 19 AP courses approved by the College Board. Students in Doha can take AP Calculus, AP Biology, AP English Language in parallel with their British or IB program. The AP scores sit on a US transcript that universities worldwide recognize.

College Guidance – from Grade 10, students work with advisors on target lists, essays, test strategy, AP planning, financial aid, recommendation letters. The advisor knows what US, UK, and Canadian universities expect.

One-on-one tutoring – for learners who need extra support in specific subjects or prefer a tutorial setup.

Full K-12 is available too. Many expat families in Qatar use Legacy as their primary educational provider alongside whatever local arrangements their visa requires. Requirements vary by visa type and residency status – verify with MOEHE.

 

Live Online Classes and Self-Paced Learning

Two modes, equally valid. Live Group classes run at scheduled times with up to 15 students and a qualified teacher. Everyone’s camera on, everyone gets called on. Self-paced courses let the learner work through the same accredited curriculum at their own tempo – finish a unit in three days or spread it across two weeks.

Some students thrive in the structure of live online learning. Some learn better when they can pause, rewind, replay a lesson three times. Some use a mix – live for math and science, self-paced for social studies.

Both modes lead to the same WASC-accredited transcript. The learning plan adjusts to the child’s unique learning style, not the other way around.

 

International Students: Enrollment and Tuition

Enrollment is open year-round to international students in grades K-12. The admissions process: a conversation with the team, recent school records, an English-proficiency check for older learners whose first language isn’t English. Credit transfer from other schools is assessed course by course. Homeschoolers are welcome.

Tuition fee varies by grade level and program – full K-12, part-time, AP only, Summer School.

No visa required to study with Legacy. Students can enroll from anywhere in the world. The school follows the student.

 

Comparing International School Options in Qatar

Families in Doha have more international school options than most cities. British schools focus on Cambridge IGCSE and A-Levels. CBSE schools serve the Indian community. American schools follow US curriculum. IB schools offer the International Baccalaureate.

Legacy is the American pathway delivered online. Same WASC accreditation as leading US schools. Same College Board affiliation. Same AP courses. Different format.

A few things set accredited online international schools apart from traditional schools in Doha:

Flexibility. Your family travels for work. Your child trains competitively in a sport. You move between Doha and another country mid-year. The school adapts.

Class size. Fifteen students per live group. At a physical school in Doha, class sizes often hit 25-30.

Global exposure. Your child’s classmates aren’t just from Qatar. They’re from Germany, Spain, Singapore, Canada, the US. That’s the global community Legacy builds.

Cost. Tuition at international brick-and-mortar schools in Doha runs $15,000-$30,000 per year. Legacy’s tuition varies by plan, but it’s often lower for comparable programs.

The trade-off: no physical campus. No in-person playground. For some families that’s a dealbreaker. For others it’s freedom.

 

Why Families in Qatar Choose Legacy

A pattern emerges when you talk to expat families in Doha who use Legacy. They didn’t start looking for an online school. They started with a problem the local school couldn’t solve.

 

A Grade 10 student who wants AP Calculus BC, but the British school only offers A-Level Maths. A family moving between Qatar and Canada mid-year. A competitive tennis player whose training schedule doesn’t fit a 7:30-3:00 school day. A child with anxiety who struggles in large classrooms but thrives in small groups. Legacy solves different problems for different families. The common thread: WASC accreditation means the credits transfer. The transcript travels. When the family moves again – and expat families do move – the schooling experience documented at Legacy is recognized wherever they land.

 

The Path from K-12 to Universities Worldwide

Legacy students graduate and go on to colleges and universities in the US, UK, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East. The school profile page lists recent acceptances – universities recognize the WASC credential.

The high school program builds toward that from Grade 9. College-prep track. AP courses starting Grade 10. Dual enrollment for students who want to earn university credits early. College guidance through the application process, including test strategy (SAT, ACT, or test-optional). Recommendation letters from teachers who’ve worked with the student for years, not just one semester.

By the time a Legacy student applies to university, the transcript tells a story. WASC-accredited diploma. AP scores. Dual enrollment credits. Extracurricular activities through virtual clubs. The whole schooling experience documented and verified.

We are a US-accredited international online school that coexists with local schooling. Families are responsible for ensuring compliance with any local education requirements applicable to their situation.

Legacy Online School is an internationally accredited online school (WASC + College Board). Our programs are designed as supplementary and advanced education alongside a student’s primary school enrollment. In some countries, families may use Legacy as their primary educational provider through legal pathways such as international online schooling. Laws on compulsory education and homeschooling vary significantly by country and region. Families are solely responsible for verifying the legal status of online education in their country and region of residence, and for ensuring compliance with applicable compulsory education requirements. Legacy Online School does not provide legal, immigration, or tax advice.
