Al Maha Academy for Girls delivers a UK National Curriculum–based education across the Infant, Primary, and Secondary levels, augmented by Arabic, Islamic Studies and Qatari History to reflect local heritage. The Infant School (Nursery and Reception) follows the Early Years Foundation Stage, emphasizes play-based learning, and develops communication, literacy, mathematics, understanding of the world, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, and expressive arts; Cambridge Baseline and end-of-year assessments track progress. In Key Stage 1, progress is monitored through internal assessments and End-of-Year GL Assessments in core subjects such as English, Mathematics and Science. The Secondary Curriculum is structured as Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9), Key Stage 4 (Years 10-11) and Sixth Form (Years 12-13), with Cambridge English Checkpoints at the end of Year 9 and IGCSE courses in Years 10-11 (Edexcel or Cambridge). Arabic, Islamic Studies and Social Studies follow Qatar national standards, with Qur'an study taught with Tajweed; the Sixth Form offers AS and A-Levels and university pathways. The program uses a dual-curriculum approach that combines rigorous academics with leadership development, mentorship, and opportunities for personal growth.

Social and emotional learning at Al Maha Academy for Girls is delivered through the Tarbeya Center, a values‑driven pastoral program that embeds Islamic identity, leadership development, and family/community involvement into daily school life.

Special Educational Needs (SEN) are supported by the Learning Support Department for mild to moderate needs through a system of referrals, assessments and curriculum adjustments, with access to resources such as Reading Recovery and Clicker7, and the program is described as inclusive rather than being a specialist SEN institution.

The school does not publicly disclose information about English as an Additional Language (EAL) provision in its public materials.

Mental wellbeing is supported by Tarbeya's values-based programs and pastoral activities, which emphasize belonging, community involvement and character development alongside the Learning Support Department's focus on self‑improvement skills.
