Our school caters for children from years K-13 and has in excess of 1300 students from over 60 countries. We are accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).

Admissions Details

As the school is a designated British Community School authorized by the Saudi Ministry of Education, priority for admissions is given to British passport holders. However, the school also welcomes applications from non-British families. Placement in classes is based on a cut-off date of 31st August and allocation to a particular class or year group can only be authorised by the Director and/or Head of School.

It is vital before applying for admission for their children that parents read, understand and are supportive of the school’s mission, philosophy, objectives and acceptance of the school’s policies. These statements underpin all that goes on in the school and are a clear indication to parents as to our approach to education.
