Where every child feels valued, supported and empowered to grow


Our newly-opened Al Waha campus situated in the Al Hamra region of Riyadh is a vibrant educational community offering state-of-the-art facilities.

We are, of course, immensely proud of the size of the campus and the amenities Al Waha has to offer, but our main focus is on ensuring a nurturing environment where every member of our community is valued for what they bring.

INSPIRING SPACES FOR LEARNING, CREATIVITY & COMMUNITY

Alongside the finest curriculum underpinned by excellent resources and facilities, we leverage networks and connections both within the region and internationally to provide our students with a wide range of intercultural, sporting, artistic and STEAM-related opportunities. Our goal is to prepare all our children and young people to take their place on an ever changing world stage.

IT’S ALL ABOUT TEAMWORK AND A SENSE OF BELONGING

Being part of a sports team not only cultivates a strong sense of belonging. It also provides a fantastic and natural way for children to forge lasting friendships through shared experiences and teamwork.

 

THE BEST CHOICE FOR THE BRIGHTEST FUTURE

We offer you the reassurance that, despite the size of the school, at the heart of all that we do is knowing and caring for the students within our community. Our welcoming environment can be described as a small school feel in a large school setting. We understand that, as parents, your priority is not only good academic results, but also your child’s happiness.

As a community, we come together for events regularly over the course of the school year, creating that warm buzz of connection between students, staff and families.
