Campus Life

Where every child feels valued, supported and empowered to grow

Preparing our children for the ever changing world stage

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.

All Al Waha staff are dedicated to providing excellence in an ever-changing world, and encourage our students to grow academically, morally and emotionally.

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.

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.

A quick look at what Al Waha has to offer:
