About international schools in Saudi Arabia
American-curriculum international schools in Saudi Arabia deliver US-style, English-medium programmes from early years through Grade 12 and commonly offer an American diploma pathway with Advanced Placement (AP) options or, at some schools, IB alternatives; they are concentrated in major centres such as Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province. The Saudi Ministry of Education requires international schools to include Ministry-approved Arabic, Saudi social-studies and Islamic-education content (especially for Saudi nationals), so most American schools combine English instruction with Arabic and national-curriculum subjects. Tuition varies widely by city, school type and grade - expect annual fees that can range from lower mid-market levels into the tens of thousands of Saudi riyals and, at premium international campuses, above SAR 100,000 a year. Admissions follow the school calendar with the main intake at the start of the academic year (late August/early September) and some mid-year places; schools typically request previous reports/transcripts, passport/visa documentation and immunisation records.
