Parent Experience

History
An educational journey began with the establishment of Al-Hijaz Private Kindergarten in 1999 on a cherished site in the land of civilizations and cradle of prophets. This was followed by the founding of Al-Hijaz School in 2001, a journey carrying an educational mission, authentic thought, and diligent work that keeps pace with modern developments. Since its founding, the school has pursued a future educational path grounded in a sound ethical framework derived from Islam, which builds the human being as the architect of civilization. In the 2012/2013 academic year, a new girls' building opened, dedicated to female students from fourth grade to the second year of secondary, in addition to the foreign education section; the old building was allocated to male students and underwent major updates. The first building houses the Al-Hijaz Private Kindergarten and the male section from third grade to second secondary plus the third-year boys' class, while the second building houses the female section from first through second grade (mixed) and from third to second secondary (girls), in addition to the foreign education section from first through seventh grade (CP).

Community
Non-curricular activities are organized across both campuses and the media center provides updates, photo galleries, and video collections. Students have participated in the Arab Reading Challenge; in 2023-2024 they won at the school level and advanced to the district level in the Marqa Directorate. The school hosts health and educational events, including a medical day with Alpha Laboratories and a lecture on intellectual extremism and the impact of social media on thought and awareness. Parents are engaged through meetings with teachers and school administrators.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
Regular parents meetings with teachers and school staff are held to discuss student progress and school affairs. An initial parents' meeting with Hijaz 2 teachers to review school results occurred.
