Employment Manager

INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS GROUP (ISG) IN BRIEF

The International Schools Group was founded in 1962 to serve the needs of expatriate families living and working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  ISG is a not-for-profit, forward-looking school district comprised of six schools in four locations. The schools are co-educational day schools delivering preschool to grade 12 programs for expatriate children and a small number of students from the host country. Each school offers either a British, American, or International curriculum, and encompasses the following higher level programs: AP and IB (selected American schools), and GCSE and A-Levels within Dhahran British Grammar School. ISG currently serves the needs of over 4,000 students.

The District is governed by a Board of Trustees, supported by school councils, and is licensed by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Education. The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools accredit ISG’s American and International curriculum schools.

ISG is committed to the safety and protection of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Living in Saudi Arabia is comfortable, secure and rewarding. The rich culture of the host country makes living in the Kingdom fascinating and enjoyable. Saudi’s location provides unique access to travel opportunities, both within the region and beyond. Salary and benefits for administrators are competitive and generous and, when coupled with excellent working and living conditions, provide a comprehensive package.
