About King's College Riyadh
King’s College is the first UK private school brand to open a branch campus in Saudi Arabia. It is a genuine partnership with King’s College UK, who have been educating students both from the UK and abroad for 140 years.
Following a hugely successful start in 2021, King's expanded in August 2023 to Year 5, and will eventually open through to Year 13 (age 18) to ensure pupils can complete their full school education at King’s in Riyadh. Unlike most other private international school in Riyadh, King’s is fully co-educational from Pre-School to Year 6.
King’s College Riyadh
- brings 140 years of outstanding experience to Riyadh;
- offers a truly holistic curriculum based on that of King’s UK but adapted to the context of Saudi Arabia;
- ensures outstanding pastoral care and strong sense of community;
- offers outstanding opportunities for career development within an international network of schools.
The partnership with King’s College UK is a great source of strength. Significant collaboration in areas such as vision and ethos, curriculum planning, professional development and co-curriculum opportunities, ensure that we maintain the highest international standards. Through the strength of our partnership, both pupils and staff in Riyadh benefit from the expertise and reputation King's College UK has built in the UK over the past century and half.
We combine an academic focus with the development of new skills and interest through sport, music, the arts and a range of other activities. Underpinning our curriculum is the value we attach to pastoral care. We understand that pupils fulfil their potential when they feel happy, supported and at ease in their surroundings. All members of staff, therefore, work hard to build a strong sense of community and promote supportive relationships, ensuring that children know that they always have a peer or adult to whom they can talk.
