Riyadh - School Report Question and Answers

How would you rate the school's support and welcome/integration of new students and their families, and why?

The school did a great job making my son feel welcome for his admission exam. They also gave us a great tour or the school. The facility is amazing and in a great location. My son has loved being in school here (especially since online school ended because of covid). - Feb 2022


I think there are/were a lot of new students this year, so there wasn't anything special as a welcome or integration. They just started school like all the other kids. - Apr 2019


Relatively good, but we're also pretty low-maintenance. There was an orientation day for new families and good communication regarding supply lists, etc., before we arrived. - Jul 2018


They do a very good job. Middle and HS students receive a "buddy' who makes contact with them some months prior to arrival. The "buddy" is generally of similar demographics (home country, etc). Having been to numerous overseas posts, this was a first and really made the difference. My one child's "buddy" remains his best friend almost a year later. - Mar 2017
