The American International School - Riyadh (AIS-R) is an independent, non-profit, co-educational school offering an enriched American curriculum with an international perspective for students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12. AIS-R was founded in 1963, and celebrates more than half a century of excellence in education on a beautiful, purpose-built campus in North Riyadh. AIS-R is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the Council of International Schools (CIS), and is International Baccalaureate (IB) authorized. In January 2021, AIS-R was awarded five year re-accreditation status by both CIS and NEASC and AIS-R recently submitted its five year evaluation to the IB. The academic year is from September to June with 176 instructional days.
AIS-R's curriculum is modeled on the US State Department Standards (AERO), Common Core State Standards and selected National Association Standards. The school also offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12. Instructional objectives are clearly defined, but academic expectations are flexible enough to support and challenge individual students. Instruction in all subject areas encourages students to think creatively, reason critically, and communicate effectively. AIS-R does not have a Special Needs Program.
AIS-R's enrollment is more than 1400 students with more than 50 nationalities.
As AIS-R has grown, so too has demand for available seats. To better support families and their efforts to make AIS-R their school of choice, it is highly recommended that interested families review our admissions page to become familiar with the process and requirements for admission.

My experience at AIS-R has been nothing but positive to date. My son is in his second year of high school there. He has flourished academically, socially, and in sports. I am deeply impressed by the school’s administration, particularly the superintendent, as well as by the levels of attention and engagement by the faculty. The school pays keen attention not just to academics but to social and emotional development of all its students. Finally, the school’s facilities are excellent.

Been going to this school since first grade and will be a senior in the upcoming school year. This school is a wonderful place and in my opinion the best school in the city. The education standard is very high and good. The teachers are very good and the school also has terrific facilities. The atmosphere is positive. I have so many memories here, but what I love most is the diversity.

This new campus I loved it because I've been in this school since Daycare. To me that was amazing and to my friends they'd say "You must be the oldest student in this School." I'm now high school. When I was in this school as the school years go on I feel like this is my second home when I get good grades to trying to get good grades but I need to boost up my grades so I can pass and go to university either here, Philippines, Thailand or America.

Work as a reminder for not just parents but as an adult we are heavily impacted by it. “Digital citizenship” a word heard from my elementary girl yesterday sounds like now you know where you are heading to. We want our kids to look cheerful & youthful with fresh and positive mindsets And for us as Parents a collective effort, a Partnership surely a much safety protocol for this community .. Plz keep up the good work. All your efforts much appreciated.
