British International School Al Khobar

The British International School, Al Khobar (BISAK) has been providing the very best education for the wider community of Al Khobar since 1977. This year we have moved into our new 20 Million SAR state of the art campus. This not only demonstrates the success of our school but the trust the community has in us. We are committed to the growth and development of our school with the support of our community and the British Embassy. We are a not for profit school so all our resources are used to support our pupils learning. Our Governing body are volunteer British passport holding parents who are elected by our British parents to ensure the future of our school.

Our school motto, “Let there be peace on earth” symbolises what we expect from all members of our school. We are a community, and a family. This ideal impacts upon every element of our academic and personal lives. We expect everyone in our school to make the most of their opportunities, to learn something new each day and to reflect upon their experiences. We expect our pupils to work hard and always try their very best at everything that they do. We will assist them, by providing them with the best possible learning environment and outstanding teaching, in an atmosphere of order, discipline and care. In June 2017, our British School Overseas (BSO) inspection led by PENTA International stated that: “BISAK pupils achieve excellent levels of personal development feeling secure and valued within a friendly, mutually trustful learning environment that prevails throughout the school”. We are very proud of our school and our pupils. It is very heartening to have a professional and external organisation confirm what we already know.

Children thrive when they are happy and in a nurturing environment. Our focus is that we do what is best for the children. Through our motto ‘Let there be peace on earth’ and instilling the BISAK values we also look to bring out the best in each of our pupils, not only academically but socially and emotionally as well, during their time with us.

We are a truly International School that provides diverse and challenging learning experiences for everyone in our community. We celebrate the fact that children learn in a multitude of different ways and that our pupils come from a rich variety of backgrounds, bringing with them a wealth of different strengths, experiences and interests. Our school motto is ‘Let There Be Peace on Earth’ and we positively encourage all of our pupils to adopt a truly international outlook as global citizens of the 21st Century. As a school with a true family atmosphere, we expect the highest standards of behaviour and are very proud to say that this is precisely what we achieve.

We are fortunate in having a team of talented, committed teachers and support staff who create a learning environment that is motivating for every pupil and will inspire your child to achieve their own personal goals and dreams. Our pupils are taught how to be resilient, how to enjoy learning and are expected to share in the responsibility for their own and everyone else’s achievement; they are encouraged to think creatively and expected to complete schoolwork and homework to the very best of their ability. We want all of our pupils to leave us prepared to tackle the challenges of higher-level studying at University or to succeed in the workplace.

Through our British values in an international environment, to inspire everyone to be positive global citizens by reflecting upon equality, community service and peace.
