ISG International School Group Jubail

ISG Jubail is a not-for-profit, KG to 12, international school serving the American community as well as the needs of the diverse international population in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. ISG Jubail offers an American standards-based curriculum capped by the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.

At ISG Jubail, we are driven by our mission: ‘We inspire innovation and compassionate action’. Throughout their lives, our children will need to find innovative solutions to problems in a rapidly changing world. They will also need to act compassionately to ensure that the world they create is peaceful and humane.

Our mission is ambitious, but it impacts everything we do. Even our youngest students take significant steps as innovators in our Reggio inspired kindergarten with its ability to follow student interests. Through elementary and middle school, our Readers and Writers Workshop program builds autonomy and metacognition. At the same time, our standards-based mathematics program builds a strong conceptual base that supports a functional understanding of mathematics characterized by facility with multiple representations and a focus on reasoning.

As students progress, their agency and autonomy only increases culminating in the International Baccalaureate Diploma program characterized by its balance, rigor and international mindedness. Infused throughout ISG Jubail are opportunities to explore music, art, drama and physical education. Guided by our mission and at every level, we are attendant to compassion in all its forms as well as a recognition of our common humanity. This starts in the morning meetings that are a part of our responsive classroom program in elementary school and culminates in the leadership roles taken on by our IB students in service to others.

Perhaps the most important word in our mission is the word ‘we’.  At ISG Jubail, we view our community as a family of parents, students and educators working together to inspire innovation and compassionate action. We would be delighted if you were to join us.

We are an international school in the heart of Jubail Industrial City, in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.  Our staff come from around the world and our teachers are compassionate and internationally-minded global citizens.  Likewise, our students represent nearly 40 nationalities and together our community strives to live and embody our mission and guiding principles.

An ISG Jubail students’ educational experience begins in our Kindergarten (KG) program, inspired by a play-based program of inquiry and self-discovery, and culminates with our offering of the IBDP program in grades 11 and 12.  Throughout our elementary, middle, and high school divisions, our students have opportunities to engage and inquire at every level.  We value learner agency and allowing students to direct their learning with the support and guidance of our professional and experienced team of international educators.  The ISG Jubail student experience is dynamic and multi-faceted, with instruction and academics taking more authentic and interactive approaches compared to lectures or more traditional pedagogy.

We are also part of the larger, non-profit, International Schools Group (ISG) organization, with partner schools in Dammam and Dhahran.  Being a part of ISG often means more opportunities for student co-curricular activities, sharing of resources, and meaningful collaboration between our students and teachers across the organization.

We at ISG Jubail are proud of our commitment to academic and personal excellence and are eager to welcome new or prospective students and families into our special school community.
