The Italian School of Jeddah was founded in 1966 as a request of the many Italian families residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The School is subsidized by the Italian community, Italian enterprises, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs becoming fully operational as a private non-profit institution, thanks to an agreement with the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Education.
Over time, the Italian demand was reduced, However, the request of foreign students increased. The school is currently updating its programs in order to make it accessible to the new requirements. In 1995, an experimental program took place targeting kindergarten, primary school and the first grade of secondary school programs.
The School aims to spread the Italian culture and to give young students an education relevant to the standards, programs, and directives of the Italian Ministry of Education. As part of its bilingualism, the School provides the students with an education that combines the formative aspects of the neo-Latin culture with the pragmatic-experimental methodology of the Anglo-American system.
Inspired by ‘article 3 of the Constitution, the School’s philosophy embraces the concept of equality without discrimination based on sex, race, ethnicity, language, religion, social conditions, and personal opinions.
In reference to that, the School promotes the values of hospitality and education leading to INTERCULTURALITY, creating an atmosphere full of cognitive, relational, and emotional stimulus’s in support of different cultures, knowledge, and the values of various entities while staying committed to maintaining an impartial attitude towards all students.
The school pays special attention to the different learning styles and to the level of each student when beginning the program, in order to ensure the full educational experience, providing individualized educational strategies.
In defining the ‘educational approach’, the School emphasizes the importance of the teacher-student relationship to build the socio-affective and motivational foundations indispensable for learning.
The teacher follows the learning process of the students by guiding them to overcome their own mistakes and limitations so that they gain confidence in their own possibilities and they are stimulated to build their own knowledge independently.

The school that provides the best education
The teachers exhibit kindness and the management is perfectly cooperating with the parents.
In two years, my son learned English fluently and began to gain a deep understanding of Italy on a short-term basis.
