Welcome to KiS Riyadh where "We Measure Success One Happy Learner at a Time"! Khaled International Schools (KiS) Riyadh Boys’ and Girls’ schools were founded in 1995 as private, international, English-medium, day schools (KG1 to Grade 12) that cater for Saudi and non-Saudi learners. The schools also offer Arabic as a first and second language as well as French for communication purposes. KiS are learner-centered in philosophy of education and multi-national in curriculum, staff, students and range of services.
KiS Riyadh are members of the LWIS Network since 2012. KiS offer a tailor-made American Curriculum and are accredited by Advanced. Both schools are under the supervision of the Ministry of Education.
The schools’ purpose-built facilities house an independent Girls’ School KG1 to Grade 12 where the Preschool classes in the Girls’ School are co-educational, while Grades 1, 2 and 3 boys are housed in independent classes in the Girls’ School. The facilities also accommodate an independent Boys’ School Grades 4 to 12.
At KiS, we aim to create a safe, flexible and nurturing learning environment where children, faculty, staff and families work together to enhance everyone’s cognitive, emotional, and spiritual development through learner-centered, holistic education and the integration of technology.
Guided by the core values of respect, responsibility, partnership and life-long learning, KiS will honor the special gift in each child and support every learner to become a contributor to positive change in his/her country, and in an ever-diverse international community of learners.
Khaled International Schools endeavor to have in the heart of Riyadh, distinguished, learner-centered schools that exemplify a collaborative and cooperative learning environment and a rigorous, caring learning community, where growth and life-long learning traits are inherent attributes to all young and adult learners. To have schools that educate and develop the whole child and exemplify equity among learners’ diverse academic potentials, learning styles, and social standings. To have schools that capitalize on partnership with parents, faculty, staff, and administrators to enable and empower learners to reach their maximum potential. To have schools that prepare learners to be active citizens in their own countries who can contribute positively in building our ever-advancing world. To build a learning community that empowers staff to utilize their professional training and provides them with ample opportunities for thorough ongoing professional development, personal growth, and self-actualization.

Student-Centered Approach: We are committed to developing the abilities of all our students, honoring their different learning styles, multiple intelligences and cultural backgrounds. Each learning experience is designed to cater to the student’s individual needs with the goal of guiding him/her towards academic, personal and social excellence.
Encouraging Multilingualism: Multilingualism is as a tool for international understanding it empowers students to become actively involved in our Global community. Through our curriculum we offer our students the ability to learn four languages: Arabic, English, French and Chinese. Our students are equipped with a strong command of two languages and a communicative command in a third.
Using Technology: We offer Students computer literacy and interactive "anytime, anywhere" access to quality information technology instruction, empowering students to use these skills to take control of and be responsible for their learning.
Using Differentiation: We believe that students have unique learning styles and that each student develops at a unique pace. As such we provide differentiated instruction throughout our classrooms.
Being committed to internationalism and appreciation of the local culture: We believe that equality, understanding and awareness are key to growth and that internationalism is not cultivated only by the curriculum but rather through the provision of an educational system and an environment of international-mindedness. Students benefit from an American curriculum (modified to include aspects of the local and international community, and participate in activities that are enhanced by the cultural diversity of the host country, the school community and international contributions. We also believe that teaching openness, communication, respect, independence, and Global awareness are key to building international students.
Providing Qualified Staff: We set high standards for our teachers and provide ongoing training with international consultants to provide students and their families with a holistic academic and social experience.
Believing in Partnership: We will create a "learning community" where students, families, teachers and other members of the school community work together in a partnership.
Focus on Continuous Improvement: Our administration and staff are committed to self-evaluation and improvement. We rely on our internal strategies for continuous review, which includes input from parents, as well as recommendations for growth made by external bodies such as accreditation boards and government inspection.

The education at this school is absolutely top-tier, and the teachers are incredibly dedicated to each child’s growth and development. They go above and beyond to ensure that every student feels supported and engaged. What truly sets this school apart is how they actively involve parents in the experience. From reading sessions to hands-on arts and crafts activities, they create opportunities for parents to participate and bond with their children. The collaborative events and creative projects foster a strong sense of community and make learning fun for everyone involved. I highly recommend this school to any family looking for outstanding education and a warm, inclusive environment!!

Getting parents involved in their children’s daily learning process is such a great idea. My husband and i enjoyed reading a story for KG 2 Melons about how to be a caring friend and did an art craft that was related to the story with the whole class. My son was so happy that his parents came visited his class and get to meet his friends. The confidence and excitement i saw in his eye is beyond words. The kids were very interactive and had a blastA big thank you for Mrs Berlante and the best Homeroom teacher Mrs Dina for their continuous efforts and hard work on making the kids happy. Thank you for letting us be part of this amazing experience
