King Abdulaziz Schools (KAS) strive to cultivate international educational experiences that prepare active and lifelong learners. KAS aims at providing stimulating academic programs supported by rigorous assessment implemented through an inquiry-based, caring learning environment. Learners are equipped with the skills they require to reach their full potential and become responsible global citizens. KAS prepares students to be open to other perspectives, values and traditions whilst recognizing their own identity and taking pride in their cultural heritage.

Our Vision is To inspire the individual potential of all students and enable them to become principled, proficient, inquiring and caring lifelong learners.

We believe learners bring their strengths and uniqueness to the classroom. Our teachers strive to cultivate learning partnerships with our learners. KAS believes that teaching is about empowering learners to take responsibility for their learning, inspiring courage to grow intellectually, cultivating curiosity, providing opportunities for developing relationships, clarifying values, uplifting the spirit and igniting action.

Our rigorous assessments aim to discover what our learners know and have learned at different learning stages. We believe that effective assessments cover the five essential elements of learning; the acquisition of knowledge, understanding of concepts, mastering skills, developing attitudes, and encouraging the initiative to act.

Our School aims to prepare young minds in becoming leaders who meet the global challenges of the 21st century and grow to become internationally-minded individuals that push for positive change in the world.
