American International School of Jeddah

Thank you for your interest in the American International School of Jeddah.

At AISJ, we are committed to helping families make the best choice when it comes to education. We realize that choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. We encourage you to Schedule a Tour of our school and to tell us more about the individual learning needs of your child. We are here to make sure that you have all the information you need to feel comfortable and confident in your decision-making process.

The learning environment at AISJ is one that fosters the development of the Whole Child. It is vital to us that our students are healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. We consider their physical, psychological, social, and academic needs in every aspect of our teaching. Learning opportunities are created to inspire and motivate students. At AISJ, we are facilitators of learning, and we believe in teaching students how to think, not what to think.

We accept students throughout the year and because of this, we have no application deadlines. However, we encourage you to apply as early as possible as spaces may be limited for some grades. Students who apply after the grade level has reached capacity will be placed on a waitlist.
