Thank you for your interest in ISG Jubail, a fully accredited, not-for-profit school offering an American curriculum to culturally diverse students from Kindergarten 1 to Grade 12. ISG Jubail staff and students represent more than 40 nationalities. ISG Jubail is one of five schools in the Eastern Province that belongs to the International Schools Group (ISG).
ISG Admission Policy
It is the policy of the Board to accommodate students of many nationalities.
ISG reserves the right to evaluate each applicant to determine acceptance and appropriate placement. Previous school records will be reviewed and considered in determining grade placement.
ISG Jubail will not accept students who, because of severe cognitive or physical disabilities require special education classes or services. That being said, the Learning Support team, alongside the Admissions team, assesses each prospective student on a case by case basis to determine if the school is suitable to meet the child’s academic, social and emotional needs.
If upon receipt of school records or present observations and testing, it becomes apparent that a student requires special services that ISG Jubail does not provide, parents will be notified. The school reserves the right to exclude a child for failure to satisfy entrance requirements of this policy.
New enrollees without previous school records will be placed according to chronological age and/or testing. The school reserves the right to reassign students upon receipt of previous school records and/or test results. The admissions team shall make the decisions pertaining to grade placement.
Please Note:
Saudi law requires that all new students (except American citizens) apply for a Ministry of Education approval. If the applicant is in Grade 2 or above, the applicant's current report card must be attested by the Saudi Embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the country from which the report card is being issued. This may be carried with you, as it will only be needed upon arrival in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi law also requires Saudi nationals (no matter what age) to apply for Ministry of Education approval directly through the MoE. Approval documents must be submitted before an assessment is scheduled.
We are still accepting applications for the academic year.
Applications for the academic year are now open. If you wish to apply, please contact the Admissions Office directly at jubail.admissions@isg.edu.sa if you have any questions.
ISG Jubail welcomes applications from students of all nationalities who are able to meet the demands of an academically challenging curriculum. Students are selected based upon past school records, teacher recommendations, standardized test scores and an applicant questionnaire.
We offer places to those students whose experiences and records indicate they will succeed in the school’s academic programs. The school gives priority to applicants who have siblings already enrolled at ISG Jubail, while also considering the school’s gender mix, which helps achieve a diverse student body. Classes are created with the appropriate balance and mixture of learners.
Admission decisions are always made in the best interests of the student and the existing student population.

Stage 2: Assessment and Decisions
Every applicant for ISG Jubail must be assessed before he or she is admitted to the school. This assessment is to determine the most successful placement of the applicant. Assessments are by appointment only. Assessments are NOT a guarantee of admission. Not all applicants will be assessed; assessments will depend on the availability of places.
Stage 3: Enrollment
Note: All students must receive clearance from the ISG Nurses’ Office, Government Relations and Finance Office prior to being fully enrolled. Students will not be permitted to attend school if these documents have not been submitted and approved.
Please note that there are many documents and steps required in Saudi Arabia that you may not have been asked for in other countries. Therefore, it is important that you READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY prior to applying. Documents missing or incomplete will delay the processing of your application.
