The KAUST School

Admissions to TKS

As part of KAUST's commitment to graduate students, faculty and staff, and their families, The KAUST School (TKS) provides an excellent education for the children of the KAUST community.

We welcome students from a wide range of countries, backgrounds, and abilities who wish to study an international curriculum with the International Baccalaureate (IB) and receive an English-language education.

Eligibility

For your child to be eligible for admission and continued enrollment at TKS, they must:

• Be a resident of the KAUST community
• Meet the age requirements for their grade
• Possess the level of English required for the grade
• Demonstrate the ability to be successful, with limited learning support, in a rigorous academic environment.

We admit students from Kindergarten through Grade 12. Learning support is available for students with mild-to-moderate learning needs, however, the academic requirements remain the same for all students. We are unfortunately unable to offer admission to students with learning support needs that are beyond mild to moderate.
