The school is also registered with the Department for Education (DfE) in the UK.
BISAK aims to prove the best possible British education whilst enhancing pupils’ educational experience with richness of the local culture. The distinctive British character of the school is a major attraction for families and staff, alongside the excellent reputation at the Ministry of Education, KSA. We are rightly proud of our multinational community, as BISAK pupils represent over 50 nationalities, which makes our children’s experience here like no other in the UK. Parents appreciate that the school is innovative in its approach to teaching and learning and keeps up to date with UK and international initiatives. This is very apparent from not only the conversations, but the emails, letters and cards received from both present and departing families.
High standards are achieved by the pupils both academically and beyond, through our school values:
B Belief – developing positive attitudes, consideration and helping others.
