Our history

Our Legacy: A Story of Purpose, People, and Progress

Founded in 1981, Saud International School began with a clear purpose — to offer a world-class education rooted in strong values, academic excellence, and an unwavering commitment to developing the next generation of capable, confident, and morally grounded individuals.
Over the decades, the school has grown from a modest academic institution into one of Riyadh’s most respected and enduring educational establishments. We proudly serve students from Preschool to Grade 12, offering both the American and British curricula, and educating boys and girls in a dynamic and inclusive environment.

Our Journey: 1981 to 2025 and Beyond

Since our establishment, we have remained steadfast in our belief that education is more than textbooks and exams — it is about preparing individuals to understand themselves, serve others, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them.
Our graduates today are doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, educators, and leaders — occupying respected positions in countries around the globe. Many of them are now proud parents themselves, returning to enroll their own children in the very classrooms that shaped their early years — a testament to our lasting impact and generational trust.
We have continuously evolved over the years — adapting to advancements in technology, curriculum development, and teaching methodologies — all while staying true to our original ethos: values-based, holistic education.

Our Philosophy of Education

At Saud International School, we believe education must develop the whole child — intellectually, emotionally, socially, spiritually, and morally. Our goal is not simply to produce high achievers, but to nurture individuals of strong character who can lead with wisdom, empathy, and integrity.
We view every student as a unique individual with distinct potential. Our classrooms are places where curiosity is encouraged, critical thinking is developed, and creativity is celebrated.

Our Objectives & Aims

Beyond Academics: A Complete Education

We believe school should be a launchpad for life. That’s why our educational program extends far beyond the classroom — through co-curricular activities, leadership opportunities, student clubs, competitions, sports, community service, and more.
Every child who walks through our gates is guided not only to achieve, but to understand, reflect, and grow — as a student, as a citizen, and as a human being.

Ethos of Leadership and Service

Our leadership is grounded in service — not only to our students, but to the educational landscape of Saudi Arabia. We believe in leading with humility, vision, and responsibility. The school’s management team is composed of experienced professionals who are deeply invested in the growth of each individual and the collective success of our learning community.
We do not just manage a school; we cultivate a culture — one that inspires learning, rewards effort, and uplifts everyone it touches.

A Legacy Aligned with the Kingdom’s Vision

As Saudi Arabia moves forward with Vision 2030, we are proud to play a role in shaping the generation that will carry that vision forward. Our commitment to innovation, character education, and global readiness aligns with the national goal of building a knowledge-based society, and we are honored to contribute to the Kingdom’s future through the work we do every day.

Looking Ahead

We carry with us more than 40 years of excellence, but our eyes are always on the future. With each passing year, we renew our promise: to stay rooted in purpose, to move forward with integrity, and to ensure that every student who walks through our doors is prepared — not just for school, but for life.
