IB Curriculum International Schools in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Riyadh’s IB schools sit inside a large and rapidly expanding international sector and typically offer one or more IB programmes (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma) alongside other international curricula. Instruction is usually in English, with Arabic language lessons across the age range and Ministry rules meaning Arabic and Islamic/identity subjects are taught for Saudi and Muslim pupils. Annual tuition fees vary widely by school and year group, so families should budget from lower-cost international options in the low tens of thousands of Saudi riyals to six-figure totals at premium secondary stages once VAT and extras are included. Admissions follow an August/September academic year with most schools running formal applications, assessments and waiting lists, so apply early and be ready with residency (iqama/passport) and previous-school documents.
