The school offers four IB programs: Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP), Diploma (DP), and Career-related (CP). It has been an IB World School since 2001, and in 2017 the two founding schools merged into a single coeducational institution. PYP (K–5) emphasizes inquiry-based, concept-driven learning across six transdisciplinary themes. MYP (grades 6–10) uses English as the language of instruction for most subjects, with Arabic, Physical and Health Education, and Religion taught in Arabic, and it includes nine subject groups, interdisciplinary learning, and community service. DP is offered as part of the IB continuum, with DP authorized since 2001, and CP authorized since 2016; DP covers six subject groups and core components (CAS, EE, TOK), while CP blends DP courses with career-related studies and four core components including service learning, personal and professional skills, language development, and a reflective project.

Arts education spans Music, Drama, Visual Arts and Performing Arts. The Music, Drama and Visual Arts offerings are integrated across the PYP and MYP, with Performing Arts featured in middle school life and school productions.
