It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Al-Hussan Education began in 1956 when Sheikh Abdel Aziz Rashid Al-Hussan started the Arab Cultural Institute for Adult Education. In 1957 the Al-Hussan Modern Girls School opened, becoming the first girls' school in the Eastern Province. The group now operates nineteen schools and institutes in the Eastern Province with over 10,000 students. Rashid Abdel Aziz Al-Hussan, the founder's son, serves as president of the Al-Hussan Group, continuing the vision of “Education for All.” The first international school, Al-Hussan International School Khobar (AHISK), opened in September 1998; Orbit International School followed in 2006; Al-Hussan International School – Riyadh opened in 2011; Al-Hussan International School – Yanbu opened in 2016.
Al-Hussan International Schools are English-medium day schools serving Kindergarten to Grade 12. The Riyadh campus participates in the network's co-curricular framework, which includes a Parents Council and a Student Council. The network offers after-school clubs, including Art, Scrabble, Coding, and Drama, with additional clubs such as Cooking, MUN, and Swimming. Across branches, community events include Wellbeing Marathon in Jubail, Youth Leadership achievements, Kutubee recognition for reading, and a Grade 3 Boys Football League.
The school maintains a Parents Council to involve families as active partners in the school. The council's mission is to support the school in meeting the educational, social and physical health needs of children through effective and meaningful involvement of parents as partners. Its objectives include representing parental views, promoting a positive school environment, seeking the cooperation of the school community, recognizing diversity, providing feedback, developing communication, promoting good relations with the community, raising funds for equipment and activities, and organizing parent volunteers. Members are elected for a two-year term, and when their children leave the school they resign. The council acts in an advisory capacity to the Head and the General Manager on issues such as school policy, curriculum, the school year calendar, the code of students' behaviour, communication strategies, co-curricular activities, health and safety, facilities and learning resources. The Parents' Council constitution guides its operation.
