Daratassalam International Delhi Public School, Riyadh, is part of the Delhi Public School Society. Plans for a Riyadh branch were announced by the DPS Society in March 2004, and the Riyadh campus opened publicly on 21 March 2008. In 2008 the school began offering the IGCSE curriculum alongside the CBSE program. In early 2013 the campus relocated to a new site in Umm al-Hammam, with the relocation completed by January 2013. The school is licensed by the Saudi Ministry of Education (License No. 142) and is affiliated with CBSE Gulf Sahodaya (Affiliation No. 5730015).
Daratassalam International Delhi Public School Riyadh serves primarily the Indian diaspora and operates as a dynamic, progressive English‑medium community school. The school emphasizes English communication, mathematics, art and sciences, and offers a wide range of co‑curricular activities, with a student‑teacher ratio of about twenty students per teacher. The school community participates in a variety of events and cultural activities, including Environment Day celebrations and class parties, as well as investiture ceremonies; Saudi National Day celebrations are also showcased in school galleries. Public events and assemblies reflect ongoing student development and cultural engagement within the campus community.
Parent involvement is organized through regular Parent‑Teacher Interaction (PTI) sessions. The 2024‑25 PTI schedule lists four Saturday sessions: June 8, 2024; October 26, 2024; February 1, 2025; and March 15, 2025. There is no publicly listed separate PTA governance body or committees for this campus in the public materials. Parent involvement is coordinated via the school office and class teachers, with guidelines for contacting teachers and scheduling PTIs. The For Parents section provides guidance on parent engagement and communication with the school.
Established in 2004 under the aegis of the renowned Delhi Public School Society, Daratassalam International Delhi Public School Riyadh offers a dual pathway of academic excellence through the Indian (CBSE) and British (IGCSE) curriculums. The campus is designed to support a rigorous academic environment with specialized facilities, including digital classrooms, subject-specific science laboratories, and a well-stocked library containing over 11,000 books. Distinctive to its educational approach is a strong emphasis on public speaking and communication skills. The school actively integrates elocution, debate, and extempore speech competitions into its routine to build student confidence. While the Early Years program is co-educational, the school transitions to gender-segregated sections from Grade 1 to Grade 12, respecting local cultural norms while maintaining high educational standards. Students also benefit from a robust co-curricular program that includes participation in National Science and Mathematics Olympiads and various inter-school sporting events.
