International Indian School Al Jubail (IISJ) was founded on 30 November 1987 as the Embassy of India School, established through the efforts of the Indian community in Jubail under the patronage of the Ambassador of India and with the cooperation of the Directorate of Schools in Dammam and Riyadh. The school grew from portable cabins to four permanent buildings as enrolment expanded, with space added for the Junior Primary section from 2008–2009. A Silver Jubilee Block for girls was opened in 2012, and 18 additional classrooms were inaugurated on 29 March 2015. IISJ operates on a no-profit, no-loss basis and is affiliated with CBSE (Affiliation No. 5730007) under an MOE license (JEEM•5). The governance includes a Patron (the Indian Ambassador) and a School Management Committee chaired by Mr. R T R Prabu, with the Principal serving as the Member Secretary.
The IISJ community centers on the Indian expatriate population in Jubail, supported by ongoing school events that celebrate the school's history and culture. The IISJ 38th Foundation Day Program was held on 27 November 2025 and streamed online, reflecting the community's continued commemorations of the school's legacy.
