Welcome to Al Hussan Group of International Schools. Over the past years, Al Hussan International Schools developed from two small schools to FIVE large schools in Khobar, Jubail, and Riyadh. In addition, the month of September 2016 will witness the inauguration of our SIXTH school in the Industrial City of Yanbu.
As accredited schools, we are working continuously on developing ourselves. A major area of development is the curriculum, the heart of our schools, that we have just started a process of developing.
The vision of Al Hussan International schools states: “to prepare students with the skills necessary to be able to continue their education”. Therefore our curriculum is focusing on the skills of the twenty-first century. Some of these skills are incorporated in our curricula such as independent learning, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving in addition to many others.
“Providing high-quality education”, drives us to continuously improve our teaching methods and technology and create a continuous training program for our teachers, so we can make our curriculum alive in each classroom. We will continue to exert every possible effort to all our students, for them to achieve even better results in international examinations (IGCSE O-level, A-level, IB Diploma, SAT) so that more students get accepted into the best universities around the globe.
The fact that every individual is unique, belonging to different cultural backgrounds, and has to be prepared for the challenging environment at university.
We endeavor to be a regional network of high-quality international schools with an uncompromising commitment in our role to prepare students with the skills necessary to be able to continue their education in reputable international institutions. We strive to offer an educational environment where students are exposed to the latest technology and teaching methods by fully qualified educators in a facility that has been specifically equipped for this purpose.

Located in the Huwaylat District, in Jubail Industrial City, Saudi Arabia, Jubail International School serves as an ideal site for teaching and learning. Its location offers the community easy access to an area that is a part of the Royal Commission.
The school's location has many advantages. First of all, it is located in Royal Commission which is a very secure area with constant surveillance for security with patrol cars, etc. It is adjacent to a hospital fully equipped with up-to-date facilities. The area is clean and is close to a commercial area. It is not on any main road, therefore, decreasing the chance of traffic accidents. The school is ideally located near the Beachside which is helpful while doing ecosystem studies.
The school itself is housed on a 19700 sqm plot of land. Jubail International School opened in 1999. It was originally located on much smaller premises. It was a co-education school system. In 2009 by the decree of the Ministry of Education, it was separated into two separate locations, boys sections' and girls' section. Over time, the number of students increased and the then existing premises was deemed inadequate. The construction of a new building was an essential part of the School's progressive plan and its mission and vision. Hence a new building was constructed just for housing a school, and we moved into it in January 2011.
The Jubail International School is housed in a new purpose-built centrally air-conditioned campus. It opened its doors to the students, staff, and parents on the 7th of January, 2011. The students, parents and our staff had been anxiously waiting for the new campus which offers a safe and stimulating environment to about 900 students at present. The school has three sections, with separate entrances, for Boys' Section, Girls' Section and one for Administration Offices.
A well-maintained school building is essential for a proper learning environment. Our new building has large, shared workspaces as well as classrooms that are equipped with the latest technology like projectors. The building contains four fully-equipped science laboratories, two rooms for art and design, two clinics, two laboratories for information and computer technology, two spacious libraries, four covered play areas, two canteens, two gymnasiums, and an outside sports area. Thus, the school is purpose-built with teaching and learning concepts in mind. The new building was inspected by the Royal Commission of Jubail and Yanbu, Ministry of Education and Fire & Safety Department, and was found to be meeting, and in some instances exceeding their standards. The girl's gymnasium has a stage, electronically operated stage curtains, and a state-of-the-art music/sound system. It provides the perfect setting for various activities and events like Graduation Ceremonies of Reception and Grade 12.
At Jubail International School, the co-operation and camaraderie among all stakeholders have been a significant factor for its success. The responses we have received are very favorable and there is an overwhelmingly positive view of the school premises as parents are very happy with the facilities. The resources and facilities at the school provide ideal learning opportunities to students.
The tradition of Al-Hussan Education in Saudi Arabia began in 1956 when Sheikh Abdel Aziz Rashid Al-Hussan started the Arab Cultural Institute for Adult Education. In the following year Al-Hussan Modern Girls School, the first girls’ school in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia was opened. Today there are nineteen schools and other educational institutes throughout the Eastern Province rated among the best in Saudi Arabia, with an enrolment of over 10,000 students.
