The British International School of Jeddah is a private community school licensed by the Ministry of Education. We are a not-for-profit organization governed by a Board of Trustees. Our school caters to children from years K-13 and has more than 1500 students from over 60 countries. We are accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). Additionally, we are authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) and are a center for Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) and also a member school of British Schools in the Middle East (BSME). BISJ Primary is a warm, vibrant, and welcoming school, where learning is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to providing a safe, secure, and happy environment where our students, from around sixty nationalities, come together to learn in an atmosphere of mutual regard, respect, and international mindedness. Our Golden Rule says it all “We treat others the way we would like to be treated”. Nursery is the first experience many children have of a school setting. We begin by ensuring the children settle smoothly and that they and their parents feel safe and secure while becoming accustomed to the routines of Nursery life. We believe that each child has unique capabilities and aim to provide a stimulating, challenging, but supportive environment through planned indoor and outdoor activities. Creativity is fostered through the use of a wide range of media and materials in messy, sensory, or imaginative play and free choice activities. Language is developed through stories, singing, rhymes, and by encouraging the children to communicate and express themselves at every opportunity. Nursery is a year of growth for the children where we endeavor to build the foundations of independence, cooperation, and communication. We strive to develop a positive and open relationship with our parents as their support is essential if we are to achieve our aims in developing happy, confident individual Learning is a holistic experience and we want our students to leave as well-rounded individuals who can make a positive contribution to society. This means that learning at BISJ goes beyond the classroom with a broad range of after-school clubs, trips, sports, and events that aid the social and emotional growth of our students. We also have a strong pastoral program and there are several special days during the year where all of Senior School come together with a focus on holistic education. In the latter part of the 1970s, there existed in Jeddah an American school and a British preparatory school. The prep school only admitted holders of British or Dutch passports, and it had been founded under the auspices of those two embassies, which were located in Jeddah at that time. The school is a non-profit educational establishment, licensed to operate by the Directorate of Foreign Education (formally the Saudi Arabian International School’s Office – SAIS) of the Ministry of Education. The school has a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. It is patronized by some diplomatic missions, notably the British, but it should be emphasized that the school does not have any form of diplomatic status. In its original form as ‘The Continental School, it was accredited by the European Council of International Schools (ECIS) in 1990, the first British-style school worldwide to achieve this status. It gained re-accreditation by the Council of International Schools (CIS) as ‘The British International School of Jeddah’ in 2002 and again in 2012. It is also accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and is an accredited member of British Schools in the Middle East (BSME). In 2015 the school is very different from the original villa school of October 1977. The evolution of the school over its 38 years of existence has, in no small part, been due to the changing nature of the expatriate community in Jeddah and the Ministry's decision to allow Saudi students, with special permission, to attend. It is also due to the high demand from both local and expatriate parents for what is perceived to be high-quality education. It is also true to say that some of the changes are due to the changing regulatory framework in which the school operates. The perceived high quality of the school has resulted in significant enrollment problems with many year groups now being heavily oversubscribed. The popularity of the school with Saudi families adds dynamic. Reflecting the international nature of the school, today our primary curriculum is based around the International Primary Curriculum and in Upper School, we follow a program leading to the International General Certificate of Secondary Education in Year 11 and the International Baccalaureate Diploma in Year 13.

The DISJ is an acknowledged German school abroad that is close to the Red Sea, in the beautiful port city of Jeddah. The Mission Statement of the German International School Jeddah (DISJ) has been in existence since 2004/2005. In 2011, the respective committees decided on new specific principles and the Mission Statement was completely edited as well as newly written. It expresses the values shared by the school's pupils, teachers, parents, and employees. It influences our way of acting and thinking and is obligatory for the entire school community. Our Mission Statement consists of the following eight guiding principles: The DISJ is an acknowledged German school abroad which maintains a high level of quality from kindergarten up to IB The DISJ is a school for families with a German language background and for those who plan a future in a culture of the German language. Working together in a democratic and confident atmosphere offers everybody a sense of belonging and solidarity within the school. This is based on a European liberal understanding. Respect and tolerance are a solid foundation for productive cooperation between teachers and students. The school takes advantage of its cultural diversity among students and their parents. At the DISJ we equally encourage and demand that students work to their highest ability. This is an open and constantly changing process. Furthermore, we support the individual development of every child and young adult. The DISJ’s main focus is on language education. The Kindergarten at the DISJ is made up of two groups, 3 to 4-year-old 'Caterpillars' and 4 to 5-year-old 'Butterflies'. All children spend playtime together. That way the young ones can learn from the older children. First, we begin with our morning circle, which we use specifically to introduce new subjects and discuss the daily routine. The subjects are inspired by the different seasons and traditional festivities in Germany. Songs and creative works are chosen fittingly to the subjects and if possible, we end the subject with a trip. To make the entrance into the German language easier for our Kindergarten children, we offer German as a foreign language (DaF) four times a week. Here the children in small groups, are playfully introduced to the German language, here the learning level is consistently increased. After the second year of Kindergarten, it is time to move to preschool, or rather the 'Wobbly Tooth' group. This year is the preparation year for the first grade. Through differentiated exercises, the children develop concentration and increase their stamina to blossom their mathematically logical imagination. Additionally, to the language-sensitive daily routine, there is also specific German language training. Generally, it is important to our teachers, especially in these early years, to offer every child the possibility to develop their personality, become independent, and explore the world around them. For that, we want to offer a space of security, in which the child can grow in a known and loving atmosphere while feeling respected and happy. In September DISJ welcomed new first graders for the 43rd time to begin their school journey in our Elementary School. Together with those who have been with us for a while, they will learn from each other about their diverse cultural backgrounds within a nurturing environment where every voice is heard. In our vibrant school community, all children are immersed in German culture and traditions. DISJ is a “Deutsche Auslandsschule” (German school abroad). Our language of instruction is German. Students who lack language proficiency are receiving DaF- lessons. (German as a foreign language) As in other German schools abroad, our Elementary School follows the curriculum of Thüringen state in all subjects. (Except Arabic Mother Tongue) During the afternoons the students can choose among a large variety of age group tailored extracurricular activities. During vacation language and culture, camps are offered in Germany. At DISJ Elementary School we believe that learning is not just about the acquisition of facts. With an eye on the future, we have a holistic approach to learning and teaching to develop critical, independent thinkers and confident leaders. Differentiation is used in our classrooms to meet each student’s individual needs. Together with our Elementary faculty, we support the children as they demonstrate responsibility, respect, friendship, kindness, and honesty. We know that these foundational years are truly a once in a –lifetime experience and it’s our privilege to partner with families through this important time. After primary school, the Orientation level in year 5 follows. The respective teachers will assess the pupils’ acquired proficiency level during this year. Accordingly, the pupils will be assigned to three acknowledged German proficiency levels (“Hauptschule”, “Realschule” or “Gymnasium”). The change from one level/type of school to another remains possible depending on the child’s performance and the decision of the class conference (= the respective teachers have to decide on this issue). At the end of the 10th grade, the final examinations for the intermediate school certificate (Realschulabschluss or Ü11) take place. In years 6 to 10, grammar-school teaching will be adjusted for pupils with “Hauptschul-level” or “Realschul-level”. French is compulsory for grammar-school pupils as a second foreign language. The pupils can acquire different degrees: Certificate of completion of compulsory basic schooling (Hauptschulabschluss) after year 9 Intermediate School Certificate after year 10 Authorization to the upper school (Gymnasiale Oberstufe) after year 10. Homework supervision in the 6th lesson will take place if necessary. Pupils with difficulties in the German language will receive special remedial education in the subject “German as a foreign language” (DaF) if possible. The pupil can also receive additional lessons in French, English, or Arabic (for example the DELF offer of the Alliance Française). The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB-DP) is taught in the upper school. It is a good replenishment of the German Curriculum which ceases after year 10 and the intermediate school certificate. The IB-DP curriculum is drawn up and provided by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). After the successful completion of the entire two-year Diploma Programme, the pupils receive the “Gemischtsprachiges International Baccalaureate” (GIB) as a final diploma. The GIB is comparable to the German Abitur and has been an acknowledged diploma in Germany since 1986 (see KMK→Hochschulzugang). This diploma gives the students international access to universities. IIn the IB-DP six subjects will be taught which are respectively assigned to six subject groups (Group 1: Studies in language and literature, Group 2: Language acquisition Group 3: Individuals and Societies Group 4: Sciences Group 5: Mathematics Group 6: The arts). The pupils choose courses from the six subject groups taking three subjects at a higher level (HL) and three at standard level (SL). Two out of the six subjects have to be language courses (Group 1 and 2) – one will be taught on a level of a native speaker, the other is a language acquisition course. Furthermore, one subject is chosen from Group 3, Group 4, and Group 5 is mandatory. The sixth subject can be freely chosen from all subject areas and artistic subjects offered at the school.

At JKS all students, parents, and staff members are valued and recognized for their role in creating a better global community. “Learning is a treasure which accompanies its owner everywhere." At JKS only the best is good enough. Quality is expected, and nothing less is acceptable. Passion for excellence is a driving force every day. As a rigorous school, we set high expectations. We have a highly involved dedicated and committed staff working collaboratively, pushing themselves and their students to be nothing but the best. And success becomes a natural reward. Our school is where young minds take the center stage and become the nucleus of learning because at JKS we strongly believe in teaching from the heart. We are passionate about enlightening our proteges and making them inquirers through their innate curiosity to learn. As an integral part of the JKS community, we work collaboratively to develop our students to become global citizens through academic excellence and cultural diversity to make learning more meaningful and relevant to everyday life. Our classrooms come alive with vibrant and colorful educational dialogue making learning an inspirational experience to want to pursue more. Further, this learning is enriched through widely shared real-life experiences that instill in our student's compassion and empathy so they develop into caring individuals and serve the wider society. At JKS no two students are identical differentiated instruction plays a pivotal role in ensuring effective learning and student success. Pupil-centered learning allows students to inquire and seek knowledge allowing the teacher to become the facilitator of the educational process. Our core values are based on caring and mutually respectful relationships that promote independence yet at the same time allow students to grow and develop in their own right. As 21st-century educationists, our driving force is to develop today’s learners to become visionary motivators, caring global citizens, critical thinkers, and excellent communicators for tomorrow’s world.
