- Our school vision is to be an outstanding International School, continuously striving for improvement and engaging our whole community with the concepts of: Learning to Live. Learning to Learn. Learning to Lead. We provide excellent British Style education with an international perspective, within a safe environment, where individuals feel secure, respected, valued, happy, and successful. Our community of learners from many nations works together harmoniously. In a spirit of international-mindedness, we develop understandings of our own and others’ cultures. Our teachers, working with parents as partners, inspire in our students a love of learning, motivating and challenging them to become the best they can be. Our students build personal and interpersonal knowledge, skills, and values. In developing these attributes in an innovative environment, we expect our students to flourish, becoming balanced individuals with the potential to make a difference as principled leaders of the future. 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.

It also welcomes students of other nationalities to benefit from the wide range of opportunities offered by the School. The School seeks to provide educational experience and opportunities that assist the students in developing an integrated pattern of competence, intellectual curiosity, and social responsibility. Underlying these basic goals is the strong commitment to excellence in instruction. The school is alert to the changing educational requirements of the students and endeavors to meet them. To accomplish this mission, the school has established the following objectives: To guide and develop the student as a whole, molding him/her to a physically, intellectually, and spiritually well-adjusted future. To reprepare the student for academic excellence, instill sublimity of thought, and develop a sense of proportion in him/her as an individual and as a member of society. To foster in the heart and mind of the student a profound and lasting faith in Islam and loyalty to the concept of Islamic Ummah ideology of Pakistan, and the spirit of humanism and brotherhood of all men and women. The School commenced its operation in 11959-1960 vide Letter No. 8/4/9/9180 dated 19.4.1380H, issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Initially, the school was housed in two buildings in Al-Baghdadi. It accommodated a large number of students in two shifts a day. With the rapid increase in the number of students, the need for a new building was felt. To fulfill this requirement, the new school building was constructed in 1984, with the facility of 135 classrooms in two separate wings for boys and girls. The School functions by the rules and regulations set by the Ministry of Education, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Board of Directors duly elected by the parents of the students under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Education, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia constitutes the ‘governing body’ and formulates the policies of the school.

- JPGS brings children together from many nations to learn and grow together. Our experienced and fully qualified staff of local and expatriate teachers are dedicated to providing children with the very best that international education has to offer. We wish to stand proud as a beacon of academic excellence the life lessons of lasting impact and great worth: self-discipline, the integrity of character, care for others, and a sense of values permeate every aspect of your child’s time here. Education does not only take place in the classroom but on the sports pitch, performing on stage or exploring in the field, and so all students at JPGS are encouraged to take risks, develop existing interests and try new ones via participation in our enrichment program. These elements combine to provide our pupils with the knowledge and skills to thrive in a globally mobile, competitive world. A child’s time at school must be a period of growth for each individual to explore their mind’s full potential. As the children develop, they have the chance to become an elder of the school, to mentor younger children, to put something back into the community to learn to lead. Jeddah Prep and Grammar School provides a unique educational opportunity in the most cosmopolitan city of Saudi Arabia. At the heart of the school’s ethos are the needs of the children. We cater to these needs by providing a nurturing environment providing opportunities for academic achievement and fostering individual talents and strengths. Whether living and working at home or abroad, choosing a school for your son or daughter is a most responsible task. Because our children’s education, quite rightly, will always be a priority, the choice of the ‘right’ school for them can be a complicated decision. Since it was opened in 1967, the School has established a worldwide reputation for high academic standards, incorporating the traditional values of good manners, discipline, competition, and commitment to the School. We seek to provide a stimulating environment, in which individuals will grow in confidence, skill, knowledge, and compassion and the School’s ethos is shaped by the people who teach and study here. Jeddah Prep and Grammar School seeks to attract a broad range of pupils with diverse talents and an appetite for education. When they arrive, our pupils bring much of the character of our School through the gates with them. Many of the qualities which attract parents to Jeddah Prep and Grammar School also draw men and women of great dedication and ability to teach here. Staff is encouraged to explore enthusiasms in and out of the classroom, and to develop their teaching styles within a framework of shared principles: that learning matters, that all members of the community deserve to be treated with care and respect, and that every lesson or activity is a fresh opportunity to awake interest and develop understanding. As an overseas School, we follow the National Curriculum for England and Wales up to the age of 14. From there, an International GCSE program is undertaken. Students can be offered the opportunity to pursue A-Levels courses within the School after 16. We are highly conscious of the need to ensure that our students are well prepared for eventual integration into the education systems and societies to which they will be returning. We have a great deal of experience assisting students in their continuing education to various locations throughout the world. Here at JPGS, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which are set standards for learning, development, and care for children from FS1 until the end of the FS2. This is a two-year program that starts at FS1 and ends in FS2. It aims to develop each child to their full potential by offering a ‘principled, play-based approach to learning and development’. Young children learn best through play. Our teachers at JPGS will be able to provide your child with appropriate play and learning experiences for their stage of development and help them develop new skills. The activities that are provided for young children will underpin the skills they need to work towards the Early Learning Goals at the end of their FS2 year at the school. The EYFS curriculum enables practitioners to recognize their child’s strengths and areas where they need more support to develop new skills. Our curriculum is exciting innovative stimulating cutting-edge different and blends our traditional grammar school education with unusual challenges designed to stretch even the ablest young child. We teach the basics thoroughly along with a wide range of skill-based activities to seek to broaden the mind and develop natural inquisitiveness. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff from the Prep School provide the majority of the teaching with additional classroom input from Grammar School subject specialists. Our aim is that all our students are happy and successful in school. The Grammar School offers a comprehensive and academically rigorous British curriculum. It has a culturally diverse student body comprising approximately 400 students from Years 7 to 13. Students meet together every morning in vertical mentoring groups which allow students to mix with other students from all-year groups. Teaching groups, however, comprise of students from the same year group and students in Key Stage 3 learn together mainly in their teaching group. Jeddah Prep and Grammar School offers opportunities for exceptional academic success coupled with tremendous opportunities for personal and social development. At JPGS a combination of careful planning and monitoring and excellent teaching enables students to exceed their expected “A” Level grades. The academic attainment of our students has led to a near 100% placement rate in Further or Higher Education across the world, with the vast majority of our students being offered admission in some of the top universities in the UK, USA, and Canada. The continued growth in the popularity of the “A” Level program at JPGS has meant that this year’s intake of 33 students has continued the steady increase since 2012 when we admitted 20 students Ativan for sale in Y12. Admission is selective, with students expected to have a minimum of 6 IGCSE grades of B and above (with at least C in Maths and English). View full school

- 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 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.

These elements combine to provide our pupils with the knowledge and skills to thrive in a globally mobile, competitive world. A child’s time at school must be a period of growth for each individual to explore their mind’s full potential. As the children develop, they have the chance to become an elder of the school, to mentor younger children, to put something back into the community to learn to lead. Jeddah Prep and Grammar School provides a unique educational opportunity in the most cosmopolitan city of Saudi Arabia. At the heart of the school’s ethos are the needs of the children. We cater to these needs by providing a nurturing environment providing opportunities for academic achievement and fostering individual talents and strengths. Whether living and working at home or abroad, choosing a school for your son or daughter is a most responsible task. Because our children’s education, quite rightly, will always be a priority, the choice of the ‘right’ school for them can be a complicated decision. Since it was opened in 1967, the School has established a worldwide reputation for high academic standards, incorporating the traditional values of good manners, discipline, competition, and commitment to the School.

Staff is encouraged to explore enthusiasms in and out of the classroom, and to develop their teaching styles within a framework of shared principles: that learning matters, that all members of the community deserve to be treated with care and respect, and that every lesson or activity is a fresh opportunity to awake interest and develop understanding. As an overseas School, we follow the National Curriculum for England and Wales up to the age of 14. From there, an International GCSE program is undertaken. Students can be offered the opportunity to pursue A-Levels courses within the School after 16. We are highly conscious of the need to ensure that our students are well prepared for eventual integration into the education systems and societies to which they will be returning. We have a great deal of experience assisting students in their continuing education to various locations throughout the world. Here at JPGS, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which are set standards for learning, development, and care for children from FS1 until the end of the FS2. This is a two-year program that starts at FS1 and ends in FS2. It aims to develop each child to their full potential by offering a ‘principled, play-based approach to learning and development’. Young children learn best through play. Our teachers at JPGS will be able to provide your child with appropriate play and learning experiences for their stage of development and help them develop new skills. The activities that are provided for young children will underpin the skills they need to work towards the Early Learning Goals at the end of their FS2 year at the school. The EYFS curriculum enables practitioners to recognize their child’s strengths and areas where they need more support to develop new skills. Our curriculum is exciting innovative stimulating cutting-edge different and blends our traditional grammar school education with unusual challenges designed to stretch even the ablest young child. We teach the basics thoroughly along with a wide range of skill-based activities to seek to broaden the mind and develop natural inquisitiveness. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff from the Prep School provide the majority of the teaching with additional classroom input from Grammar School subject specialists. Our aim is that all our students are happy and successful in school. The Grammar School offers a comprehensive and academically rigorous British curriculum. It has a culturally diverse student body comprising approximately 400 students from Years 7 to 13. Students meet together every morning in vertical mentoring groups which allow students to mix with other students from all-year groups. Teaching groups, however, comprise of students from the same year group and students in Key Stage 3 learn together mainly in their teaching group. Jeddah Prep and Grammar School offers opportunities for exceptional academic success coupled with tremendous opportunities for personal and social development. At JPGS a combination of careful planning and monitoring and excellent teaching enables students to exceed their expected “A” Level grades. The academic attainment of our students has led to a near 100% placement rate in Further or Higher Education across the world, with the vast majority of our students being offered admission in some of the top universities in the UK, USA, and Canada. The continued growth in the popularity of the “A” Level program at JPGS has meant that this year’s intake of 33 students has continued the steady increase since 2012 when we admitted 20 students Ativan for sale in Y12. Admission is selective, with students expected to have a minimum of 6 IGCSE grades of B and above (with at least C in Maths and English).

We are lucky to have a passionate, dedicated group of staff, students, parents, and friends who share the common purpose of seeking out the best for our children and their future. We believe in the development of the Whole Child and are committed to providing an environment in which this is not only possible but also probable. AISJ is now on the cusp of an exciting new chapter. For the past several years, we have been working towards the construction of a new, state-of-the-art campus and this project has finally come to fruition. We will be operating out of our new home for the 2018-19 school year. In line with our vision, our new campus will further distinguish us as a learning community committed to excellence, innovation, and collaboration. Established in 1952, the American International School of Jeddah is the U.S. accredited Pre-K-12 college preparatory institution. We offer a rigorous American-based curriculum serving a diverse student body through a holistic approach. Our mission is to inspire and facilitate learners through an authentic American education to nurture their passion for knowledge, so they may pursue their dreams and become successful global citizens. Our vision is to be a distinguished learning community committed to excellence, innovation, and collaboration. We believe that: Respect cultivates positive relationships. Honesty and integrity build a culture of transparency and trust. Helping other benefits communities and leads to personal growth. Embracing cultural diversity develops relationships and enriches life. Passion and commitment motivate, inspire, and empower life-long learners. Quality education has the power to make a positive impact on individuals and societies. A school community thrives when there is open communication and collaboration. AISJ provides an authentic, standards-based American education based on the American Education Reaches Out (AERO) Common Core Plus standards, a widely used international set of rigorous standards. At AISJ, we define curriculum as the knowledge, skills, and understandings that students are expected to learn. Our AISJ faculty works as a collaborative team to develop each content area curriculum by using organizational tools such as Rubicon Atlas. We follow a widely recognized curriculum design framework, Understanding by Design, to prioritize enduring understandings and transferable skills for students. To ensure a high-quality curriculum, AISJ has established a Curriculum Review process. We examine each subject area in depth once every 5 years to make sure that the curriculum is up-to-date and reflects our changing world. The AISJ elementary school is firmly rooted in the belief that learning is built upon a strong foundation. We are committed to the development of the Whole Child, providing a balanced program that addresses children’s social, emotional, and academic development. We aim to make learning relevant and meaningful to students by adopting an inquiry-based, integrated curriculum that focuses on the child as a learner. We recognize that children come to us as distinct individuals with unique experiences, backgrounds, abilities, and interests. Middle school is an essential time in our children’s lives as they begin to transition into becoming young adults. In middle school, we carefully blend caring relationships with responsibility and reflection, ensuring that each day your children are at AISJ, they will not only be learning their academic skills, but also the interpersonal skills of teamwork, personal responsibility, academic integrity, community awareness, and social justice. The AISJ high school is "a community of passionate learners, developing a culture of discovery and excellence to impact our world for the better." This is who we are and what we do. While the bulk of our teachers come from North America, we hail from all around the world and provide students with a safe and diverse learning environment. Within the classroom, students are presented with opportunities to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways from project-based learning to traditional paper and pencil exams. We also recognize the importance of technology and the reality that computers, handheld devices, and the internet are all valuable resources and should be embraced as we move ever more quickly from today into the future. Each teacher and class of students creates a blended environment of in-class and online instruction. We are a one-to-one school, and every student has the necessary hardware and electronic resources at their fingertips all the time, enabling them to integrate the use of technology into their learning experience seamlessly.

- Pakistan International School (Azizia) Jeddah was founded in 1959 as Pakistan Embassy School to meet the educational needs of the children of Pakistan Embassy Staff. It has grown into a celebrated institution of great repute and provides educational facilities to all Pakistanis living in and around Jeddah and Makkah al Mukarramah. It also welcomes students of other nationalities to benefit from the wide range of opportunities offered by the School. The School seeks to provide educational experience and opportunities that assist the students in developing an integrated pattern of competence, intellectual curiosity, and social responsibility. Underlying these basic goals is the strong commitment to excellence in instruction. The school is alert to the changing educational requirements of the students and endeavors to meet them. To accomplish this mission, the school has established the following objectives: To guide and develop the student as a whole, molding him/her to a physically, intellectually, and spiritually well-adjusted future. To reprepare the student for academic excellence, instill sublimity of thought, and develop a sense of proportion in him/her as an individual and as a member of society. To foster in the heart and mind of the student a profound and lasting faith in Islam and loyalty to the concept of Islamic Ummah ideology of Pakistan, and the spirit of humanism and brotherhood of all men and women. The School commenced its operation in 11959-1960 vide Letter No. 8/4/9/9180 dated 19.4.1380H, issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Initially, the school was housed in two buildings in Al-Baghdadi. It accommodated a large number of students in two shifts a day. With the rapid increase in the number of students, the need for a new building was felt. To fulfill this requirement, the new school building was constructed in 1984, with the facility of 135 classrooms in two separate wings for boys and girls. The School functions by the rules and regulations set by the Ministry of Education, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Board of Directors duly elected by the parents of the students under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Education, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia constitutes the ‘governing body’ and formulates the policies of the school. The operational activities of the school are carried out under the supervision of the Principal of the school. The Primary Section- headed by Headmistress- comprises classes Prep to IV for Girls and Prep to V for Boys. The Secondary Sections - headed by Vice Principal - comprise class V to XII for Girls and class VI to XII for Boys. In administration, the School has a Director of Finance and an Administrative Officer. The Director of Finance is overall in charge of all financial matters, whereas the Administrative Officer looks after the Personnel Section, the Transport Section, and building(s) maintenance.

- Our school vision is to be an outstanding International School, continuously striving for improvement and engaging our whole community with the concepts of: Learning to Live. Learning to Learn. Learning to Lead. We provide excellent British Style education with an international perspective, within a safe environment, where individuals feel secure, respected, valued, happy, and successful. Our community of learners from many nations works together harmoniously. In a spirit of international-mindedness, we develop understandings of our own and others’ cultures. Our teachers, working with parents as partners, inspire in our students a love of learning, motivating and challenging them to become the best they can be. Our students build personal and interpersonal knowledge, skills, and values. In developing these attributes in an innovative environment, we expect our students to flourish, becoming balanced individuals with the potential to make a difference as principled leaders of the future. 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.
