King Abdulaziz School

The school is committed to an inquiry-based, caring learning environment that prepares students to be active, lifelong learners and responsible global citizens. It emphasizes the development of character, curiosity, resilience, and compassion, while encouraging students to remain grounded in their cultural identity and values. The educational approach balances academic excellence with strong moral foundations and intercultural understanding.

The school offers a comprehensive IB continuum alongside an American Diploma pathway. The academic programme integrates STEM-specific pathways and is supported by rigorous assessment. The IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) requires the completion of the Personal Project, Extended Essay, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) documentation, while the American Diploma pathway requires minimum grades in core subjects and encourages SAT scores.

KAS maintains an inclusion policy that respects individual differences and treats students equitably. The school provides English and Arabic language support to assist students with their academic progress and integration. Applicants with specific learning support needs are required to submit relevant documentation during the admissions process.

The school’s Admission Committee reviews applications based on seat availability, academic readiness, and interview performance. Early Years applicants undergo a developmental assessment, while older students sit for entrance tests in subjects including English, Arabic, Math, and Science. The school maintains an inclusive admissions policy, welcoming students with mild physical disabilities and providing language support to ensure successful integration.

The school operates on an academic calendar that is available for download via the official website.
