New to Riyadh?
We know moving is hard. AIS-R has been welcoming families from around the world to Riyadh for over 60 years. You're not alone — and you'll feel at home sooner than you think.
We Understand Your Journey
Relocating internationally is one of the most significant things a family can do. Choosing the right school is central to that decision. At AIS-R, we've spent decades supporting expat families — from diplomatic corps and NGOs to multinational corporate families — in making Riyadh feel like home.
Our community spans more than 60 nationalities. Whatever your background, you'll find families who understand your experience here.

Our American curriculum transfers easily from U.S. schools, international programs, IB schools, British curriculum schools, and more. We work with you to map your child's credits and ensure a smooth start.
Welcoming Community
From orientation day to community events, AIS-R families look out for each other. Parent networks, cultural celebrations, and new family support are part of who we are.

Our admissions team has helped hundreds of relocating families navigate the process. We make it as simple as possible, even from abroad.
