What are the schools in Riyadh like?
When we asked about the schools in Riyadh, they said...
"The school has always hired highly qualified teachers that have taught at other overseas schools. Unfortunately the director of the school (2003-04) has removed some of the highly qualified IB teachers in high school which makes one wonder if the high school IB program is as qualified as it was 2 years ago. Because of the terrorist attacks in Riyadh, many Westerners have left the Kingdom; thus, there are less students from Western countries attending the school. My child (American) had a great experience at the school and had close friends from the Middle East, Asia, and Europe... after 3 years, he didn't want to leave Riyadh because of the school," wrote an expat with kids at The American International School of Riyadh KSA in Riyadh .
