The British International School located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is a co-educational school, catering for English-speaking children aged 3 to 18.

 

We provide a high quality education based on the National Curriculum of England and leading to examinations at GCSE and Advanced Level.

We are a non-profit making institution with our main source of income being fees paid by parents or their employers.  Today, the school has over 1300 students and upwards of 40 nationalities.

 

It is our aim to provide a broad and balanced education for our pupils, with a strong academic focus in a positive and pleasant environment, which will enable your child to learn and grow academically, socially, creatively and emotionally.

 

We have high expectations of our pupils, and our teaching and support staff have a commitment to maximising potential, and fostering and encouraging high achievement. At the same time, we promote the values of respect, compassion, trust, honesty and good manners.

 

 

Secondary Art News - Feb 2012

 

Students in Year 11 GCSE Art and Design recently sat their Mock Exam. Unlike other subjects, the art exam is a ten hour exam held over two days. Students go through an intense 8 week preparatory period where they explore concepts and ideas on a given topic. This years mock exam topic was "Surfaces". A range of studio areas were explored included a dramatic painting exploring recent events in Syria by Deena Raef , a cubist inspired water colour painting by Francesca Pellizon, a charcoal drawing by Lexi Rowland, and a pen drawing by Natasha Ali. Please take the time to visit the works on temporary display in E building foyer. Congratulations to all students on your efforts.

We are delighted to inform you that after the success of the Reading Reward Programme’ last year, KS2 will once again be running another reading reward programme within school.

Primary Art Week 2011 ... Our last Art Week supported and collaborated with the music department in the musical production ‘Ocean Commotion’

 

The children from Foundation stage to Key stage 2 created the scenery and props for this exciting production. We were delighted that the older children from the upper school with the support of their art department also created their own art to display in J- Hall under this theme.

 

In the past few years Art Week has with your generous support raised funds for different charities. This year we hope to do the same. We will once again support our gold level - Duke of Edinburgh students, who will visit the three orphanages in Nepal in November. Our students have committed to this charity again this year and hope to raise funds for this project through the art week initiatives. We also hope to direct some of the funds raised to a local charity in Riyadh.
