Schools across Riyadh City and Diriyah Governorate will continue remote learning through Thursday, October 22, 2026, with classes delivered online rather than on campus.
The arrangement applies to students, teachers, and administrative staff alike. Learning will continue through the Madrasati platform and other approved educational platforms, while schools follow their normal daily timetables and instructions.
Officials confirmed that no additional fees apply to families during this period, and that the switch to online classes does not change the academic schedule or the pace of lessons.
What families should know
Parents and students in the two areas are encouraged to log in to their classes at the usual times and to check with their schools for any updates on attendance and assignments. Because teaching stays on the regular timetable, pupils are expected to join each session as if attending in person.
The continued remote setup matters for working parents and the many expat and resident households in the capital and its surroundings, as it keeps the school day predictable while lessons stay fully online. Students should ensure stable internet access and have their login details for the approved platforms ready ahead of each session.
