Riyadh's International Schools Attraction Program has grown to 11 participating schools, following the addition of The Aster School, which is set to join in October 2026. The expansion widens the range of international-school options available to families living in the capital.
The program is led by the Royal Commission for Riyadh City in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and the وزارة الاستثمار. It aims to bring internationally recognized schools to Riyadh and provide additional choices for both Saudi and non-Saudi families.
The participating schools are King's College, SEK International School, Aldenham School, One World International School, Downe House, Reigate Grammar School, Beech Hall School, Buckswood School, EtonHouse International School, The Wishing Tree Early Learning Centre, and The Aster School.
Why it matters
For families in Riyadh, the growing list means more flexibility when selecting a school that fits their children's academic needs and preferred curriculum. The addition of a new school in 2026 signals the program's continued momentum in expanding the city's education landscape.
Fees and admission requirements are set individually by each school. Families interested in enrollment should confirm tuition, application steps, and other details directly through the official admissions channel of the school they are considering.
