I am a Pakistani-American relocating to Riyadh from USA in June 2012 and are looking for a good american school in Riyadh. Son is 5 years old.He was in Pre-K in Montessori in USA.
I think that this blog is great use of the social media but so far there is no consensus among the writers about schools. I am not looking for 100 % agreement but there are conflicting views on every school. I am willing to pay $ 10,000 per year as long as the school provide good education.

2012-01-25T21:21:16.529+03:00

Choosing between the British and the American Curriculum when arriving in Riyadh I hope some vital points may help you.

my comparison of the two systems must start with the statement that one is not comparing like with like. The US doesn’t have a single educational system in the sense that England does. American schools do however; have a number of accreditation bodies, who ensure that they have certain standards and fundamentals in common. US schools are also much more free to respond to the requirements, or indeed demands, of the local population. This means that special interest groups can have at times a significant effect on teaching requirements and the curriculum in those schools. This might lead to certain subjects, such as Biology, having additional strictures on what can and cannot be taught in schools. Schools in England, on the other hand, follow a single standard National Curriculum.

Teachers in both systems have some degree of personal freedom to develop their own teaching style within the structure of the particular curriculum that they follow.
The English National Curriculum specifies in some considerable detail the educational milestones that children should reach on a year-by-year basis as they progress through their school life and this is what I do like the most. Children are regularly assessed in detail by teachers, who use a standardised set of criteria to assign levels to their progress. Nationally, standardised tests are also employed, which give a very strong indication of how well a child is doing compared to national standards.

Al-alameen British Islamic School is a nursery and primary school in the Olaya area specializing in providing Riyadh expatriates with a quality British education for their children to ensure smooth transition and continuity during their tenure in Riyadh.

2012-01-25T00:00:46.103+03:00

The only 2 schools I know that follow Cambridge Education or that of England are the learning caravan and British Islamic Alalameen. Both close to each other one street in Olaya. Both have grades up to grade 6.

Both great been to both British but very different. One I’d say is more for people that don’t need Arabic, Quran and Islamic.

Both have native staff and great management, One does not follow a strict weekly plan or hand out books to students the other does use text books and uses weekly plans.

The good thing is when speaking to both of these schools they recommend each other. Which is very nice to see schools working hand in hand rather then competing against each other. I love standards and I love honesty both of these things I found at these establishments professionals.

Different methods but both get good results. Which one did I choose this year both because I have younger kids at one and the older at the other. Im really happy with all of them. Best of luck
