Welcome

Aldenham Prep School Riyadh is proud to offer a first-class British International education for boys and girls aged 3 to 13 closely aligned with the values and traditions of Aldenham School in the UK. Like our sister school we are dedicated to providing an excellent all-round education that combines strong academic foundations with opportunities for personal growth and achievement beyond the classroom.
As we are a relatively new school, we currently offer classes up to Year 8. However, we are continuing to grow and will in time become a full EYFS to Year 13 British International School offering (I)GCSE and A Level qualifications.
When a child joins Aldenham Prep School Riyadh they become part of a warm and inclusive community where pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do. We know that children learn best when they feel valued, supported and confident and our approach ensures that every pupil is nurtured as an individual. At the same time we set high expectations and stretch all children to achieve their very best, encouraging them to aspire to the highest standards in every area of school life.
Our broad curriculum, rich co-curricular programme and strong sense of community help pupils to discover and develop their talents. Whether through academic success, sport, music, the arts or leadership opportunities we want each child to flourish and to leave us with the skills and self-belief to make a positive difference in the world.
As part of the wider Aldenham family our pupils also benefit from the strength and heritage of a global network. We take every opportunity to foster international connections that broaden horizons and deepen learning experiences.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Aldenham Prep School Riyadh and sharing with you all that makes this school such a special place.
