- Aldenham UK – Founded 1597
The school is dedicated to ensuring we offer the flexibility and support for each child to develop their own individual abilities and academic excellence whilst meeting new challenges. In short, we provide the highest standards of education, and promote the development of all-around talents, whether they be academic, creative, or sporting.
We offer exceptional opportunities to all of our pupils. Our boys and girls are at the heart of all we do - the children
are
Aldenham.
We believe very strongly in offering breadth within our curriculum, so that the all-round talents of each individual child may be developed. This involves promoting the academic, creative and sporting facets of school life, as well as fostering children’s natural curiosity, in order to empower them with a lifelong love of learning.
Saudi Culture and Arabic Language
The
Aldenham curriculum has been tailored to fit our local Riyadh setting.
Arabic Language, Islamic Studies and Social Studies are central and
important components of our curriculum, and we have been careful to
ensure that our whole curriculum, whilst British in nature and based on
the UK curriculum, is set in the context of being a school in the
Kingdom. Arabic Language, for instance, is offered from the Lower School
onwards, and is delivered by subject specialist teachers.
Parents
are kept well-informed of their children’s learning through lists of
curriculum topics and curriculum evenings at the start of each year.
Aldenham
has a strong and prestigious sporting tradition. Games and Physical
Education are a very important part of life at Aldenham Prep Riyadh, and
each class has one PE lesson per week with a specialist teacher as well
as a Games afternoon.
The major sports available for pupils to
take part in are football, netball, hockey, cricket and basketball. The
children will also have the opportunity to experience a number of other
sports and activities such as badminton, golf, and swimming.
“Choosing a School which provides a holistic education in
a loving and caring environment is the best gift
a parent can give to their child.”
Aldenham UK
Founded in 1597, Aldenham UK is the flagship of the Aldenham Foundation and is steeped in history, with over 428 years of academic excellence. Aldenham UK - and all of our schools - embodies the best of timeless traditions and universal values, along with a documented history of a forward-thinking culture that’s served to differentiate us from our peers.
At Aldenham, we remember that achievement is an individual matter - whether that’s entry to an Oxbridge college, a sporting or cultural goal, or simply growing up into a well-balanced individual. Dedicated teaching is at the heart of everything we do. While we help our pupils to focus on their own plans, our teachers focus on our pupils.
