Aldenham Prep School Riyadh Offers Day Education for boys and girls from 3-14 to develop and thrive in a creative and caring environment. 

Aldenham Prep Riyadh is part of the Aldenham Education Group and is integrated closely with Aldenham School in the UK, which was founded in 1597. Boys and girls have the opportunity for a smooth transition of education from 3-18 years, focussing on developing the whole child. An excellent all round education. 

We are proud to be bringing this same quality of education to Riyadh, and the links between the two schools will be extremely strong. Such links across cultures and countries are ever more important in preparing our children for the global and interconnected world they will inhabit when they leave school. 

At Aldenham Education Group, our mission is to cultivate extraordinarily resilient, self-reflective, multidisciplinary thinkers  and lifelong learners through a carefully choreographed education that combines unapologetic academic rigour and deep, mastery- level learning, built upon an ever-present foundation of the liberal arts, which defines our culture of all-rounded development  and pastoral care that has been our bedrock since our inception in 1597.​

​

To encourage a love of learning in order to aspire to academic excellence and a broad education for all pupils

To foster good relationships and partnership between staff, pupils, parents and the wider community

To ensure that each individual pupil is nurtured and encouraged to make the most of their own special talents

To emphasise the importance of the social, moral and spiritual dimensions of community life in a modern society

To provide a well planned, well organised environment giving children rich and stimulating experiences

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 life long love of learning.

​

The Aldenham curriculum is tailored to fit with our local Riyadh setting. Arabic language, Islamic Studies and Social Studies are central and important components of our curriculum, and we are careful to ensure that our whole curriculum, whilst British in nature and based on our UK School curriculum, is set truely 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 tradition of Sport. Games and Physical Education are a very important part of life at the Prep School. Each class has one PE lesson per week with a specialist teacher and a Games afternoon. There is also a weekly swimming lesson.

Major sports are Football, Netball, Hockey, Cricket and Basketball. The children also have the opportunity to experience a number of minor sports such as Badminton, Climbing and Trampolining.
