Riyadh

Al Hussan International School Riyadh is part of a group of four international schools which in turn is part of the Al-Hussan Group. The tradition of Al-Hussan education in Saudi Arabia began in 1956 when Sheikh Abdel Aziz Rashid Al-Hussan started the Arab Cultural Institute for adult education. In the following year Al-Hussan Modern Girls School, the first girls' school in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia was opened. Today there are nineteen schools and other educational institutes throughout the Eastern Province rated among the best in Saudi Arabia, with enrolment of over 7,500 students. The Al-Hussan International Schools is the most recent addition to the organization and although young in age they have grown steadily. Al-Hussan International School is located in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and was opened in September 1998. A year later Jubail International School (JIS) was established in Al Jubail, JIS also consists of separate boys and girls sections. In June 2006 Orbit International School was added to the group with separate boys and girls sections, finally in 2011 Al- Hussan International School - Riyadh opened its doors. This was the first school to be opened outside of the Eastern Province. Qurtaba is a modern suburban area of Riyadh and is being heavily developed. Riyadh is very cosmopolitan; however the location of the school has a heavy concentration of nationals from which the school draws its population. The Al-Hussan international schools in the Eastern Province are very well known for offering a strong and solid quality education and it is our aim to bring to the same to the Riyadh community.
