How would you rate American International School Riyadh (AIS-R)?
AISR has a beautiful campus and great facilities - but not utilized to the best of its capacity. The curriculum is lacking and not up to par of an international school and the fees do not reflect the quality of education. Unfortunately, the fact that there’s only 2 English speaking K-12 international co-Ed schools leaves a lot of parents no choice but to accept the status quo.

I have been waiting for 2 month for withdrawal papers. No support and understanding from the administration! I returned to US and I needed to get my my child's documents send to me through email ao I can enroll her ASAP and they said that they can't do that because that's them policy! I never ever in USA have seen a school to reject you from accessing your child's withdrawal papers!!! You should correspond with parents and explain them what them options are !!!!! Also they make me pay a fee of 265 SAR to get my child's withdrawal papers and to pay extra to be sent to me through mail??? This should be included in your high admission prices !!!!!! horrible
