How would you rate King Abdullah Academy (KAA)?
Very welcoming, world class facilities
Care too much about the dress code doesn't even let us wear sweatpants even when we have PE and the work is 10x harder compared to public school
King Abduallah offers excellent teaching
Great facility. I enjoy going to KAA.
Absolute top tier facilities the only thing I didn’t like was the grading system it’s just overly complicated
Its a well thought out school with lots of facilities and top notch science lab and other educational capabilities. Its not a sports driven school to prep high school.
King Abdullah Academy is a Saudi Arabian private school that does not fit well in the American system.
Great structure. Good teachers. Confused administrators.
A great IB independent school. I received overwhelming support and opportunities from the Administration especially Dr. Sakaji and Ms Jalaika Hasan. Also excellent teacher collaboration. The students are eager to learn and are very respectful. Great year round school programs, clubs and sports. Anthony is also doing an excellent job as academic counselor for high school student. Great lunch, LMS and new class room and spots facilities! Not to mention good salary and health benefits. I loved working at KAA
I LOVE KAA...amazing facility, great teachers, strong IB program with Arabic as a second Language. Great Islamic curriculum. BEAUTIFUL community with a Strong supportive PTO.

This is our second year at KAA. We are very pleased with the hard work of the administration and staff. KAA is fairly new but the school is striving high with its Academic feature and professional staff to help the students excel in their studies. We would definitely recommend KAA to our families and friends.

I’m a girl in sixth grade. So the school is beautiful. We have alright teachers and the students are great. They have great learning resources. BUT... the dress code is very strict. We can’t wear anything but skirts. We can’t wear hoods. We can only wear black shoes. At the end of the year, the teachers pressure us and cram exams in the last two weeks. They don’t have an organized curriculum. They change it every year. We can’t get used to one way when we switch to the other one. Overall, it looks nice on the outside, but on the inside it’s not very organized.

School always chooses locations that are too far away . Learning community thing is a bad idea it is always cramped with students and teachers. School is great BUT they care way too much about the dress code we can’t wear hoodies only the ones that the school make you pay for .the only good person is mr sarsour who the head chef he is the Funniest guy ever never acts different when parents are by . If your student want to learn with no Interruptions then this school is not the one for every class the teacher is mostly Quieting the students down .

Horrible school. I used to go isa before this school it was much better than this. They care more about the uniform then the teaching of us.
