Students graduate with the bespoke Misk Schools Diploma, a personalised qualification that includes internationally recognised examinations (IGCSEs, I A-levels/BTECs) as well as Saudi National Identity Subjects which are delivered within the Ministry of Education’s framework. From Grade 9, the Misk Schools Diploma also includes tailored Internship and Leadership modules, offering students the opportunity to acquire additional vocational and professional qualifications (eg Diplomas from the Chartered Management Institute), ensuring they graduate with a fully rounded education that prepares them for further study and life ahead. All students sit the national Tahsili and Qudrat exams in Grade 11 and 12 respectively.

First students will graduate in 2025.

A tailored, personalised approach and low student-to-teacher ration (max 15 per class) allow us to identify and build individual talents.

Each of our nine school buildings has a library, art and design studios, science and food technology labs, Arabic culture hubs, IT suite, music room and a kitchen in support of the school’s “farm to table” initiative.

As students mature, the specification of facilities becomes more sophisticated. In STEM, the older students have access to specialised, multidisciplinary workshops for coding and robotics, as well as mechanical, electrical, systems and control engineering (mechatronics).

In culture and the arts, there are filmmaking and digital editing suites, as well as two black box theatres complete with high tech audio-visual production hubs and lighting rigs, while the culinary arts are supported by a Master Chef-style kitchen.

Whole school facilities include three professional-style auditoriums (the largest of which can seat up to 850) and an exhibition gallery for cultural showcases.

A total of 24 Summer Olympic sports are catered for, together with e-sports. Included are specialist academies for golf, go-karting, and equestrian.

Misk Schools is a pioneering, private K–12 day school for boys and girls in Riyadh that aims to prepare the next generation of leaders. It exists to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by instilling in students the knowledge, values and skills they need to grow into leaders of themselves, of others and in their field of study.

Founded in 2016 by HRH Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, Misk Schools aspires to push forward the frontier of innovation in education, with a focus on approaches that enable students to become high performing and inquisitive critical thinkers, equipped with the knowledge, spirit and ambition to have a positive impact on their nation and the world. It was named one of the top 150 private schools globally – and in the top 15 in the Middle East – by The Schools Index 2024, an annual publication from global education group, Carfax Education.

Our core academic curriculum is delivered in partnership with Cambridge International Education, the world’s largest provider of international education for three- to 19-year olds, and part of the University of Cambridge, UK. We are the Kingdom's only accredited High Performance Learning school.

We deliver a personalised, international curriculum in English and all students are expected to leave us fluent in both English and Arabic. We teach using the High Performance Learning philosophy, underlining our belief that every student can be successful academically and in life. We place a strong focus on leadership and critical thinking, aiming to nurture considerate, inventive young people who have the mind-set and determination to make a meaningful contribution to their country and the world.

Our students prepare for IGCSEs in Grades 9 and 10 and then follow an A-level or BTEC pathway in Grades 11 and 12. We can offer the Advanced Placement (AP) for students who are committed to applying to US universities from an early age. However, academic qualifications are only part of their final Misk Schools Diploma, which is validated by Cambridge University Press & Assessment. The Diploma is a personal portfolio of accomplishments, reflecting academic, leadership and professional achievements, alongside customised experiential and skills-based micro-credentials. It is organised into four key areas: Academic, Leadership, Internship and National Identity. All students sit the national Tahsili and Qudrat exams in Grade 11 and 12 respectively.

We are ambitious for our students, expecting them to join the world’s most esteemed universities and university courses.
