TKS Kaust

Our teachers and staff come from many different countries and are truly representative of our exceptionally diverse community. They annually engage in deep professional learning that allows them to continue to grow professionally, resulting in more opportunities for students to grow and learn.

Our school has been specifically designed for an international student body. We have chosen the International Baccalaureate (IB), a curriculum that is the most respected and widely followed academic program in the international school world.  The IB truly prepares students for the best international universities and is well suited to globally mobile international students and tomorrow’s global citizens. This means that when our students leave, at whatever point in their KG, Elementary or Secondary education, they’ll be ready for whatever step they want to take next, anywhere in the world.

Being located on the sprawling campus of the KAUST University, a leading research University, makes for a very special learning environment, one that is incredibly rich in both resources and opportunities, and which are not available in other schools around the world.

International schools are wonderful environments where students are exposed to a multitude of cultures, customs, and ideas. This promotes respect, encourages collaboration and sees students develop high levels of empathy and compassion.

This is a key part of The KAUST School experience. At the same time, we focus on maintaining high academic standards and the development of the whole child.

The whole KAUST project is visionary. The KAUST School supports the University’s overall mission, and we are an important part of the foundation and the destination for family and community life on campus. As a school we are especially passionate about developing new programs and opportunities for our students. 

This, coupled with the wealth of resources we have at our disposal through our partnership with KAUST University, enables us to provide a truly world class education that uniquely meets the needs of our students and families.

By encouraging students to become engaged, self-directed learners, we can help them develop into well-adjusted, productive members of society. In so doing, our vision is to become a model for education around the world, a Beacon School.
