Why TKS

We all understand how important our children's school is in their daily life and how it will help make and shape their futures. I personally am so proud that my sons attend TKS as I am confident in the teaching provided and the whole school experience they are having. I even get jealous some days of the wonderful adventures and experiences the school is giving them which I know is truly unique and extraordinary. We are privileged to have this school in our wonderful community here in KAUST.
