International Schools in Jeddah

On top of the cultural and language barriers, expats don't have access to public schools in Saudi Arabia. This is because admission into these schools is restricted to Saudi citizens and naturalised Arabs. However, there are international schooling options available for those who decide to relocate to Jeddah with children.

Below are some of the most popular international schools in Jeddah.
