District Information

 

International Schools Group operates seven schools in the Eastern and Western Provinces of Saudi Arabia. Depending upon location and community, ISG schools offer similar, yet different curricula. Students in American division schools follow a course of studies based on a typical American curriculum. Students in the British division study using the National Curriculum of England and Wales. Students in the International division also follow an American curriculum, however, ISG Jubail (Pre-KG – 6) offers the International Primary Curriculum. The Dhahran campus also offers limited special education services.


The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (www.css-msa.og) has accredited all American and International division schools. Dhahran British Grammar School was accredited by the Council of International Schools (www.cois.org) in November 2009 and has been inspected within the framework of the OFSTED (www.ofsted.gov.uk) standards.


In September 2011, ISG welcomed the opening of the Dhahran Baccalaureate Centre (DBC), enabling our students to enroll in the internationally-renowned IB Diploma Programme. ISG first initiated the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) application process in January 2010, following the unanimous approval by the Board of Trustees of the decision to seek IB Programme applicant status. The Dhahran Baccalaureate Centre (DBC) received approval as an official candidate school later that spring, in May 2010, from the International Baccalaureate Organization (www.ibo.org). DBC operates under the auspices of Dhahran High School and in partnership with Dhahran British Grammar School. Please consult the Dhahran Baccalaureate Centre page on this website for further information regarding ISG's new IB Programme.
