We welcome you to discover what makes us one of the leading international schools in the Kingdom.

ISG Superintendent's Message

Ramadan is a time when many take a pause from their busy lives, enjoy being close with family and friends and practice gratitude for all they are fortunate to have. I would like to wish all our families a happy and blessed Ramadan.
