Governance

The district is governed by a Board of Trustees, supported by school councils, and the U.S. Consulate General Dhahran, and is licensed by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Education. 

Accreditation

Our schools are accredited by some of the top institutions in the world: the Middle States Association Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS), British Schools of the Middle East (BSME), British Schools Overseas (BSO), and the International Baccalaureate (IB).

Our Mission, Core Values, and Strategic Goals

We inspire innovation and compassionate action.  

Respect, acceptance, integrity, responsibility … with a commitment to act.
