King’s College Riyadh | Leading British International School

Welcome to King's College Riyadh

For over 140 years, King’s College UK has nurtured young people to grow in confidence, curiosity, and character. At King’s College Riyadh, we bring this proud British heritage to the Kingdom, blending academic excellence with a deep respect for Saudi culture and traditions.

Our Diriyah campus welcomes boys and girls from Pre-School to Year 7 (ages 3–13). With small class sizes, specialist teaching from the earliest years, and a curriculum that balances academics, sport, music, and the arts, every child is encouraged to thrive.

Guided by the ‘Golden Threads’ that weave through every aspect of school life of Academic Focus, Curiosity, Respect, Tolerance, Leadership, Enterprise, Endeavour and a Care for Others, our students learn to work together and achieve more — in the classroom, on the field, and beyond.

At King’s Riyadh, education means more than results — it means raising confident, compassionate young people, ready for a global future.

A journey through culture, history, and expression.

Our Year 4 students explored the richness of China through a visit to Hyun Art Gallery, where they discovered the beauty of Chinese calligraphy and traced the evolution of the language from ancient Shang script to modern forms.

From creating meaningful calligraphy inspired by hope to designing personalised bookmarks with their names written in Chinese, it was a hands-on experience that brought learning to life.
