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 purpose-built Diriyah campus welcomes boys and girls from Pre-School to Year 7 (ages 3–13), growing year by year to Year 13 (age 18). 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.
