Pre – Prep

The Early Years: Pre – School and Reception, Ages 3 -5

The adventure that lasts a lifetime

As an Early Years pupil at King’s College Riyadh, your child will embark on the biggest and most important adventure of his or her life. Education. It’s a lifelong adventure that can take your child first through our Pre-Prep (ages 3 – 7), next into the Prep (ages 7 – 13) and Senior School (ages 13 – 18) and then onto a world-class university.

If your child joins us in the Early Years, the educational adventure will begin in facilities that have been designed for our youngest learners.

The Early Years at King’s has been designed to make learning experiences irresistible. We encourage learning to continue beyond the classroom walls, with excellent opportunities to use outdoor learning areas as well as an extensive shared learning space for our Pre-School and Reception children.

Small class sizes enable our talented British trained teachers to get to know their children incredibly well. We know what inspires and ignites interest in each child and, as a result, can tailor each experience to suit their individual style of learning.

Each class is supported by a full-time teaching assistant, enabling each child to achieve above and beyond expectation. There are no boundaries for growth in the Early Years at King’s – every child can succeed at their own pace.

Years 1 and 2, Ages 5 – 7

Pupils continue to be taught in small classes and each teacher is supported by a teaching assistant, ensuring that excellent adult-to-child ratios will be maintained throughout your child’s time in the Pre-Prep School at King’s.

Literacy and numeracy have a high priority in Years 1 and 2 to ensure a sound foundation, but great emphasis is also placed on the emotional development of each pupil. Parents are invited to be involved in the various activities on offer and to learn how we teach literacy and numeracy in sessions such as Stay and Play, which focus on numbers and phonics.

In addition to English, Mathematics and Science, your child will a enjoy a range of subjects delivered by specialist teachers, including Arabic, Islamic Studies, Music, Physical Education and Swimming. Many additional opportunities for your child are also on offer in our extensive Co-Curricular Activities Programme.

An After School Care programme is also available, providing families with maximum choice for their child.
