About BISAK:
BISAK is one of the oldest British Curriculum Schools in Saudi Arabia. The school transitioned to a new campus after 22 years at its previous location (1998-2018) and is now situated on a large campus in the new residential area of As Sadafah in Al Khobar.
BISAK is a co-educational international school offering a British style of education to approximately 930 pupils aged 3-18. Licensed as a private, non-profit institution under Saudi Arabian Law, the school operates as a ‘Foreign Community School’ registered with the Ministry of Education of Saudi Arabia and the Department for Education (DfE) in the UK.
BISAK strives to provide the highest quality British education while enriching pupils’ experiences with the local culture. The school's distinct British character is a significant draw for families and staff, alongside its esteemed reputation with the Ministry of Education in KSA. We take pride in our diverse community, with BISAK pupils representing over 50 nationalities, making their experience uniquely enriching. Parents value our innovative teaching methods and our commitment to staying current with UK and international educational initiatives, as reflected in the feedback we receive from both current and former families.
Our pupils achieve high standards academically and beyond, guided by our school values:
- Belief – fostering positive attitudes, consideration, and helping others.
- Internationalism – developing as global citizens.
- Success – embracing a mindset of continuous learning.
- Aspiration – believing that nothing is impossible.
- Knowledge – understanding ourselves, others, and the world around us.
As a selective school, all pupils undergo an admission and assessment process to meet our minimum entry requirements. Consequently, we do not have a dedicated Special Educational Needs (SEN) department. While English is not the first language for many of our pupils, they are required to demonstrate a good level of English proficiency upon entry, thus minimizing the need for extensive support. Nevertheless, assistance is available across the curriculum and through English lessons as needed.
