Aldenham Prep School Riyadh provides day education for boys and girls aged 3-13, fostering growth and creativity in a supportive environment. As a member of the Aldenham Education Group, Aldenham Prep Riyadh is closely linked with Aldenham School in the UK, which has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1597. Students have the advantage of a seamless educational journey from ages 3 to 18, emphasizing holistic development. We are excited to extend this high standard of education to Riyadh, with strong connections between the two institutions. In an increasingly interconnected world, these cross-cultural links are vital in preparing our children for their future. Our Mission Statement reflects our commitment: "At Aldenham Prep School, we create a joyful, nurturing, and welcoming atmosphere where quality learning occurs, and the unique needs of each child are met." The school is committed to providing the flexibility necessary for each child to cultivate their own talents and academic strengths while embracing new challenges. In essence, we deliver exceptional educational standards that support the development of diverse skills, whether academic, artistic, or athletic. We present our students with remarkable opportunities, placing them at the core of everything we do. The children are Aldenham. Our Key Aims include: - Inspiring a love for learning that leads to academic excellence and a comprehensive education for all students. - Building strong relationships and collaboration among staff, students, parents, and the broader community. - Ensuring that each student is nurtured and encouraged to realize their unique talents. - Highlighting the significance of social, moral, and spiritual aspects of community life in today’s society. - Providing a well-structured, organized environment that offers rich and stimulating experiences. We are committed to a diverse curriculum that promotes the all-around talents of each child. This approach includes enhancing academic, creative, and sporting dimensions of school life while nurturing children's natural curiosity to instill a lifelong passion for learning. Our curriculum encompasses English, Maths, and Science, along with ICT, Art, Design Technology, Geography, and History. Students also benefit from specialized instruction in Drama, Music, PE & Games (including swimming). To align with our local Riyadh context, the Aldenham curriculum incorporates Arabic language, Islamic Studies, and Social Studies as essential elements. While our curriculum is fundamentally British and based on our UK School's framework, we ensure it is appropriately contextualized for our setting in the Kingdom. Arabic language instruction begins in Lower School and is taught by subject specialists. For more insights into what Riyadh has to offer, please click HERE to read Aldenham's blog.

Major sports offered include Football, Netball, Hockey, Cricket, and Basketball, while students also have opportunities to engage in various minor sports such as Badminton, Climbing, and Trampolining. About Aldenham in the UK: Aldenham School, the flagship of the Aldenham Foundation, has been a beacon of academic excellence since its establishment in 1597. With a rich history, it combines timeless traditions and universal values with a progressive culture that sets it apart from its peers. At Aldenham, we recognize that achievement is personal—whether it’s gaining entry to an Oxbridge college, reaching a sporting or cultural milestone, or simply growing into a well-rounded individual. Our dedicated teaching staff is central to this mission, guiding students to focus on their individual goals while we support their development. Established in 1596 when Queen Elizabeth I granted royal approval to Richard Platt, a nobleman and philanthropist, Aldenham School laid its foundation stone in 1597. The school has always emphasized comprehensive education, prioritizing the development of body, mind, and spirit. This commitment to educating the whole child remains a hallmark of our institution even centuries later. Aldenham School in the UK has been nurturing students on its historic site, conveniently located near central London, offering easy access to the capital's vast resources. An Aldenham education beautifully blends history and tradition with a contemporary focus, using our rich heritage to equip students for the future.
