Misk Schools
A Flagship School for the Kingdom and the Region. Founded by HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in 2016, a state-of-the-art, private day school for boys and girls in Riyadh, that aims to prepare the next generation of leaders.
It aspires to push forward the frontier of innovation in education, with a focus on approaches that enable students to grow into high performing, inquisitive, problem-solving learners who have the spirit to become future leaders and exemplary citizens of the world. As it grows, the school will play an increasingly important role in the Kingdom’s journey towards strengthening the three pillars of Vision 2030: A Vibrant Society; A Thriving Economy, and an Ambitious Nation.
Curriculum
The curriculum is underpinned by personalised learning and delivered using the High-Performance-Learning (HPL) philosophy. HPL is based on the premise that all students can achieve high levels of academic performance – once seen as the domain of the very few – and that they are equipped with the values, attitudes and attributes that will serve them well at university, and as future leaders.
Alongside Saudi National Identity Subjects, students prepare for IGCSEs in Grades 9 and 10 and then follow an international A-level or BTEC pathway during Grades 11 and 12. All students in Grade 9 and above undertake bespoke internships and accredited leadership programmes. Throughout their school career, students are encouraged to compete regularly in local and international competitions and Olympiads.
PreK–12 Schools
After PreK and Kindergarten, there are separate boys and girls schools at each level as follows: Lower Primary (Grades 1 to 3), Upper Primary (Grades 4 to 6); Middle School (Grades 7 and 8), and Senior School (Grades 9 to 12).
Small class sizes with a maximum of 15 students ensure that every student benefits from a personalised timetable designed to maximise his or her unique potential. Currently, student numbers sit at over 500 up to Grade 11. Enrolment will rise progressively to 1,020.
Campus
The school’s new, purpose-built campus rivals any of the best schools around the world. With outstanding facilities for all subjects taught, including specialist STEM and creative spaces, it also includes extensive performance and sports facilities with multiple auditoria, athletics tracks and sports fields, several swimming pools, a golf academy, equestrian sports, and facilities for e-gaming, archery and e-karting.
The campus is located in Mohammed Bin Salman Nonprofit City – a new district in Riyadh developing as a leading hub for innovation, education, culture and media.
