Advanced Learning Schools
The Advanced Learning Schools (ALS) are private international day schools that provide an English language-based education.
ALS offers an accredited IB continuum program catering to both boys and girls, which spans from Kindergarten to grade 12 (provided the students meet the admission criteria). The three IB programs across various grade levels include: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) from KG1 to Grade 5, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Grade 6 to Grade 10, and the Diploma Programme (DP) designed for Grades 11 and 12. Notably, twenty percent of the curriculum encompasses Arabic studies, including Arabic Social Sudies, Arabic Language, and Islamic Studies.
The school year at ALS aligns with MOE guidelines and comprises three terms. School hours run from 7:10 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., Sunday through Thursday.
At ALS, the main focus is to foster an international environment that appreciates the culture, language, and heritage of the host nation. This approach ensures that while local students continue their integration and development within Saudi society, students from diverse cultural backgrounds gain firsthand exposure to their own culture. By embracing diversity, ALS facilitates an environment where all students benefit from a wealth of experiences, exposing them to a variety of cultures, new perspectives, and a multitude of differences around the world.
