As an integral part of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, located on the shores of the Red Sea, The KAUST School has access to outstanding resources and unique opportunities. We are a diverse, coeducational Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12 international school that serves the KAUST community.
Living in KAUST offers eligible families access to The KAUST School—a modern, innovative learning environment that brings together the best of four distinct school divisions, all on one vibrant campus.
From Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12, we proudly offer the full continuum of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Our Lower Elementary division is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, nurturing curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. As students progress through the school, personalized learning pathways ensure that every learner is both supported and challenged. In high school, all students complete the TKS Diploma, with many also pursuing the full IB Diploma or a customized combination of courses from both pathways.
True to our mission, we aim to provide an exceptional education that empowers our students to be resourceful and responsible global citizens. We focus on maintaining high academic standards whilst developing the whole child, and nurture their sense of belonging and well-being.
Our inclusive activities program empowers our students to engage positively and become well-rounded, adaptable members of the TKS community and broader society. Students can thrive, pursue their passions, take on challenges and develop lifelong skills, all within a nurturing environment.
