Aldenham School Riyadh will open its doors to prospective families on Saturday 16th May 2026 at 10.30am, offering a carefully curated Open Day designed to give parents and pupils a meaningful insight into the school’s distinctive educational approach.
Taking place at the school’s purpose-built campus in As Sahafa, Riyadh, the event will provide families with the opportunity to experience first-hand what makes Aldenham a distinctive choice within the Kingdom’s international school landscape. Guests will be invited to explore the campus, meet senior leaders and teachers, and engage with the school’s academic, pastoral and co-curricular provision in a warm and welcoming setting.
The morning will begin with a welcome from the Headmaster and members of the Senior Leadership Team, who will share the school’s vision, ethos and educational philosophy. Parents will also hear from pupils and families, offering an authentic perspective on daily life at Aldenham School Riyadh and the values that shape the school community.
Throughout the event, visitors will be able to experience the school in action through a range of carefully planned opportunities. These include visits to classrooms and specialist learning spaces such as Computing, Arabic and Islamic Studies, the Library, Art and DT, EYFS and SEND provision. Families will also gain insight into the school’s sports and co-curricular programme, including PE, Music, Dance and Swimming, as well as its broader approach to enrichment, wellbeing and pastoral care.
The Open Day will also highlight the school’s academic pathways, including progression towards Cambridge IGCSEs and A Levels, helping families understand how Aldenham School Riyadh combines strong academic foundations with clear preparation for future success. This reflects the school’s wider commitment to a structured British education that balances academic rigour with character development, personal growth and individual care.
As part of Aldenham Education Group, the school benefits from a direct connection to Aldenham UK, founded in 1597and recognised for more than 428 years of academic excellence. Aldenham School Riyadh is presented not as a franchise but as a true owner-operated extension of the founding school, bringing with it a legacy of high standards, strong pastoral values and a forward-thinking educational culture.
Families attending the Open Day will also have the opportunity to discover how the school blends academic ambition with exceptional pastoral care, a strong sense of community and an all-round educational experience inspired by the best of British independent schooling.
