Frequently asked questions
How is a national (Ahliya) school different from a government school here?
Both follow the Ministry-approved Saudi curriculum, but national schools in Riyadh are privately funded and usually offer smaller classes, extra activities, and added services in exchange for tuition fees.Are these schools taught in Arabic?
Yes. The Saudi curriculum is delivered primarily in Arabic with English taught as a subject, making it a strong fit for families who want a national track aligned with the Qudrat and Tahsili exams.
