The first choice for German-speaking families

The German International School Riyadh is a piece of home away from home and at the same time a school with a clear educational mission.

We stand for German educational quality with international openness and reliably accompany children from kindergarten through the Mittlerer Schulabschluss (intermediate school leaving certificate) according to KMK guidelines, up to Sekundarstufe II (upper secondary level) in the form of the Bilingual International Baccalaureate (GIB). Our students learn according to German educational standards, with a strong German language foundation and in an international environment that offers security, orientation, and perspectives – regardless of whether their educational path leads from Germany to Riyadh or later back.
