In brief
Brand new CBSE school in the Malaz district, opened May 2024 as the Riyadh outpost of the Bait Al-Salah group that also runs Delhi Private School Riyadh and Buds Private School Dhahran.
The Bait Al-Salah link is the reason families took it seriously from day one. Delhi Private School Riyadh is one of the better-regarded Indian-curriculum options in the city, and Dunes is being positioned as a sister campus aimed at the same community. Year one ran from nursery to Grade 5 only, and the school filled its first hundred seats inside the first fortnight, which tells you about Indian-curriculum demand in Riyadh more than it tells you about Dunes specifically.
Early-parent voice is positive on warmth, cleanliness and personal attention to younger children. Nothing of substance yet on academics, secondary, or how the school holds up once it scales beyond primary. Families considering Dunes are essentially betting on the operator's track record at DPS Riyadh and accepting that real signal is two or three years out.
