Khaled International School

Established American-curriculum and IB World School in the Ar Rabwa district, founded in 1995 and part of the Lebanon-based LWIS network since 2012, with Cognia accreditation since 2013.

Khaled, locally referred to as KiS, runs from KG1 to Grade 12 with English, Arabic, French and Mandarin in the curriculum, AP courses for Grades 11 and 12, and the IB Diploma Programme at the top end. The LWIS network connection brings cross-school resources and a shared academic spine across campuses in Lebanon and the Gulf, and the IB World School status gives the senior years a clear university pathway alongside the AP track.

Parent voice praises strong teacher relationships, an active PTA and a school leadership that runs an open-door policy in practice rather than just the brochure. The fee level draws comment, with a recurring view that the offering is solid but priced at the higher end of what mid-tier US-curriculum schools in Riyadh charge. The Ar Rabwa location is a practical strength for families on the eastern side of the city.
