In Brief
Beech Hall is worth considering for families who want IB or American track at a lower price than the major schools, particularly for younger children - but it is a school still building its senior cohort, and families with secondary-age students should ask hard questions about the Grade 12 timeline.
Beech Hall School Riyadh is operated by Blenheim Schools, part of Outcomes First Group, and launched in Riyadh as part of the city's rapid international school expansion. Located in Al Khuzama, it offers the IB and American curricula from Nursery through to Grade 11 in 2025-26, with Grade 12 arriving in September 2026. The principal from 2025-26, Louise Martin, takes over as the school moves into its key senior phase.
NEASC accreditation is in process - meaning the school is working toward a recognised international standard but has not yet achieved it. The Royal Commission for Riyadh City membership provides a degree of oversight. Fees are competitive for an IB-track school: SAR 40,000 for Nursery rising to SAR 95,000 for Grade 11 - well below AIS-R and BISR at secondary level. The student body is small at around 300, which gives the school a tighter community feel and smaller average class sizes than larger competitors.
Given the school's age and the fact that Grade 12 does not exist until September 2026, there are no IB Diploma results to evaluate. Families considering Beech Hall primarily for the IB Diploma or American AP pathway should request a detailed subject offering, teacher credentials, and the accreditation timeline at the admissions meeting.
What parents value
- –Fees are among the most competitive for an IB-track school in Riyadh, particularly at secondary level - SAR 85,000-95,000 versus over SAR 100,000 at BISR and AIS-R.
- –Dual curriculum option (IB or American) in a single school gives families flexibility - useful if siblings have already started different programmes.
- –Small school community (~300 students) with a tighter pastoral environment than larger campuses.
Points of consideration
- –No IB Diploma cohort has graduated yet; Grade 12 launches in September 2026. Families choosing the school for secondary outcomes are making a bet on potential, not a proven track record.
- –NEASC accreditation is in process, not yet awarded - this matters for some US university applications and for families from NEASC-recognising countries.
- –One-time registration fee of SAR 5,000 is straightforward, but confirm with the school whether tuition fees include 15% VAT or are quoted exclusive of it.
