Misk Schools

Technology is used to support and enrich teaching and learning at all levels. Gaming, AI and robotics are areas of particular area of focus, supported through partnerships with the Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) and Stanford University, among others.

We offer over 100 different activities both on and off campus, in a variety of different disciplines including: • Sports • STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) • Art, Design, Performance and Language • Leadership, National Identity, Service and Business • Academic Study Skills

Each of our nine school buildings has a library, art and design studios, science and food technology labs, Arabic culture hubs, IT suite, music room and a kitchen in support of the school’s “farm to table” initiative. As students mature, the specification of facilities becomes more sophisticated. In STEM, the older students have access to specialised, multidisciplinary workshops for coding and robotics, as well as mechanical, electrical, systems and control engineering (mechatronics). In culture and the arts, there are filmmaking and digital editing suites, as well as two black box theatres complete with high tech audio-visual production hubs and lighting rigs, while the culinary arts are supported by a Master Chef-style kitchen. Whole school facilities include three professional-style auditoriums (the largest of which can seat up to 850) and an exhibition gallery for cultural showcases.

A total of 24 Summer Olympic sports are catered for, together with e-sports. Included are specialist academies for golf, go-karting, and equestrian. Alongside 25m and 50m Olympic swimming pools, there is a learn-to-swim pool, a sports hall with 12 multi-purpose courts, gymnastics hall, two FIFA standard synthetic grass pitches and two 400m Olympic athletics tracks. In addition, there are numerous outdoor and indoor areas for low impact exercise, all set in a landscaped environment planted with over 1,000 trees.

A tailored, personalised approach and low student-to-teacher ration (max 15 per class) allow us to identify and build individual talents. Alongside our own rich and diverse range of classes designed to develop skills and aptitudes, we also work closely with Mawhiba, Saudi Arabia's Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity. Mawhiba runs a series of programmes and competitions that nurture giftedness and creativity through advanced supplementary curricula tailored to the abilities, needs, interests, and scientific inclinations of students.
