The school is supposed to be offered solid structured education considering its overprice, unfortunately the level of education they provide is way behind, they have very high turnover in the level of the management and teachers. Some teachers complain of the low pay they get although they are the second highest fees in Saudi Arabia.
The school is increasing their prices on annual base and their level of education is decreasing on annual base as well.
I have a Y11 GCSE son and Y9, both are having issues to cope with the subjects and have repeatedly complained regarding the lack of knowledge of the teachers.
We have ended myself and my friends who have their sons studying in the school to hire private tutors which compound, those private tutors are already are working with other schools in Riyadh and their level of knowledge and expertise way higher than what BISR have. Shame!

BISR is an amazing and absolutely fantastic school where everyone of every gender, race, and religion can feel welcomed. The smile on every teacher and/or tutor’s face is completely genuine and they love what they do. It is an absolutely phenomenal experience and I really recommend it to anyone seeking a good education as well as people who care about the safety and well-being of others, as it is the safest possible environment.
