Students sit international GCSEs in Grade 10 and A-levels in Grade 12. Saudi National Identity subjects are taught within the Ministry of Education's framework in every grade, and students applying to Saudi universities sit the national Tahsili and Qudrat exams in Grades 11 and 12 respectively.

Students are encouraged to enter local and international competitions and Olympiads throughout their time at school. All Grade 11s complete a formal internship leading to an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), and study for the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Level 2 Award in Team Leading. The graduate qualification is the Misk Schools Diploma, validated by Cambridge University Press & Assessment.

The Class of 2026 A-level results were: 43% A*, 68% A*–A , and 94% A*–B. Alumni have gone on to study at leading Saudi institutions including KFUPM and King Saud University, as well as at some of the world’s top universities including MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, University College London, University of Manchester and King's College London.

A tailored, personalised approach and low student-to-teacher ratio (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.

Each of our nine school buildings has a library, art and design studios, Arabic culture hubs, IT suite, music room, science and food technology labs as well as a kitchen for the culinary arts.

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.

Whole school facilities include professional-style auditoriums (the largest of which can seat up to 850) and an exhibition gallery for cultural showcases.

The school’s 21-hectare, purpose-built campus was opened in 2023, and rivals any of the best schools around the world. Sports facilities include 25m and 50m Olympic swimming pools, a sports hall with 12 multi-purpose courts, a martial arts dojo, a 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.

Misk Schools is a pioneering, private K–12 day school for boys and girls in Riyadh that aims to prepare the next generation of leaders. It exists to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by instilling in students the knowledge, values and skills they need to grow into leaders of themselves, of others and in their field of study.

Founded in 2016 by HRH Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, Misk Schools aspires to push forward the frontier of innovation in education, with a focus on approaches that enable students to become high performing and inquisitive critical thinkers, equipped with the knowledge, spirit and ambition to have a positive impact on their nation and the world. It was named one of the top 150 private schools globally – and in the top 15 in the Middle East – by The Schools Index 2025/26, an annual publication from global education group, Carfax Education.

Our core academic curriculum is delivered in partnership with Cambridge International Education, the world’s largest provider of international education for three- to 19-year olds, and part of the University of Cambridge, UK.

We teach using the High Performance Learning (HPL) philosophy, which is based on the premise that all students can achieve high levels of academic performance – once seen as the domain of the very few – and that they are equipped with the values, attitudes and attributes that will serve them well at university, and as future leaders. We are Saudi Arabia's only accredited HPL World Class School.

Our curriculum is delivered in both English and Arabic. All students are expected to leave us able to communicate fluently and with persuasion in both languages.
