About

Opened in September 2022, Downe House Riyadh provides a world class education in partnership with an authentic girls-only private school from the UK.

With over a century of experience, Downe House is one of the UK’s most celebrated all-girls’ schools. It consistently ranks amongst the country’s top five schools of its kind.

Located towards the north of Riyadh in the prominent neighbourhood of Aqeeq, Downe House Riyadh offers a British curriculum based on the tradition and expertise from Downe House UK. The curriculum will be sensitively adapted for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, ensuring girls will excel in Arabic language and Islamic Studies, alongside other subjects.

Links between the UK school and Downe House Riyadh are genuine and strong both in philosophy and practice. A Downe House education is unique; at the heart of its ethos is the individual. We understand that each girl has her own distinctive strengths, challenges and interests, and every learning pathway will be bespoke.

Downe House Riyadh has a state-of-the-art campus housing some of the finest school facilities in Saudi Arabia. These include dedicated libraries, central atriums, Science Labs, Art and Design Labs, a 450-seat theatre, music, dance and drama studios, classrooms and practice rooms, IT labs, and indoor senior and learner swimming pools. ...Show less
