★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Administration seems efficient. Primary teachers vary from poor to very good. I do not think it offers value for money at all. Overall the school suffers from issues endemic in Saudi society: racism ( in my experience from the Arab kids towards kids originating from Indian Subcontinent, even those born in UK ) and nepotism ( prime example- annual lavish theatre productions starring children of teachers, staff, ministers and royal family only).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The British International school of Jeddah is a very holistic and metropolitan school, containing a wide variety of people with very different stories to tell, so it does make for a very unique and altogether welcoming experience weather you are a very academic student or someone in the need of additional help, you can be sure that the school will provide your kids with what they need in order to develop academically as well as a person.
Regarding the School's facilities, you can be very sure that the school poses a wide range of activities such as the Model United Nations and sport competitions such as volleyball, basketball football as well as other less mainstream sports. Furthermore, the campus is very well equipped technologically, allowing pupils to use a wide variety of software including Macs and PCs.
Regarding the schools staff and their specialties, it is sad to report that both have significantly declined in quality due to budget cuts and an overactive administration pursuing their own personal agenda, meaning that sometimes these do interfere with teaching and was a major reason why past members of staff have decided to flee from the overbearing administration.
Overall, I can honestly say that despite my leaving of the school and it's community, this was honestly an amazing experience which both enriched my life experiences as well as giving me an academic boost thanks to very focused and attentive teaching methods which might as has been mentioned, not always be for everyone, so I thoroughly recommend you visit the school and get a feel for it before taking any advances towards enrolling your children.
Thanks, Matias Santacruz

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Its amazing, sometimes it is kinda hell but that just exam week. But if u want ur kids to be smart go to this school. All the teachers are kind in there own ways. Many trips to different countries like Italy ( that one is the best) and Switzerland and many more❤ so highly recommended school ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ WOW....like nice to see the review because the schools in Jeddah have better ratings than the schools in Riyadh. Honestly, the climate of Riyadh is Hot and Dry so also the people are Hot and Dry. Likewise, the weather in Jeddah is Humid, so people in the west of the Kingdom are much better than the central region and the eastern region. The British school in Jeddah is many times better than the British school in Jeddah. I think every branch of school in Jeddah is many times better than the branch of school in Riyadh.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I can't believe a single good review in here, I'm pretty sure many are fake. We've been with the school for 5 years, two children. Pre covid it was notoriously over-priced considering quality of facilities, such as the prison-like school cafeteria with frozen junk food. Post covid until today, the school is a disaster! First of all still extremely over priced even though it's fully online and the face time between students and teachers is limited to a total of less than 2h per day. Between these sessions students are to complete the tasks by themselves and this is where parents struggle most. There is a limited set time for questions in case of unclarity but this is handled by a random teacher. Despite maaaaany emails from unhappy parents, the school is still insisting that the overall feedback from parents is great and quickly shuns away any criticism or even constructive feedback. The school won't even disclose details on the teachers time schedule in between the very limited time sessions. What does this tell you?
This school is extremely mismanaged and the agenda is to squeeze out as much money from the parents with little to no value provided, no matter how much they lie about being a non profit school.
Do yourself a favor and steer away from these hypocrites at all costs!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ghetto. Wouldn't recommend. Students are emotionally manipulated and neglected by teachers and there are consistent scandals here. As a good students, my time at this school was littered with bad encounters with teachers and other students complaining about the same teachers (all these complaints falling on to the deaf ears of executive figures and leaders). Management and administration were incompetent at best. They took pictures of me without my consent and posted it on their Facebook page... disgusting.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have had my fair share of bad encounters with teachers in this school but people only see it for that. Realistically, This school is a safe and fun place to be in. I never thought I would say this but I enjoy learning here and never want to leave. This place I have been all my life
