We are pleased to share that Ms. Jennifer Cypra will be taking on the role of ASD elementary school assistant principal, starting August 1, 2026.

On February 4, we were delighted to welcome partner companies and organizations to the ISG Dhahran campus for our first ISG Key Partners Program event.

At ISG, we believe meaningful partnerships are developed through interaction and connection. This gathering created space for open dialogue, shared insight and relationship-building, helping us strengthen long-term, strategic collaborations that support our students, families and the wider community. The roundtable discussions were especially valuable, offering perspectives that will help shape how we work together moving forward.

We are grateful to all who joined us and contributed so thoughtfully. We look forward to continuing these conversations and deepening partnerships rooted in shared purpose and impact.

We are pleased to share that ISG has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with KBR, one of our key partners for learning..

This agreement reflects a shared commitment to collaboration and long-term partnership, creating opportunities to strengthen connections between education, industry and community. While this marks an important first step, we look forward to exploring meaningful ways to work together that support learning, innovation and future-focused opportunities for students and families.

We value partnerships that are built on trust, shared purpose and impact, and we are excited about what lies ahead with KBR.

Re-enrollment for the upcoming school year began on February 8 and will close on March 8. ISG families should have received a personalized re-enrollment link through OpenApply to begin the process.

Thank you for the trust you place in ISG and for being an important part of our learning community. Should you have any questions or need assistance, our enrollment team is happy to support you at enrollment@isg.edu.sa. We look forward to continuing this journey together.

This week our spotlight is on Grade 10 and Year 11 at ISG. Please see this presentation for an exciting glimpse into our math classrooms on each campus.

Each week, we’re shining a spotlight on learning across ISG by featuring a different grade level from our schools. Through these weekly highlights, we’ll take you inside our classrooms to show how learning comes to life,  from hands-on projects and critical thinking to collaboration and creativity.

Our goal is to celebrate our students’ curiosity and hard work while giving parents a closer look at the value of an ISG education, where every lesson, discussion and experience is designed to inspire growth, confidence and a lifelong love of learning.

We’re excited to invite our ISG community to two alumni reunion events.

These special gatherings welcome graduates, former staff and anyone who has studied or worked at ISG to reconnect and celebrate the shared experiences that have shaped our community.

ISG will transition to Ramadan working hours beginning February 17, in alignment with the Kingdom-wide practice of adjusting hours to observe the holy month of Ramadan. School and workday hours will be as follows:

  • Students:  9:30 a.m. -2:30 p.m.

This change reflects national guidance and supports the wellbeing of our community during this important time. 

In order to ensure families have valuable and timely information, please ensure that your personal contact information, including phone numbers, email addresses and emergency contacts, is up to date with ISG. Having accurate information allows us to communicate with you effectively and reach out to you timely for your children in the event of an emergency.

With the change to using personal email addresses as of August 1, you may need to provide contact updates to ISG.  If so, please make any updates by reaching out to the campus office for your child at your earliest convenience.

The Sara Village School community came together for this year’s International Day, held on Monday,  February 9. This annual celebration is a meaningful reminder of the rich diversity that defines our school and the strength that comes from learning alongside and from one another.

The day began with a joyful Parade of Nations, as students proudly represented their cultures in front of families, followed by the whole school coming together in song. A particularly special moment was the beautiful performance of the Saudi Arabian National Anthem by brothers Hakeem (Year 2) and Usayd (Reception), which was received with great pride and appreciation.

Parents then joined students and staff for a Feast of Nations, showcasing the traditions, flavors and hospitality of our international community. The atmosphere throughout the day was one of joy and shared celebration.

Sincere appreciation goes to the parents who generously prepared food and hosted country stands, enriching the experience for all. Thanks to Mrs. Thorpe and Mrs. Smith for their thoughtful planning and leadership, Ms. O’Toole for guiding the event with warmth and energy and to all of our teachers and staff whose support made the day truly memorable.

Events like International Day beautifully reflect our values of belonging, respect and global understanding, and I am grateful to everyone who helped make this celebration so special for our students and families.
