International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) at American School
Dhahran, ISG Dammam, and ISG Jubail and (I)GCSE and A levels at British School

From its initial enrollment of six students to its present status as a
district of five schools with approximately ‎3,200 students, ISG has earned a
reputation for providing the highest quality American and British education.
Today, over ‎50 nationalities make up the ISG community.
Governance
The district is governed by a Board of Trustees, supported by school councils,
the U.S. Consulate General Dhahran, and is licensed by the Saudi Arabian
Ministry of Education.
Accreditation
Our schools are accredited by some of the top institutions in the world: the
Middle States Association Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-
CESS), British Schools of the Middle East (BSME), British Schools Overseas
(BSO), and the International Baccalaureate (IB).
Our Mission, Core Values, and Strategic Goals
We inspire innovation and compassionate action.
Respect, acceptance, integrity, responsibility … with a commitment to act.
ISG is committed to four strategic, school improvement goals. Three of these
are student-centered: ‎1) learner agency, ‎2) compassionate action and ‎3)
growing literacy. The fourth goal is an organizational capacity goal striving
for system coherence.
ISG Learns
Our schools are guided by our district mission, learning principles and
assessment beliefs. Our shared focus is further complemented by the diversity
of our community and core divisional curricula as we work in partnership with
the community to educate tomorrow's future leaders. ISG maintains an emphasis
on progressive teaching and learning. Curriculum and learning programs at ISG
are evaluated and reviewed cyclically, through current research and trends in
education. This ensures that our programs meet the highest standards of
excellence and are being implemented in the most effective way in the
classroom in order to enhance program outcomes and learning targets.
