About Saudi School Kuala Lumpur

Saudi School Kuala Lumpur is one of a network of Saudi government schools that the Saudi Ministry of Education operates in countries with significant Saudi expatriate populations. The campus in Ulu Kelang, Taman Zooview, Ampang has served the Saudi and Arab community in the Kuala Lumpur region for decades, providing continuity for families on overseas postings.

The school covers primary and secondary levels. All instruction is in Arabic, and the academic calendar, textbooks, and examinations follow the Saudi national system rather than the Malaysian one. This means students can transfer between Saudi School KL and schools in Saudi Arabia without disruption to their studies.

Curriculum at Saudi School Kuala Lumpur

Saudi School Kuala Lumpur delivers the Saudi Arabian national curriculum across all year groups. The programme mirrors what students would study in government schools in Riyadh, Jeddah, or Dammam. Core subjects include Arabic language and literature, Islamic studies, mathematics, science (physics, chemistry, biology at secondary level), social studies, and English as a foreign language.

The academic year follows the Saudi calendar, not the Malaysian one. Examinations are standardised and moderated by the Saudi Ministry of Education. Secondary graduates sit for the Thanawiyyah Ammah, the Saudi general secondary certificate, which qualifies them for university admission in Saudi Arabia and other Arab states.
