ISG Dammam Successfully Re-accredited by the MSA

We are proud to share that on April 30 the visiting Middle States Association (MSA) accreditation team has verbally recommended ISG Dammam, along with each of the ISG schools, for re-accreditation for the next seven years.

ISG Dammam proudly hosted the MSA re-accreditation team on April 28 – a major milestone in our school’s journey of continuous improvement. The visit marked the culmination of a two-year self-study process, reflecting our commitment to transparency, reflection and growth.

The visiting team, composed of eight education professionals—including current teachers, school leaders and retired experts—engaged with our faculty, students, staff and parents through interviews and observations. Their goal: to gain an honest and comprehensive understanding of how our school functions and to validate the work we’ve done in our self-study.

Guided by three strategic pillars—High-Quality Learning, Wellbeing and Belonging, and Professional Excellence—our school community showcased not only its strengths, but also its determination to keep evolving. From collaborative planning and curriculum development to technology integration and positive school culture, each conversation highlighted our dedication to student success and meaningful progress.

Staff members spoke thoughtfully about their roles, referencing policies, data and day-to-day practices. The team was especially impressed with our alignment between vision and action, and our ability to clearly articulate strengths and areas for growth. Whether discussing classroom instruction, IT improvements, library services, or student wellbeing, every voice reflected a shared purpose and a unified vision.

The process wasn't about perfection—it was about authenticity. It gave us a chance to celebrate how far we've come, to spotlight the systems and supports we’ve put in place, and to reaffirm our dedication to continuous improvement.

A special thank you goes to Mr. Trevor Naidoo, whose leadership and preparation ensured that our entire team felt informed, confident and supported throughout the process.

As we await the formal report, one thing is clear: ISG Dammam has once again demonstrated its commitment to empowering educators, inspiring students and building a future focused on compassion, innovation, and excellence.
