Your dedication and enthusiasm mean so much to us, and we are grateful for the time and care you have already invested. We are excited to come together and celebrate the rich cultures and homes that make our community so special.

AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY FOR FUTURE ENGINEERS

RECOGNIZING ASD STUDENT POWERLIFTING CHAMPION
We are proud to celebrate ASD student Mohamed’s remarkable success at the Kingdom National Powerlifting Championship in Riyadh, where he earned four gold medals, one silver medal and set three Saudi national records.
SUPPORTING CHILDREN THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES AND CRISIS
During times of stress, crisis, or unexpected change, children often look to their families for safety, guidance, and emotional stability. We are certainly experiencing a time like that now. Reflected in our commitment to student wellbeing and belonging, creating a supportive environment at home helps children navigate difficult circumstances with resilience.
CLASS SPOTLIGHT ON KG2 & YEAR 1
This week, we are taking a glimpse inside the KG 2 and Year 1 classrooms.
There is meaningful learning happening in classrooms across ISG every day, and we want to make more of it visible. ISG class spotlights highlight learning experiences from across our campuses. Each spotlight will offer a glimpse into what students are exploring, creating and learning.
CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS DURING OCTOBER BREAK
The October break provided an opportunity to complete several facilities improvements across our campuses. These improvements may vary in scale, but each contributes to a safer, more functional and welcoming environment for our students and staff. Thank you to our Operations and Facilities team and everyone involved in completing this work during the break. Their efforts help us continue to care for and improve the spaces where our community learns and works.
