The Singapore-headquartered EtonHouse International Education Group has expanded into ����ֱ�� with the launch of EtonHouse International Education Arabia.

In partnership with the Royal Commission for Riyadh City, it will launch two purpose-built campuses in Granada, Riyadh in September.

The first school is EtonHouse International Pre-School, a Reggio Emilia-inspired bilingual preschool for children aged 18 months to six years, designed to nurture early curiosity through inquiry and play.

The second is a K–12 international school offering a full academic pathway through to IGCSEs and A-Levels, built to support long-term, future-ready learning.

The campuses represent a major milestone in ����ֱ��’s education transformation, being the first Reggio Emilia-inspired schools, bringing world-renowned pedagogies, bilingual immersion, and community-focused design into a local context deeply aligned with Saudi cultural values and Vision 2030.

EtonHouse’s two new campuses feature thoughtfully curated learning environments inspired by ����ֱ��’s rich history, culture and landscapes, all rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach in the early years and primary.

At the pre-school, children will explore open-ended, inquiry-driven spaces including a media and light studio, indoor playground, atelier, and piazza designed to foster creativity and collaboration.

At the international school, older students will benefit from expanded facilities that include a swimming pool, a science lab (Living Lab), and an outdoor football field, supporting both academic and physical development.

Examples of EtonHouse’s unique learning spaces include:

• The Elemental Landscape, where children explore desert and oasis environments using microscopes, clay, and digital tools to spark scientific thinking and ecological awareness.

• The Architecture Space, inspired by Saudi heritage, encourages hands-on experimentation with light, shadow, and structure to develop spatial and mathematical understanding.

• The Living Heritage Space, immerses children in local traditions through materials like mineral pigments, cardamom, and saffron, blending culture with creative exploration.

With more than 30 years of experience and 100+ schools globally, EtonHouse is renowned for delivering world-class education grounded in child agency, cultural fluency, and future readiness. The Riyadh campuses will offer internationally recognized programs including the UK International Primary Curriculum, Singapore Mathematics, Cambridge IGCSEs, and International A-Levels, all delivered by native-speaking educators in both English and Arabic. The school will also offer Mandarin as an additional language.

Ng Yi-Xian, group CEO of EtonHouse, said: “Our launch in Riyadh is a natural evolution of EtonHouse’s mission to offer world-class, inquiry-based education rooted in local relevance. ����ֱ�� is investing boldly in its youth, and we are proud to contribute by creating schools that combine global excellence with the cultural values and ambitions of the Kingdom.

These campuses will not just serve students, but inspire a generation of learners who are confident, multilingual, and future-ready.”

In line with EtonHouse’s commitment to whole-child development, both schools will place strong emphasis on emotional well-being, life skills, and personalized learning pathways.
