Blenheim Schools has established itself as the market leader in designing and delivering pioneering, fully inclusive international schools that genuinely change the mindsets of communities and the futures of children of all abilities.
Beech Hall School Riyadh (BHSR) stands out as our proof of concept, demonstrating how we can design and launch bespoke international schools tailored to any market or government-identified need or long-term strategy, such as Saudi Vision 2030.
Blenheim Schools opened BHSR in August 2022 after only being commissioned to operate the school in May 2022. BHSR has grown exponentially from 50 children to over 500 in just over two years, serving as a case study for our ability to successfully develop and implement a truly innovative and sector-changing educational offer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
BHSR represents a groundbreaking initiative in international education, established under the Royal Commission for Riyadh City’s International Schools Attraction Programme. This programme brings world-class schools to Riyadh in collaboration with the Ministry of Investment and Ministry of Education. BHSR is the first and only school with a fully inclusive approach international school approved by the RCRC in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The school is the realisation of Mr Fawaz Alhokair’s vision to create a bespoke, innovative educational institution that integrates Saudi heritage and culture while offering an international curriculum. This vision has been actualised by Blenheim Schools, a renowned UK-based education provider. BHSR is a sister school to Beech Hall School in Cheshire, UK, which boasts a century of heritage and achievement.
BHSR’s facilities are world-class, featuring a purpose-built design developed in collaboration with Space Zero, leading design experts. The school’s environment is designed to be light, airy, and inspiring, fostering a co-creative atmosphere for students. Every element of the school is designed to ensure that children are at the centre of every decision, promoting happiness, confidence, and the ability to reach their potential.
Central to BHSR’s educational approach is the Blenheim Schools Tapestry and a dual path curriculum. All pupils follow the International Curriculum until Grade 9, after which they can choose between the American High School Diploma and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. These pathways offer broad, balanced educational experiences recognised globally by leading universities. Additionally, BHSR provides a comprehensive Arabic and Islamic Studies curriculum, aligning with the Ministry of Education’s standards and reflecting the school’s commitment to Saudi culture. The curriculum framework focuses on key areas essential for students to be confident and future-ready. The curriculum and academic pathways have been designed to ensure every child is enabled to achieve their own outstanding future when they leave BHSR.
