In a groundbreaking move, Saudi Arabia will establish 166 “schools without walls” as part of a nationwide initiative aimed at promoting community education beyond traditional classroom settings. This project was announced by Tatweer Building Company (TBC), the infrastructure arm of the Ministry of Education.

These innovative schools will be built in residential areas developed by the National Housing Company (NHC) across six major cities: Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Al Ihsa, Tabuk, and Medina. The facilities will be available to the community after school hours, transforming them into hubs for educational, cultural, and recreational activities.

Designed with a modern architectural vision, these schools will feature open layouts that foster connections between the campus and the surrounding neighborhoods. Each facility will be integrated into community centers, reinforcing their role as accessible gathering places that encourage lifelong learning and social engagement, in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals aimed at enhancing the quality of life.
