EtonHouse International Education Group, a prominent international education organization based in Singapore, is expanding its reach into Saudi Arabia with the introduction of EtonHouse International Education Arabia. In partnership with the Royal Commission for Riyadh City, the group will establish two purpose-built campuses in Granada, Riyadh, set to open in September 2025.

The new educational facilities will include the EtonHouse International Pre-School, which is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and designed for children aged 18 months to 6 years. This preschool aims to foster early curiosity through inquiry and play. Additionally, EtonHouse will launch a K-12 international school that provides a comprehensive academic pathway leading to IGCSEs and A-Levels, focusing on long-term, future-ready learning. Parents interested in exploring the new campus can book tours in August 2025, ahead of the registration period for the 2025/2026 academic year.

These campuses mark a significant milestone in the educational transformation of Saudi Arabia. They will be the first Reggio Emilia-inspired schools in the country, incorporating renowned teaching methodologies, bilingual immersion, and a design that aligns with Saudi cultural values and the nation’s Vision 2030. The campuses will provide a global education experience modeled on Singaporean educational excellence, emphasizing personalized learning and well-being, as well as multilingual and cross-cultural immersion.

The facilities at the Riyadh campuses are designed to reflect Saudi Arabia’s rich history and culture while adhering to the Reggio Emilia philosophy. The preschool will feature open-ended, inquiry-driven environments, including a media and light studio, an indoor playground, an atelier, and a piazza aimed at fostering creativity and collaboration.

In contrast, the international school will offer expanded facilities, including a swimming pool, a science lab known as the Living Lab, and an outdoor football field, all designed to support both academic and physical development for older students.

Notable learning spaces within the campuses include the Elemental Landscape, where children can explore desert and oasis ecosystems using tools like microscopes and clay to develop scientific thinking and ecological awareness. Another space, the Architecture Space, draws inspiration from Saudi heritage and encourages hands-on experimentation with light and structure to enhance spatial and mathematical understanding.

EtonHouse has over 30 years of experience and operates more than 100 schools worldwide, gaining recognition for its child-centered, culturally fluent, and future-ready educational approach. The Riyadh campuses will offer internationally recognized programs, including the UK International Primary Curriculum (IPC), Singapore Mathematics, Cambridge IGCSEs, and International A-Levels, delivered by native-speaking educators in both English and Arabic, with Mandarin available as an additional language.

Mr. Ng Yi-Xian, Group CEO of EtonHouse, emphasized that the launch in Riyadh aligns with the organization’s mission to provide world-class, inquiry-based education relevant to local contexts. He noted that Saudi Arabia is making significant investments in its youth, and EtonHouse is proud to contribute by establishing schools that blend global excellence with the Kingdom’s cultural values. He stated, “These campuses will not just serve students, but inspire a generation of learners who are confident, multilingual, and future-ready.”

Both schools will prioritize the holistic development of children, focusing on emotional well-being, life skills, and personalized learning pathways. The preschool will offer a nurturing, play-based environment encouraging children to inquire, explore, and direct their learning journeys. The K-12 international school will combine academic rigor with social-emotional learning and community engagement, providing dedicated facilities and bilingual classrooms to support each child’s potential.

Parents in Riyadh are invited to schedule school tours at [https://info.etonhouse.edu.sa/bookatour](https://info.etonhouse.edu.sa/bookatour) to experience the first EtonHouse campus in Riyadh and to register for the upcoming academic year. Families will have the opportunity to meet the school’s leadership team, engage with educators, and explore the transformative environments designed to nurture every child’s potential.
