About

Offering an exemplary American educational experience with an international perspective to all who wish to join.

Our Campus

In 2024, AISY took over a purpose-built building in the Royal Commission area of Yanbu. We have begun extensive renovations to bring the facility up to our high standards, ensuring it reflects our commitment to providing a world-class learning environment.

We are excited to welcome families for Open Houses starting in April 2025, offering a chance to explore the campus and learn more about our programs. The school will be fully operational by August 2025, ready to serve scholars from Pre-K through Grad

The renovated campus will provide an exceptional backdrop for a scholar-centered, American learning experience. Facilities will include modern, spacious classrooms designed for collaboration and exploration, as well as purposefully designed spaces to support young learners’ academic and developmental needs.

We look forward to building a vibrant school community in Yanbu and cannot wait to open our doors to families in the coming months.
