NNS - International Program

Dear Parents,

At Najd National Schools (NNS), we “will bring about change in our educational programs, instructional approaches, learning experience, and academic support strategies in order to serve the interests of our students.” When the children feel support and care, they will strive to succeed.

Our national exams success and academic performance of our students at local and international universities place us in the top educational tier in Riyadh. We target the highest international standards for our students, with an enriched American curriculum, with a focus on Islamic values and Arabic language. The curriculum is designed to empower students to set authentic goals, explore, develop new ideas, and reflect on their academic progress in a secure equal-opportunity environment that respects diversity

From their earliest ages, NNS students are loved and develop a love for learning. We introduce them to the joys of inquiry, curiosity, and the science of learning. At NNS, excellence means stretching and extending personal limits. We help students learn resiliency in a world requiring such ability. As their horizons broaden, they internalize habits of daily growth as well as their sense of responsibility to family, community, and the world. By graduation, our students are prepared as self-driven and reflective individuals who embrace ethical practices.
