Primary School

Welcome

A very warm welcome to the Primary School of the British International School of Jeddah (BISJ). It is our pleasure to be a part of your child’s life and so involved as partners in their education.

Attending Primary School is a special time in a child’s life. Our children have a wonderful opportunity here at BISJ to meet children from over sixty different nationalities, learn about and respect their cultures and make lifelong friends.

School is not just about learning facts from textbooks, at BISJ we aim to develop the whole child, taking into account their individual needs giving them a love of learning. As partners with your family we work hard to enable our children to develop emotionally, socially, physically, morally, creatively as well as academically.

Our goal is to help children become independent, lifelong learners through being:

• Communicators.
• Knowledgeable.
• Thinkers.
• Inquirers.
• Open-minded.
• Well-balanced.
• Caring.
• Reflective.
• Risk Takers.
• Principled.

We trust that the coming pages will hold answers to any questions you may have, but should you find that you require additional information then please do not hesitate to contact the school.
