Destination Riyadh

First and foremost, working at AIS-R and interacting with the AIS-R community is very rewarding. As an AIS-R employee, you will be working with dynamic and experienced colleagues from all over the world who bring a passion for learning and for life to campus every day. Our vision is 'Learn With Us' and we take that to heart with a well developed learning community and professional learning program where you can engage with AIS-R teachers. There are also plenty of coaching opportunities, after school activities and clubs that require your expertise and passion.

Once you are finished with your school day, Riyadh has plenty to offer in the community, including shopping, restaurants, markets, museums and other cultural experiences, now including movie theaters. There are a variety of clubs and activities that may pique your interest and you might even find a new activity or hobby to take part in while living in Saudi Arabia. People are often surprised to find a vibrant, social community, with a variety of activities that cater to diverse interests. The anxiety of arriving in a new and unfamiliar place quickly fades to a sense of comfort and safety as adults and children develop their social networks and take part in everyday life.
