Dhahran School

It is part of the Saudi Aramco Expatriate Schools District.

Dhahran School is free of charge for all children of Saudi Aramco employees.

The school was first opened in 1940[1] to cater the education needs of children whose parents were working for ARAMCO or Saudi Aramco (Arabian American Oil Company).

The school follows an American-style curriculum that is certified by multiple US based organizations including the Middle States Association of Colleges and School,[2] but also works to meet the needs of non-American students.

The program divides the school into four 'houses', each including at least two homeroom classes from each grade.
