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.
