King Abdullah Academy (KAA; Arabic: أكاديمية الملك عبد الله[1]) is a Saudi Arabian international school located in Herndon, an unincorporated area in Fairfax County, Virginia in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
[2][3] In proximity to Herndon and Dulles International Airport,[4] it serves ages 5–18, grades preschool through 12.
There were no hearings from the Fairfax County government required for the occupation of the campus because land which KAA occupied was already zoned for educational purposes.
In 2015 Michael R. Frey, the Fairfax County Supervisor, stated that residents of the area around the school had not expressed opposition to its placement there.
[5] The academy will be closed after the 2024-2025 school year due to financial issues.
