The Aramco schools are taught in Emglish. The kids will need a level of English in which to do the work. The schools know English is not all kids' first language, but they do need a functional level of English.
In previous years about one third of the DHA 9th grade students went to Dhahran High School. Not having children in school anymore, I do not know what percentage stays in kingdom for high school now. Dhahran High School is a college preparatory school and does give students an excellent high school education.
You may arrive first. You may even fill out the paperwork, but it will not be accepted for OOK boarding schools until your wife arrives in kingdom and you are on family status. This may not be exactly accurate if your wife arrives within 90 days of your arrival. If she arrives in the first 90 days you will be on family status upon arrival. I am not sure if they will accept the paperwork in that instance prior to her arrival.
If you do your senerio you will come on bachelor status because she will not be arriving within 90 days. You are not eligible for EAP tuition assistance on Bachelor status with kids living with the mom.
