Here is the answer I received from the school:
Checked with our business office today and the schools cannot take children (as of today) that live off-camp, with the exception of Rakah/Jedawal. Although I will have to admit that things are changing quite often lately so I am not sure if this will change in the future

I would hope that they would allow Saudi children living inside the compounds before they would allow children not living in the compounds...

UmmRiyam,
Isn't the reason why Saudi kids can't attend Aramco schools after kgarten due to it being an American curriculum school, without language, religion, and history classes of relevance and requirement to Saudis?

It is actually a Saudi government rule that Saudis must attend Saudi schools. A Saudi has to peion the government for approval to attend a school in the kingdom that is not a Saudi school.
Learned that from the ISG Schools.

Even if you get permission for you child to attend an International school, Aramco's policy is that Saudis cannot attend after K. About 5 years ago the govt started allowing Saudis to attend all international schools. Before, they could only attend Saudi Schools. I think Aramco schools are the only ones in the Kingdom that do not allow any Saudis.

I think the international schools have Islamic classes during after school hours. Aramco schools do not.
