Dear Members,
I have accepted Aramco Offer and looking for my son's school options now. He is 8 years old.
We live in the UK and hopefully will move to Dammam in a few months time.
Could you help me by suggesting an all inclusive School (no issues with American or British curriculum)in Dammam Area.
My son needs a little support in maths and is has mild ADHD and always studied in sittings with the few children.
Other option we are looking at are homeschooling or online schooling.
Any valuable suggestions will be appreciated.
Kind Regards

KSA is very un-inclusive, in our experience.
Have Aramco schools been looked at, or has he been rejected?
I'd say DEMS was the most inclusive. DBS and BISAK are worth considering if you want to stick with English curriculum. Certainly there used to be busses to DBS and DEMS, and no busses to BISAK. I dont know how the BDS/DEMS campus move has affected that situation, but would imagine it still stands due to the Aramco kids staying in kingdom requiring access to a high school.
DBS used to have aprox 20 kids per class. I would think BISAK and DEMS were similar, but dont have direct experience of class sizes there. Is that small enough for your son?

Thank you swan. My son's school admission process will start now as I just accepted the offer. Thanks for your feedback, ASD (Aramco School Dhahran) looks a good option and also I will try to speak with BSD as it would be easy to continue with the British Curriculam.
Size of 20 is good for my son. Our basic issue seems like to get admission in the school. If required, we would be willing to take online tuition as well.
We are thinking for to do the homeschooling or online schooling as well but not sure if Aramco will reimburse the fee for online schooling.
Kind Regards

Kybuk
I saw your message on the forum. I would like to know in which online school children are enrolled. Does Aramco reimburse school fee?
How do you manage extra curricular activities?
Kind Regards
Umar
