At what age do kids start school in Dhahran camp? Mu son will be 5 on February 25, he is expeted to start school in Aug-24 here in UK. My RA told me that kids don’t start school before they are 5. The other thing he told me that I have to arrange my kids’s admission while I am in Saudi. This is different to what I have heard from others on the forum. The kids get their admission confirmation before the sponsor join Aramco.

5 is kindergarten, they do have pre K for 3 and 4 year olds, US system.
It’s a local school so if you are on camp, within catchment, you will have a space apart from any unusual scenarios, such as additional needs. They can’t confirm your spot until you have your badge, but it’s a given that they will take him. In the US the system is similar, you can’t confirm without an address in catchment.

Dear tamsin, thanks for your information. So the kids can attend the school on camp from 3 years old? |
