School places drive relocation timelines more than any other single factor. Intake windows are fixed, waitlists are real, and the right campus depends on where you will live and work.
These are the schools we work with. We handle the admissions introduction and keep the school timeline and your arrival date on the same page.

Parents moving to Riyadh with school-age children. Usually against a fixed start date, often against a waitlist.
Riyadh's international school landscape covers British, American, IB, French and other national curricula, from early years through school-leaving qualifications. The main intake is aligned to the September term with a secondary window in January at some schools, and mid-year entry is possible where seats exist. The bottleneck is almost always specific year groups, not the school as a whole.
Waitlists are real but not uniform: the same school can be open in Year 2 and closed in Year 7. Districts matter, too. Commute time to campus shapes daily life here more than most families expect, which is why we run the school search and the housing search as one exercise.
Fees are published by each school and vary widely by curriculum and year group; we share the schools' own published ranges and never quote on their behalf. Admissions decisions are the schools' alone. Our work is making sure your application is complete, early and in front of the right person.
School introductions are part of a relocation engagement; scoped in the written plan, exclusive of VAT.
As soon as the move is likely. Before flights, before housing. The strongest applications land a term or more ahead of entry, and for popular year groups earlier still.
Often, where a seat exists in the year group. Schools handle it routinely for relocating families; the constraint is capacity, not policy.
Typically previous school reports, passports and residency papers, immunisation records, and for some year groups an assessment. We assemble the file once and reuse it across applications.
Each school publishes its own fee schedule by year group, and they vary widely. We point you to the published ranges. Fee questions beyond that belong to the school.
Many do, ranging from a play session for the youngest to online or on-campus assessments for older years. Schools tell you the format when the file is in.
No one can promise a seat a school does not have. What we do is make sure you are early, complete and known. Which is what moves waitlists in practice.
