Two Purpose-Built Campuses Opening in Granada, Riyadh This September
EtonHouse International Education Arabia, a new venture by the Singapore-headquartered EtonHouse International Education Group, is set to open two new schools in Granada, Riyadh, in partnership with the Royal Commission for Riyadh City. The launch marks the group’s debut in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, bringing world-class educational models to a region primed for transformation.
Opening in September 2025, the campuses include EtonHouse International Pre-School Granada and EtonHouse International School Granada, welcoming children from 18 months to 18 years. Families can now book preview tours of the new campus ahead of the August 2025 soft opening.
A Saudi First: Reggio Emilia-Inspired Early Years Education
The EtonHouse International Pre-School Granada is the first of its kind in the Kingdom to offer a Reggio Emilia-inspired bilingual programme, nurturing children aged 18 months to 6 years through open-ended inquiry, creative exploration, and child-led learning.
Purpose-built learning spaces include:
- A light and media studio
- Indoor playground and atelier
- Central piazza for collaboration and community
- Cultural and sensory areas blending play with tradition
Future-Ready K–12 Learning Pathways
The adjacent EtonHouse International School Granada offers a comprehensive K–12 international curriculum, leading to Cambridge IGCSEs and International A-Levels. The school integrates globally benchmarked academic standards with a strong emphasis on wellbeing, bilingualism, and cultural identity.
Students will benefit from:
- Bilingual classrooms led by native English and Arabic educators
- Additional Mandarin language learning
- A science-led Living Lab, full sports facilities, and outdoor football field
- Curriculum programmes including IPC, Singapore Mathematics, and Cambridge qualifications
Learning Spaces Rooted in Culture and Curiosity
EtonHouse’s Riyadh campuses are designed to reflect Saudi Arabia’s heritage and natural environment, with immersive learning zones such as:
- The Elemental Landscape – Children explore desert and oasis ecosystems through clay, microscopes, and digital media
- The Architecture Space – A tribute to Saudi design, encouraging experimentation with light, shape, and form
- The Living Heritage Space – Sensory learning through cultural materials like saffron, cardamom, and traditional pigments
Global Standards, Local Relevance
With over 100 schools across 12 countries, EtonHouse brings three decades of experience in child-led, culturally fluent education. The new Riyadh campuses embody this legacy while aligning closely with Vision 2030 goals to elevate educational quality and youth empowerment in Saudi Arabia.
“Our launch in Riyadh is a natural evolution of EtonHouse’s mission to offer world-class, inquiry-based education rooted in local relevance,” said Ng Yi-Xian, Group CEO of EtonHouse. “Saudi Arabia is investing boldly in its youth, and we are proud to contribute by creating schools that combine global excellence with the cultural values and ambitions of the Kingdom.”
Whole-Child Education Starts Here
Both schools will place strong emphasis on emotional wellbeing, social-emotional learning, and personalised pathways. Whether in the preschool or K–12 setting, students are encouraged to explore, question, and lead their own journeys in a nurturing and inclusive environment.
