ROSHN Group, the Kingdom’s leading multi asset real estate developer and a PIF company, and Cognita Middle East, one of the world’s most diverse education groups, have announced a new King’s College Riyadh all through campus in SEDRA, further extending the school’s presence in north Riyadh. This milestone partnership marks ROSHN Group’s largest private education development, further diversifying its portfolio in line with its ongoing expansion strategy.
Opening in the third quarter of 2027, King’s College Riyadh SEDRA marks an exciting next chapter for King’s College in Riyadh, building on its six successful years in the Kingdom. The educational facility will be purpose built for King’s College, spanning 36,300 m² and will initially welcome students from pre school to Year 9, expanding year on year.
Extending a Legacy of British Education Excellence
King’s College Riyadh SEDRA extends the 145 year educational heritage of King’s College in the UK to deliver values driven British education to one of Riyadh’s fastest growing neighbourhoods. The SEDRA campus will provide a British international education from pre school to the final year of secondary school.
Students will follow the National Curriculum for England, adapted to the local context, and graduate with internationally recognised qualifications such as IGCSEs, A Levels, BTECs, or combined pathways. Arabic language and Saudi national subjects will form a core part of the curriculum, supporting students’ cultural awareness alongside academic development.
Purpose Built Facilities Designed for Future Ready Learning
King’s College Riyadh SEDRA will offer a dynamic blend of academic excellence and future ready learning environments, tailored to meet the needs of SEDRA families and the wider Riyadh community. SEDRA is a vibrant residential development that is home to more than 3,000 families, offering the convenience of integrated amenities within walking distance, including schools, parks, mosques, and retail outlets.
The new campus will offer continuity for current King’s College Riyadh students while introducing a new, high quality school alongside SEDRA’s existing educational facilities. The campus will feature world class learning and sports amenities designed to inspire creativity, wellbeing, and personal growth.
Facilities will include a 25 metre six lane swimming pool, an eight court sports hall, two padel courts, one full size floodlit football pitch, two basketball courts, a theatre with performing arts centre, advanced science and technology laboratories, multiple music and art studios, and specialist libraries.
