Word from the Principal
A school designed from conviction.
Welcome to Westminster International School.
Westminster begins with one honest question: what does this child deserve?
Our answer is clear. Every child who walks through our gates deserves to be seen fully, challenged with purpose, supported with care, and prepared not only for examinations, but for life.
What This Child Deserves
At Westminster, we are not building a school from ordinary parts. We are building a school from conviction.
Every policy, every lesson plan, every classroom display, every family conversation, and every promise begins with the same belief: children deserve an education that recognises who they are, respects what they can become, and prepares them for the world with confidence, character, and conscience.
We believe children deserve to be challenged at the highest level they can reach. They deserve to be supported when learning is difficult. And they deserve to grow in an environment where academic excellence and moral character belong together.
The Standards We Measure Ourselves By
Westminster is built on three inseparable convictions:
Academic excellence and moral character belong together.
Success is not complete if it is separated from honesty, humility, responsibility, and compassion.
A school's quality is shown in what it does every day.
Not only in what it says, but in every classroom, every response to a child, every decision, and every interaction with families.
• Education must prepare students for life.
A complete education develops knowledge and skill, but also a sense of responsibility for the world students are entering.
To Our Students
Not the building. Not the timetable. Not the policies. You.
This school was built for the child who needs to be believed in – and we believe in every one of you. We will hold you to a high standard because we respect your potential. We will challenge you because we know what you are capable of. And we will support you at every step because that is the commitment we make from the day you join Westminster. We believe in who you are becoming.
Preparing Students for Riyadh's Future
Riyadh is one of the world’s most dynamic cities, and its young people will be called to lead, create, build, and serve.
Westminster exists to prepare students for that future – not by filling them with information alone, but by developing the character, competence, and conscience they need to move through the world with integrity.
Our students are prepared not only to succeed, but to contribute. Not only to lead, but to serve. Not only to enter the future, but to help shape it.
The Westminster Promise
We will see you – not just your grades, not just your behavior, not just your potential, but you: fully, kindly, and without conditions.
We will hold you to the highest version of yourself.
And we will send you into the world ready – not only to succeed in it, but to make it better.
