Mariya International Schools (MIS) was founded in 2007 in the city of Jubail,

Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The schools was initiated to

cater for the massively growing Expatriate Community of Jubail Industrial City.

Mariya International School Jubail ranges from Kg’s, Grades 1-9 in both girls and

Boys section.

The beginnings of the schools were really humble. Only 43 students with a

handful of teachers and admin staff, six rooms in a building and a small play area,

were the constituents of the schools. Once the schools was licensed by the

ministry of education, KSA, it started to grow exponentially. In the last three

years, the schools has relocated in the newly built campus consisting of three

huge buildings covering an area of over 5000 sq. Meters. According to the

Ministry of Education KSA regulations, there are separate buildings for BOYS,

Girls and ADMIN sections. Each of the boys’ and girls’ section building was

designed and built to provide ergonomically safe and healthy environment for the

students. Over 64 classrooms, 4 Science Labs, 4 Computers’ Labs, Library,

Audio-Visual (AV) rooms, 2 indoor play areas and 2 outdoor play areas are the

main facilities in the schools.

The school has a huge, all indoors, Multi-purpose hall which is shared by both of

the sections. A huge size outdoor playground in the Girls’ section and a smaller

outdoor playground for the boys’ section is another feature of the schools.

Football (soccer) is the main sport within the schools, yet physical education,

basketball and cricket are also promoted and encouraged among the students.

To ensure the safety of the whole student population and the staff, a state of the

art Closed Circuit Television Camera system is also installed. Manned security

entrance-exit system is also operated to enhance the safety aspect. 60% of the

student population uses schools owned and maintained Transport system that

consists of 35 brand new buses that cover the whole of the city. Almost 90% of

the staff, also, commutes via this transport system. The KG students are provided

with BUS assistants in every trip that they have, to ensure their safety, to and

from the schools.

The School building is a purpose built facility and has been designed to make

sure that the environment provides the safest and easiest day to day running.

Health & safety and information Technology infrastructure and administration

strategies have influenced the design. Furthermore, a comprehensive and

achievable schools improvement plan has been formulated and initiated that

covers all aspects of improvement in education quality, we follow a British

Curriculum here at MIS. The syllabus is in accordance to the guidelines of British

Cambridge international Examination (CIE) frameworks, across the board. The

books and publications used to teach the syllabus were examined and only

publishers recommended by CIE were contacted to supply them. Also, the

schools applied for and received Association from CIE and British Council. The

project based learning methodology applied within MIS was further enhanced to

incorporate more Student Centered Learning. The Academics department

designed and implemented, an entire new lesson planning strategy in which

student centered learning was at the pinnacle.

MIS is accredited by Cognia, the British Council partner school, is a Cambridge

International School, and certified as a Cambridge assessment international

educational school, MIS is also an ISO 9001-2015 certified school. Our School is

also accredited by the Ministry of Education Saudi Arabia.
