School Owner's Message

Education certainly takes a vital role in the development of humanity and the seamless revolution of the industry. Islam is keen on this aspect as the first message (verses in Qur’an) from Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) was read in Surat Al-Alaq (Read In the name of your
Lord Who created).

The 2030 vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a high premium transformation in education. To attain the global standard, improvement in curricula, teaching, and learning methods alongside the increment of international schools is on top of the priorities.

We, at Shorouq Al Mamlakah International School “SAMIS”, are driven and committed to keeping pace with this vision together with the objectives regarding curriculum development and modern technology. Whereas SAMIS is founded with the mission of providing world-class aca
demic skills, competencies, and opportunities for the learners to unleash their full potentials and to become globally competitive citizens in the future.

Humble Beginnings

Shorouq Al Mamlakah International School was founded in the year 2006 and recognized as one of the best international schools in providing the highest quality of education. SAMIS operates a program for the pre-school, elementary, middle school and high school for the children of the growing international community residing in and around Taif City.
For fifteen years, SAMIS has been growing considerably, with two huge buildings for the Girls section and for the Boys section as well as licensed educators and staff of the academe who are dedicated to pursuing positive human values and academic excellence. To achieve its goal and fulfill its mission of spreading quality education, since 2018, SAMIS has been utilizing the American curriculum following the international standard under the supervision of Cognia formerly known as AdvancED organization.
It is the first school not only in Taif City but also in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that gained accreditation from the Cognia organization. Adding to this stride, SAMIS gained the first-ever STEM Certification from Cognia trailblazing in academic innova tion. Alongside the American curriculum, SAMIS also partnered with Savvas formerly known as Pearson, an American Learning Company that provides specialized textbooks and interactive web media. As the population of students keeps on soaring, in 2019, the Boys Section moved to a new building located at Wadi Waj Road, Al Mathna. The building is meticulously designed to accommodate a great number of students for elementary, middle school, and high school and to facilitate the instruction of our programs. This new school campus provides a space for different enrichment activities which allows students to enjoy a holistic education.
