SCHOOL SCHEDULE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
International involvement:
With our ability to maintain outstanding performance, Al-Rawdah International School had the ability to participate internationally in the “The First Forum for the International Schools in Gulf Cooperation Council Countries” which occurred in Dubai – United Arab Emirates. This event took place between the 10th to12th April of 2006.
Academic achievements:
With our exceptional studnet’s performance, AIS has achieved excellent results in the IGCSE in 2011. This was obtained by just over 86% of male students scoring from A+ to C and nearly 37% of all students scored A+. In June 2010, 92.51% male students scored A+ to C. On the other hand, almost 93% of female students scored from A* to C in June 2011. The overall number of students achieving grades A* – C has increased, in which the proportion of students achieving these grades in June 2010 is 83.72%; in June 2011 the proportion was 90%.
Higher Education
A common trend displayed in our school of graduate students of being admitted to various universities is observed. This can be conveyed by having a ratio of 100% university acceptance rate seen in last year’s graduates alone. 91 students graduated last year and they were all able to be admitted into international and local universities.
Strength:
Due to the high number of students’ exponential achievement in the IGCSE program, which seems to increase every year, our school decided to introduce a scholarship program. This program is provided for students who achieve high grades with an outstanding academic record. In addition to that our school is responsible for providing textbook supplies that are in new or good condition. Our main strength is in providing students with the opportunity for continuous development, which can be exhibited through improving student’s learning capabilities. Our campus environment provides students with adequate facilities to facilitate their learning process and needs.

ATTENDANCE AND ABSENTEEISM
PUNCTUALITY AND LATENESS
The school day usually starts at 6:30 A.M, with the morning assembly. If students mess this time and arrive after this time, they will be marked and registered as late. In case of students being late, parents are required to inform the school beforehand prior to 6:45 A.M on the expected time of arrival to avoid being registered as late. Being registered as late has a penalty which can lead to mark deduction on certain classes.
The morning assembly is part of the school curriculum and every student is required to attend them and participate in a morning physical activity exercise. Failure to attend the assemblies can lead to disciplinary action.
All students must depart the school premise at 1:05 P.M. to catch the school’s transportation bus or at 1:10 P.M for their private transportation.
All students should depart the school’s premise no later than 2:15 P.M., the school after this time holds no liability. In addition to that, to discourage late pick ups by parents and early arrival, a fee of 800 SAR per semester will be applied in such contexts.
