Al Yasmin International School Riyadh

At a glance

Where a detail is not officially published we mark it clearly rather than guess. Always confirm current figures with the school.

Curriculum and academics

Al Yasmin International School follows the Indian Central Board of Secondary Education curriculum, teaching from Nursery through to Grade 12. The CBSE programme is delivered from Grade 1, with a co educational kindergarten, and it prepares pupils for the Board examinations that are recognised by Indian universities and widely accepted elsewhere.

The school is one of a small number in the Kingdom affiliated with CBSE and is a member of the CBSE Gulf Sahodaya group, which links Indian curriculum schools across the region. It is approved by the Saudi Ministry of Education and primarily serves the Indian diaspora in Riyadh. To understand how the Indian system is structured and assessed, read our pillar guide to the CBSE curriculum, and set the school in context with our Riyadh city guide.

Families choose Al Yasmin for a familiar Indian pathway close to home, at a fee level well below the city's Western curriculum schools. It suits Indian expatriate families who want continuity with the CBSE system and a straightforward route back to Indian higher education.

Al Yasmin International School Riyadh fees

Al Yasmin International School Riyadh fees sit in the value band for the city, which is typical of Indian curriculum schools and well below the Western system providers. We describe the band rather than quote a precise figure, because the school revises its schedule each year and bills differently across the grades. Parents should still budget for the items around tuition.

• Registration fees: one off charges applied at admission.
• Annual tuition: billed per year and rising through the grades.
• Examination fees: CBSE Board assessment charges in the senior years.
• Extras: transport, books, uniform, trips and activities.

For the citywide picture our guide to international school fees in Riyadh divides the market into low, mid and premium tiers, and you can compare bands by stage in our Riyadh primary fees and Riyadh secondary fees breakdowns. Confirm the current figures with the school.

Admissions

The main intake follows the Indian academic pattern and the local school year, with applications reviewed ahead of the start of term and mid year places arising where a seat is available. Admission runs through an application, prior school records and an age appropriate assessment of readiness for the grade sought.

Because places for the Indian community can be in demand, families are advised to apply early and to have transfer certificates and prior reports ready. Relocating families should contact the admissions office directly to check current availability.
