AISJ AT A GLANCE
American international education, facilitating learning, empathy, and aspirations.
About AISJ
The American International School of Jeddah is a non-profit school that offers an authentic American education, designed to nurture scholars’ passion for knowledge. Formerly known as Parents Cooperative School (PCS), the school was founded in 1952 by a group of expatriate parents who saw a need for a formal American curriculum education in Jeddah. It later went on to be renamed North Campus School (NCS) in 1976, Saudi Arabian International School (Saudia – SAIS) in 1985, and finally American International School of Jeddah (AISJ) in 2004.
In January 2019, AISJ moved to its new purposefully-built campus in the up-and-coming Mohammadiyah District.
Our state-of-the-art campus is the perfect backdrop for a student-centered, American learning experience. Our campus includes strategically designed classrooms with learning centers and group work areas, spacious Early Childhood classrooms, and fully-equipped science labs.
