Welcome to the American International School of Jeddah!

At AISJ, we are proud of our 73-year legacy. As we mark this anniversary, we have taken time to listen to our community, reflect on our traditions, and look ahead to the needs of tomorrow’s world. The message was clear: our families and faculty want a school that honors its past while boldly preparing scholars for futures that demand resilience, creativity, and innovation. The launch of AISJ 2.0 is a natural step in that journey.

Central to AISJ 2.0 is our commitment to entrepreneurship. In today’s world, entrepreneurship is not just about starting businesses. It is about cultivating mindsets of resilience, creativity, and problem-solving. We want every scholar, from our youngest learners to our seniors preparing for university, to see themselves as innovators capable of shaping the future.

That is why we are expanding our academic offerings, building partnerships with global leaders such as Babson College, and launching new spaces like our Innovation and Entrepreneurship Labs. These spaces will give students hands-on opportunities to design, experiment, and bring ideas to life. Whether through our AP program or our co-curricular activities, entrepreneurship will be a thread running through every level of learning at AISJ.

However, this vision extends beyond academics. AISJ 2.0 is about building a culture where scholars are encouraged to try, to fail, to learn, and ultimately, to thrive. It is about preparing them for futures we cannot yet imagine, equipping them with the tools and confidence to lead in a rapidly changing world.

As we move forward, our commitment remains clear: AISJ will be future-ready, guided by the voices of our community, and grounded in a legacy of excellence that stretches back more than seven decades. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Together, we are building a school that not only responds to the present but boldly anticipates the future.

Sincerely,

Robert Rinaldo
Superintendent
