IB DP sessions in Riyadh for 2026–27
Riyadh’s private and international schools sit in a Vision 2030 expansion of licensed campuses, with Tatweer-era digital expectations and Ministry of Education licensing still in the background. Families pay in Saudi Riyal, and VAT 15% on eligible services has to be itemised rather than guessed at on a receipt.
National and international calendars coexist. A campus that runs an international September year still employs staff whose contracts think in Hijri/Gregorian payroll, so HR and the academic calendar cannot be two unrelated tools. Local named facts include Tatweer, VAT 15%, Saudi Riyal, Vision 2030. International September years and national calendars can share a campus; payroll still needs a named calendar. For 2026–27, treat official circulars published for this year as the only source of day-level dates. This page was structured in September 2026, when many April-year campuses were already in session and September-year campuses were opening.
IA deadlines and predicted grades sit on the school calendar beside that session. They are not the IB’s attendance register. Never invent a date sheet on this page. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
