Top 9 A Level Schools in Riyadh

This guide is written by Tutopiya’s education experts to help families compare A Level options.

Riyadh has a growing cluster of international and private schools, some of which offer Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel A Levels in senior years. This guide highlights those A Level routes and excludes full IB-only and American-only schools, even when they are popular.

How this list is ranked (and what “A Level results data” really means)

Helpful datapoints when comparing A Level options in Riyadh include:

  • A*/A and A*/A/B rates at A Level over recent exam series
  • Subject breadth, especially in STEM, Business/Economics, and humanities
  • Number of entries per subject and cohort size
  • University destinations in Saudi Arabia, the Gulf, and globally
  • Accreditation status with Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel

Where detailed statistics are limited, families rely on reputation, inspection reports, and exam-support structures.
