Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 17 June 2026: King’s College Riyadh has marked an important milestone in its continued growth with the opening of its new Parent Experience Centre at ROSHN Front, offering prospective families an early glimpse into the school’s new SEDRA campus ahead of its opening in August 2027.

Designed to be the first step in a family’s King’s journey, the Parent Experience Centre provides a welcoming and interactive environment where parents can learn more about the school’s curriculum, admissions process and wider community. Through interactive 3D models, campus fly-through presentations and discussions with the admissions and leadership teams, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the future campus and the opportunities it will offer students.

Jacqueline Doran, Principal of King’s College Riyadh, said: “The opening of our Parent Experience Centre is an exciting step in journey, as we prepare to introduce families to the new SEDRA campus. It provides an opportunity for parents to meet our team, discover what makes King’s College Riyadh distinctive and gain an insight into the educational experience we are creating. We look forward to welcoming families and sharing our vision for this exciting new chapter.”

The opening follows the announcement earlier this year for the launch of King’s College Riyadh campus in SEDRA in partnership with ROSHN. Building on the success of the school’s Diriyah campus and six years of educational excellence in the Kingdom, the new campus will extend King’s College Riyadh’s premium British education offering to the SEDRA community in north Riyadh. The purpose-built campus will initially welcome students from Pre-School to Year 9, before expanding year-on-year to Year 13.

The Parent Experience Centre will also host a programme of community events and family-focused experiences throughout the year, including “Marhaba Mornings”, “Principal Afternoon Teas” and a range of other events designed to bring families together. Prospective families are invited to visit the Centre and take part in these events, providing an opportunity to become part of the growing King’s College Riyadh community and begin their journey with the school before the SEDRA campus opens.
