Primary School at Beech Hall School Riyadh

Our Primary School caters to students from Grade 1 to Grade 6. We are proud to offer a flexible and internationally-minded curriculum that draws on the best educational practices from around the world. At the heart of our Primary provision is the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), which combines thematic, project-based learning with the core academic subjects of English, Mathematics, Science, and Computing.

Our pupils’ learning journeys are designed to nurture talents, spark curiosity, and allow new ideas to flourish. We believe that every child is unique, and our curriculum provides the flexibility to adapt to individual needs and learning styles.

The IPC aims to inspire learners to become active, reflective, and independent thinkers. It empowers children to lead their own learning, while also guiding teachers in planning, implementation, and evaluation to ensure meaningful progress and impact.

We believe that children learn best in environments that are:

• Rich in experiences

• Encouraging of curiosity, exploration, and communication

• Supportive of their social and emotional development

The IPC is underpinned by eight personal learning goals, which shape the character and mindset of our learners as responsible global citizens:

• Adaptable

• Communicator

• Collaborator

• Empathetic

• Ethical

• Resilient

• Respectful

• Thinker

Our Units of Learning are crafted around Big Ideas that help pupils connect subjects and make learning meaningful. Each unit is bespoke and responsive to the needs of our students. They begin with an engaging entry point and conclude with an exit point, which encourages pupils to reflect on their learning and allows teachers to assess understanding in a purposeful, holistic way.

At Beech Hall School Riyadh, pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do. Each day begins with a morning check-in, where pupils set personal goals and intentions. This time reinforces our shared commitment to the school’s core values:
Excellence, Inclusion, Respect, Kindness, and Responsibility.
