Al Bassam International School

Ash Shati Ash Sharqi is an eastern district of Dammam where families seeking international schooling for boys will find Al Bassam International School. The school serves students from primary through secondary grades in a co-educational learning environment, though it enrolls boys. Located in this established residential and commercial area, the school draws families from across the broader eastern districts of the city, particularly those in and around Ash Shati Ash Sharqi and the neighbouring Al Shatea locality. The international curriculum framework positions the school within Dammam's expanding network of non-national-system options.

Annual fees start from SAR 18,200 per year. The school does not currently offer installment plans, so families will need to budget the full annual fee as a single payment at the start of the academic year. Al Bassam International School is not accredited by the Ministry of Education, which means transcripts from the school may require additional steps if a family later moves the student into the national-system pipeline — a point worth clarifying directly with admissions before enrolment. The school has not yet accumulated published parent reviews, so there is no rating signal available at this early stage. Parents evaluating the school will want to assess curriculum offerings, language balance, teaching staff qualifications, and community fit based on direct enquiry.
