Shams National Schools

Al Andalus is one of Riyadh's established residential districts, home to a steady population of families with school-age children. Shams National Schools is a co-educational national-curriculum option serving this community from primary through secondary grades. The school sits within the local catchment typical of this part of the city—families based in Al Andalus and the surrounding neighborhoods form the core of the school's enrollment. As a national-curriculum school, Shams National Schools follows the Saudi Ministry of Education framework, aligning with the educational pathway most families in the area are familiar with.

Fees start from SAR 10,000 per year, paid as one payment at the start of the academic year—no installment plans are currently offered. The school does not hold Ministry of Education accreditation. Without that accreditation, transcripts from Shams National Schools may require additional steps if a family later moves the student into the national-system pipeline or to an accredited private school. National-curriculum schools without formal Ministry accreditation are less common than accredited alternatives in Riyadh, so families should confirm the school's academic standing and transcript portability before enrolling. Published parent reviews are not yet available, so there is no rating signal at this stage.
