Our ISG school sites have been ready for safe student return for some time now. We are therefore happy to confirm that our youngest students will return to in-person teaching on January 23, 2022. Our ISG school teams will provide as much support as possible to ensure our youngest learners achieve a safe and happy transition back to full-time in-person learning.

I am very pleased to confirm that we have just received the news that our youngest students will be permitted to attend in-person learning from January 23, 2022.

In the past week, along with many other schools in Saudi Arabia, all ISG schools received a visit from Ministry of Education (MOE) representatives. We were very glad to host the MOE for a tour of our school facilities and to discuss the support that we offer to our lower grade levels.

As you will know, there have been further announcements this week concerning international travel restrictions due to the new Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus. Obviously, this news is of concern to our families and we will be monitoring any developments up to and including the break. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to talk to your child’s principal.

We are pleased to update you that starting next week, our school sites will be taking additional steps to support the learning of our youngest students. Please look out for an announcement from your child’s principal with further details.

As you will know, last Thursday our students began their long weekend. Our staff however, were busy participating in our annual collaborative learning event. ISG Learns is our opportunity to bring our teaching staff together for community building and professional development sessions.

We are looking forward to hosting ISG Learns on Thursday, November 11, 2021. This year's theme, Engaging the Whole Learner, was developed by a committee of teachers and school administrators and was voted on by over 130 staff members.

As you may be aware, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced this week that they will be delaying the return of Pre-KG-Grade 6/FS1-Year 7 students to in-person learning. Please note that in light of this announcement, our schools will continue with current online learning arrangements for these grade levels, until we receive further news from the MOE.
