Hi ,

I would appreciate if someone can guide on which is a better school (British School or Mulinational School in riyadh) considering the fact that the children are currently studying in the UK.

Regards,

If you are from the UK, then British School is your choice. You will also have a priority admission, being a UK citizen.
My kids go to Multinational (we're from Victoria, AU). I personally like it better, British School is more regimental and kids pull crazy long days. Multinational is more relaxed and (IMHO) teachers put more emphasis on play'n'learn approach.

Where is Multinat school melb?

Between exists 7 and 8. When heading towards Damam, turn left at exit 7 (roads are a bit dug up at the mo), first petrol station on your r/h, go right. The school is at the end of that road (T-junction).
You can also get to it from behind Imam University direction.
You should be able to Google them for detailed directions/contact details.

Yes you are right, it is very much a personal choice. Multi is a lot more relaxed.

If you want your children to go to the max with qualifications, BISR is better. Standard of sports is also better and they are in the BSME Game every year. BISR is more traditional and regimental (ie has good discipline which is great).

Many thanks for the reply.Though I would like more discipline but a relaxed environment is always better.

Does depend how old your kids are though. If they are little then multi national may be a good choice. If there are approaching / in secondary I'd go for the British. You should go and look round them both.

It also depends what your future plans are - the British school follows the British curriculum, the Multi follows, I understand, the Australian system. Not sure what the differences are - you would need to check what exams they will take at senior level.
