Education
is not filling of a pail, but lighting of a fire- William
Butler Yeats
Greetings from ISG-Abqaiq!
October 13, 1990 brought in 34 students
in Grades K-4. Known as “Abqaiq Academy” then
to ISG-Abqaiq as it is called now, our school has come a
long way. Till date we have our 151 alumni move on beyond
the secure walls of ISG-Abqaiq. The first batch of 9th graders
graduated in 1996 and now is in the work force in various
parts of the word and Abqaiq is proud to have made a difference
in their lives and celebrating that difference too!
The parents, staff and students,
the triangle in education, form the support group that has
continued to help the school reach this far. Through dedication,
hard work, and respect for one another the school has provided
opportunities to develop students into global citizens.
Whether it was to prepare the students for boarding schools
in the United States or their home countries or pursuing
high school in the Kingdom, our K-9 school has provided
them a firm foundation for life-long learning. At ISG-Abqaiq
we are committed to excellence!
The global languages program adds
uniqueness to the American Curriculum followed by the school
and the district. The National Language Program provides
the students a platform to remain in touch with the culture
and heritage of their home countries. The multi-national
staff, students and parents each form an amalgam of various
cultures and languages that contributes to the richness
of the school culture. Thus, the curriculum used is a modified
American curriculum with the inclusion of a National Language
Program.
Our school is a part of the larger
International Schools Group governed by a twelve member,
multi-national Board of Trustees.
Please do not hesitate to
contact me for any questions about our school.
Sincerely yours,
Vineeta Dambal, Principal
