The Islamic Saudi Academy

The Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA) is a 1st-12th grade Boys’ and Girls’ day school located on Richmond Highway in Alexandria, VA. Founded in 1984, the School is Fully Accredited by SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) and CITA (Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation). In December 2008, ISA received authorization from the International Baccalaureate (IB) to offer the IB Diploma Programme to students in 11th and 12th grade.
ISA offers a U.S. college-prepatory curriculum with the addition of Arabic Language and Islamic Studies. In September 2010, our 11th and 12th grade classes will also be students of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Also in September 2010, we will begin working toward implementing the IB Middle Years Program for our students in grades 6 through 10.

We believe the IB curriculum offers the best preparation for our students to get into competitive universities and to pursue their career goals, not just as citizens of their home countries, but as citizens of the world.

The central goals of the programme are: To equip students with an education of the highest quality and equal to that of the best schools in the world; To prepare students intellectually to become life-long learners; To develop in students a strong sense of their own identity and culture; To develop their knowledge of and ability to communicate with other cultures; To make them aware of the interdependent relationship between our fragile planet and ourselves.

In addition to starting the Diploma Programme (DP) this fall, we have also begun our application for the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for grades 6–10. Once the MYP is in place, we will apply for the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for grades 1-5. For more information, please click here: IB Program
