International Programs School (IPS)

About International Programs School (IPS)

Located within the Eurovillage Compound in Al Khobar, IPS offers an exceptional education for students in Kindergarten through Grade 12. The school is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and is licensed by the Saudi Ministry of Education. IPS is a gender-segregated school. Founded in 2000, IPS offers an American curriculum. Graduates earn an American High School Diploma that qualifies them for admission to colleges and universities in the US, Canada, Europe, and elsewhere. IPS’ programs are carried out under the guidance of certified and experienced teachers from all over the world with high quality texts, materials, and services. As an international school, we value the diversity of our families and staff. Teachers and staff pride themselves on maintaining high standards which they accomplish through small classes, a personal touch, and dedication to the success of their students. As a result, IPS has become one of the leading schools in the Eastern Province. The student population is multinational representing over 35 countries from around the world. Student numbers have grown substantially over the recent years, and IPS is preparing for the construction of a new purpose-built campus that will enable the school to expand in size and enhance its academic curriculum offerings. Positions will be posted first on the IPS webpage, then with Search Associations, ISS, and TIE, and in databases with Queens University and the University of Northern Iowa. School hiring teams and the Director will interview qualified candidates at IPS and via Skype/Hangout as soon as they are identified. IPS will attend recruiting conferences throughout the year.
