Does anyone have any information at all on this school?

It's mostly (likely all) Saudi students. If there are any other nationalities represented at the school they would likely be Egyptian, or some other Arab nation. The kids will speak Arabic all the time but are likely very fluent in English. I know there is an IB option at the school and it's a private school. I've heard kids at my school say that the kids there are really bad. And while I don't believe a lot of what students say about stuff like this as a general rule, my kids are a real handful and I can't see King Faisal being any better. I'm sure that the school has a hard time recruiting western teachers. If you're looking to be in KSA and want to teach at a true international school look to AISR, the British school, or the French school.

I know that isn't much help, but it's all I have.
