A fluent changeover from home to school is important for children and parents so that they don’t feel estranged throughout the transition. That’s why it’s important to choose a good
kindergarten or early childhood programme. The teachers, environment and community that a school nurtures will help you to evaluate schools and choose one that will cater to your young child’s growth and development.
- Knowledgeable environment
At OWIS American School, teachers collaborate with your child’s learning journey and develop a natural curiosity in them.Learn-by-doing and inquiry-based curriculum are some of the important ways that a child-centered programme nurtures your child and boosts academic, emotional and social development.

Diversity is the core at OWIS classrooms. Children coming from different cultures and nationalities are welcomed with compassion and kindness. Young children learn to understand diversity, appreciate differences and practise kindness in a warm atmosphere.
At OWIS Riyadh, children can decide how to play with objects and invent their own games. Through this process we encourage children to practice their creativity and develop problem-solving skills. These and other open-ended activities increase engagement and give your child the ability to explore independent ideas and innovative strategies.
