Riyadh is the political, economic, and educational capital of Saudi Arabia — and the epicenter of Vision 2030's digital transformation. For families across Olaya, King Abdullah Financial District, Al Malqa, Al Muruj, Diplomatic Quarter, and beyond — AI and coding fluency is no longer optional for the next generation of Saudi professionals.
Why Coding & AI Matter for Kids in Riyadh
Riyadh hosts the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), King Salman Airport's AI initiatives, and countless tech ventures linked to Vision 2030. Universities like KSU (King Saud University), Princess Nourah, Al Imam, and the newly launched MBZUAI-style programs are producing AI graduates who will shape Saudi's digital future. Your child growing up in Riyadh should have foundations strong enough to compete — and lead — in this new economy.
Riyadh's School Landscape
Riyadh families choose from Saudi public schools, international schools (British International School Riyadh, American International School Riyadh, Multinational Schools of Riyadh, Kingdom Schools), Indian International School, Pakistan International School, and bilingual options. Ministry of Education is integrating coding but depth varies. External programs deliver the consistent depth that ambitious Riyadh families seek.
Serving Families Across Riyadh
We teach kids across Riyadh — Olaya, KAFD, Al Malqa, Al Muruj, Diplomatic Quarter (DQ), Al Izdihar, Al Sahafa, Al Yasmeen, Al Narjis, Al Rabwa, Al Wadi, Hittin, and more. Live online classes mean no Riyadh traffic, no commute through rush-hour King Fahd Road.
Schedule & Time Zones for Riyadh Families
Riyadh is Arabia Standard Time (AST, UTC+3).
Riyadh is 2.5 hours behind IST. A 6 PM Saturday IST class = 3:30 PM Saturday Riyadh time — perfect afternoon slot after the weekend morning. Indian platform timings align well with Saudi family schedules.
Local Schools & Curricula We Support
We support Riyadh students from British International School Riyadh (BISR), American International School Riyadh (AISR), Kingdom Schools, Multinational School, Dar Jana International School, Manarat Riyadh, King Faisal School, Al Mamlaka Schools, Indian International School Riyadh, and many others. Our curriculum complements Saudi MoE, British, American, Indian CBSE/ICSE, and IB programs without conflict.

The Local Landscape
Riyadh has a growing kid-coding market — Tuwaiq Academy kid programs, Misk Foundation initiatives, Coded Minds Arabia, and international franchise operators. These tend to be premium-priced with limited flexibility. Junior Codes offers live weekend classes with real engineers at competitive pricing — ideal for consistent multi-month learning.
Recommended Path for Riyadh Kids
Ages 6–9: Scratch basics. Ages 10–13: Scratch + AI via Google Teachable Machine. Ages 14–16: Python + AI projects + prompt engineering. For Riyadh students targeting KSU, KFUPM, KAUST, Princess Nourah, or international universities, a multi-year coding portfolio is a strong admissions asset.
Common Questions from Riyadh Parents
Are classes mixed-gender or separate?
Classes are typically mixed-gender in structured online environments. Families preferring gender-specific sessions can request arrangements where possible.
What about during Ramadan in Saudi Arabia?
We adjust class timings during Ramadan to respect iftar and family time — typically moving classes to late evenings throughout the month.
Does this help for Saudi university admissions?
Yes. KAUST, KFUPM, KSU, and others increasingly value portfolio evidence and demonstrated skills. A coding portfolio built over years is a genuine admissions strength.
Will the Arabic-first household affect my child's learning?
Classes are in English, but most Riyadh kids from international or bilingual schools manage well. For Arabic-first households, coding becomes productive English exposure alongside the technical learning.
What Your Child Will Actually Build
- Their own video games using Scratch
- AI models that recognise faces, gestures & sounds
- Interactive AI-powered projects using Google Teachable Machine
- Understanding of how ChatGPT, YouTube recommendations, and Alexa work
- Prompt engineering skills (talking to AI effectively)
