MANSOURA International School in Riyadh has scaled new heights on all fronts, especially in the field of academic excellence and co-curricular activities. It is growing from strength to strength under the inspiring leadership of Principal Tariq Mahmood Saeed, who has over 15 years of teaching experience in the United Kingdom and over 10 years as head of different academic institutions in Saudi Arabia.
Speaking on behalf of the students, staff and administration of Mansoura International School on the occasion of the 62nd Independence Day of Pakistan, Saeed extended his greetings and best wishes to the people of Pakistan and to all expatriates living in Saudi Arabia.
The school, he said, remembers the sacrifices and hard work that have contributed to the making of Pakistan as a truly modern, affluent and progressive nation today. Pakistan as a nation, he said, is thriving, moving ahead and achieving all-round development in the fields of economy, education, science and technology, information communications and sports.
“Sixty years of journey have made every Pakistani proud and has inculcated a sense of belongingness, which is unique in the case of Pakistan and a Pakistani,” said Saeed, while recalling the warm relationship between the people of Pakistan and the Kingdom.
Saeed said “his country had always valued the relationship with Saudi Arabia in high esteem.” He added: “The Mansoura International School is offering a typical blend of state-of-art syllabus with an Islamic curriculum and it is the only school of its kind in Riyadh that strives to integrate programs where Islamic teachings and values are imbedded across all subject areas.” The school has its own curriculum for Qur’an and Arabic language classes. It is an English-medium school offering education right from kindergarten to the secondary level.
With more than 500 students, the school has seasoned teachers. Fauzia Kausar Butt with 26 years of teaching experience is the supervisor of the girls’ section. The school’s coordinator, Riaz Shahid, is in charge of the boys’ section.
In a press statement released on this occasion, the principal expressed his commitment to make “students strong and highly educated professionals, for whom Islam is a complete way of life.” He placed great emphasis on the formulation of a curriculum that catered to “the development of a balanced and holistic Islamic personality.”
According to the press release, the school has adopted the metric system of Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Islamabad, and the students who wish to go to Pakistan or abroad for higher education will have equal opportunities after having their basic education from Mansoura school. Admissions are open all year round.
The school is offering 20 percent discount in tuition fee for admission in Federal Board classes only. This offer is valid for a limited time period. The school has adopted International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), “O” Level and “A” Level University of Cambridge Advanced International Certificate Of Education (AICE) as an examination to qualify students for University admission. The school has also applied for recognition as a center by University of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate (UCLES).
