Cognita and ROSHN Group to open new King’s College Riyadh campus in SEDRA, Saudi Arabia
Cognita Middle East is proud to partner with ROSHN Group, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s leading multi-asset real estate developer and a PIF company, to open a new King’s College Riyadh all-through campus in SEDRA, further extending the school’s presence in north Riyadh.
Opening in the third quarter of 2027, King’s College Riyadh SEDRA marks an exciting next chapter for King’s College in Riyadh, building on its six successful years in the Kingdom. The educational facility will be purpose built for King’s College, spanning 36,300 m² and will initially welcome students from pre-school to Year 9, expanding year on year.
King’s College Riyadh SEDRA extends the 145-year educational heritage of King’s College in the UK – a legacy rooted in academic excellence and enduring educational values – to deliver values-driven British education to one of Riyadh’s fastest growing neighborhoods. The SEDRA campus will provide a British-international education from pre-school to the final year of secondary school. Students will follow the National Curriculum for England, adapted to the local context, and graduate with internationally recognised qualifications such as IGCSEs, A-Levels, BTECs, or combined pathways. Arabic language and Saudi national subjects will be a core part of the curriculum.
King’s College Riyadh SEDRA will offer a dynamic blend of academic excellence and future-ready learning environments, tailored to meet the needs of SEDRA families and the wider Riyadh community.
Its world-class facilities are designed to inspire learning, creativity, and personal growth, featuring a 25m six-lane swimming pool, an eight-court sports hall, two padel courts, one full size floodlit football pitch, 2 basketball courts, a theatre with performing arts centre, cutting-edge science and technology labs, multiple music and art studios, and specialist libraries.
Mr. Darren Gale, Managing Director, GCC for Cognita Middle East, said: “We are delighted to expand King’s College Riyadh with the launch of the SEDRA campus. This new all-through school represents a significant step in our long-term vision to deliver exceptional British education in the Kingdom. King’s College Riyadh SEDRA will offer students a dynamic and supportive environment where they can grow, achieve and pursue their ambitions.”
Mr. Oussama Kabbani, Group Chief Development Officer of ROSHN Group, said: “The addition of King’s College Riyadh to SEDRA reflects our commitment to continually enhancing our offering for SEDRA residents and buyers. By integrating world-class private education into an active and growing community, we are expanding the options available to families and ensuring that SEDRA remains a vibrant, unparalleled destination. This partnership with Cognita Middle East reinforces ROSHN Group’s commitment to building human-centric environments that support the growth and well-being of future generations in line with Vision 2030.”
