The UK curriculum, online for families across Saudi Arabia
Oxford Online School offers live, teacher-led British curriculum education for students aged 8 to 18 living in Saudi Arabia. Small classes, regular feedback and a structured school day - built for families who want a proper education, wherever they are.
British education delivered live, from Year 4 to Year 13
We are a fully online British school based in Oxford. Our students follow a timetabled day of live lessons with specialist teachers, progressing through the British curriculum and working towards internationally recognised qualifications. We have supported many families across Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf region, and our team is familiar with the practical questions expat and international families face.
The Oxford Online School difference
Live teaching with a consistent daily routine
Students attend live lessons during the UK school week, each taught by a subject specialist. The structured timetable keeps students in a clear daily routine, progressing through the curriculum alongside their classmates. Every lesson is interactive - students take part, ask questions and receive direct feedback from their teacher. From Year 10, lesson recordings are also available to support exam preparation.
Timetable and timings for Saudi Arabia
Oxford Online School follows UK time. Saudi Arabia is three hours ahead (GMT+3), so live lessons typically fall in the late morning to early evening local time. This works comfortably for most families across Riyadh, Jeddah and other cities. Download the time zone guide to see how the full timetable maps to Saudi Arabia Time.
Families who need a structured British education abroad
Oxford Online School regularly supports families across Saudi Arabia who want a recognised British education for their children. This includes British expatriate families wanting to continue a UK curriculum, international families preparing for GCSE, A Level or entry to UK universities, and families who relocate frequently and need an education that does not have to restart every time they move. If this matches your situation, get in touch with the admissions team to explore your options.
The complete UK curriculum online
Oxford Online School supports students from Year 4 to Year 13. Each stage follows a structured British curriculum with qualified subject specialists and a consistent weekly timetable.
Practical considerations for Saudi families
Saudi Arabia requires children of school age to be enrolled in an approved educational programme. Families considering Oxford Online School as their child's primary education should review their obligations under Saudi residency and education regulations before enrolling. Oxford Online School operates as a private British online school. Our admissions team has experience working with families across the Gulf and can help you understand your options.
