Everything at Downe House Riyadh is designed to encourage, stimulate, and inspire pupils. The school aims to promote genuine personal enquiry and intellectual curiosity. It nurtures individual talents and interests beyond the academic sphere and fosters a culture of inclusivity and respect for others.

What does it mean to be a Downe House girl? The answer is in the key characteristics known as the Downe House DNA – Compassion, Collaboration, Resilience, Creativity, Aspiration, Communication, being Outward Looking and Digital Ready.

In the classroom, on the playing field and everywhere in between, these core values are the hope, aim and challenge for every girl. We give the girls every opportunity to develop these eight important skills and characteristics through all aspects of life at Downe House.

Downe House’s DNA and approach to education is sympathetic to every stage of a Downe House pupil’s journey. Starting with a warm and happy environment, pupils are encouraged to build their confidence and character whilst working with and caring for others. As they move through the school, the pupils combine their passion for learning with their developing skills to explore their ambitions, which prepares them thoroughly for life beyond school.

A Downe House education is focused on excellent academic outcomes, enabling our pupils to realise their own unique potential and for our Downe House girls to gain entry into the very best universities in the world.
