Why It Matters The initiative supports the Vision 2030 Quality of Life Programme, which seeks to improve urban living standards and enhance access to cultural and educational opportunities. By positioning schools as community hubs, the project addresses both social and educational goals:
foster social engagement. Where They Will Be Built
Expanding access to learning outside traditional hours P romoting cultural and recreational activities within local neighbourhoods B uilding stronger communities by providing inclusive gathering places Encouraging lifelong learning as part of everyday life
The schools will be located in residential neighbourhoods developed by the National Housing Company (NHC), known as NHC destinations. Construction will take place in:
Riyadh
Jeddah
Dammam
Al Ihsa
Tabuk
Medina Each facility will be integrated into the wider community centres within these developments, ensuring accessibility and reinforcing their role as inclusive gathering places. A Contemporary Vision The design philosophy is rooted in contemporary architecture that reflects the character of urban neighbourhoods. Open layouts and shared spaces are intended to blur the line between campus and community, creating environments that invite connection rather than separation. “These schools are designed to serve not only students but also families and neighbourhoods, making education part of the community fabric,” said a TBC official during the project announcement.
