Riyadh, Feb 10, 2026: Education group Cognita Middle East and ROSHN Group, a leading real estate developer from Saudi Arabia, have announced 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, the educational facility spans 36,300 m² and will initially welcome students from pre-school to Year 9, expanding year on year.  

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 qualifications such as IGCSEs, A-Levels, BTECs, or combined pathways. Arabic language and Saudi national subjects will be a core part of the curriculum.   

Darren Gale, Managing Director, GCC for Cognita Middle East says, “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.” 

The school is tailored to meet the needs of SEDRA families and the wider Riyadh community. SEDRA is home to more than 3,000 families.  The new campus will offer continuity for current King’s College Riyadh students while introducing a new school alongside SEDRA’s existing educational facilities.  

Oussama Kabbani, Group Chief Development Officer of ROSHN Group says, “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.”
