Introduction

INTERNATIONAL INDIAN SCHOOL AL JUBAIL (IISJ), formerly known as the Embassy of India School, was founded on 30th November 1987. The establishment of IISJ is the culmination of the dedicated efforts of the Indian community of this region, under the patronage of His Excellency, the Ambassador of India and the active co-operation of the Directorate of Schools, Dammam and Riyadh. The school has entered a new era from portable cabins to four magnificent buildings, well-equipped with all modern amenities that a school of international standards should possess. These magnificent buildings were hired to accommodate the growing number of students in the Junior Primary Section from the academic year 2008-2009. The school aims at providing educational facilities on a 'no profit, no loss' basis at the Pre-Primary, Primary, Secondary and Senior Secondary levels. The school caters to the Indian citizens, irrespective of their caste, creed, region or religion. The school celebrated ‘Silver Jubilee Year’ of committed service to the Indian community in Al Jubail, KSA. In the year 2012, a new building for girls named ‘Silver Jubilee Block’ (SJB) was added to the ever-increasing school strength. A further extension and expansion of IIS Jubail was done by adding 18 new classrooms to SJB. The new classrooms were formally inaugurated and handed over to Girls’ Section on 29.03.2015.
