KENZ INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

What KENZ INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL does

KENZ INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (also marketed as KENZ Dale International School) is a private CBSE-affiliated international school founded on April 25, 2012, and located in Yanbu Al Bahr, Saudi Arabia. It was the first international school established in Yanbu Al Bahr and operates under the motto 'Celebrate Learning.' The school delivers education from Kindergarten (K1–K3, ages 3–5) through Grade 10, organized into three physically separated sections — Kindergarten, Girls Section (grades 1–10, female-only environment), and Boys Section (grades 1–10). The curriculum follows the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) framework under Affiliation No. 5730041 and School Code 90028, and is supplemented by co-curricular clubs (Reading, Art, Green, Sports). The school sits on a 4,100 sq meter campus with 22 classrooms averaging 320 sq ft each, plus four laboratories, an arts gallery, auditorium, library, and playgrounds. Faculty comprises 26 teaching staff (5 PGT, 10 TGT, 7 PRT, 1 special educator, 2 counsellor/wellness) plus academic principals and administration.

The institution is CBSE-affiliated and holds a Ministry of Education (KSA) license, building safety, fire safety, and water/health/sanitation certifications. A corporate office is maintained in Jeddah (Al-Rehab District) to handle administrative operations, separate from the Yanbu campus. Governance is led by Principal Ms. Manal Musannad AlJouhni, Academic Principal Mrs. Bindu Santhosh, and Principal Boys Section Mr. Ghalib AlRefai, with no identified parent company or external PE/VC backing.

The business model is straightforward: recurring tuition fees from enrolled families form the primary revenue stream, supplemented by a non-refundable SAR 100 registration fee per admission application. The full fee schedule is published as a PDF on the school website. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer — parents apply online via Google Forms, complete in-person registration with documentation, take entrance examinations (except KG), and receive principal approval. Marketing is conducted through Facebook (facebook.com/kenzglobal), the school's website (kenzglobal.com), and parent circulars. The technology stack is conventional: a third-party Campusman.in portal handles student and parent login, with no proprietary software or AI-enabled features. The first Class X CBSE board cohort sat for exams in 2024-25 with a 100% pass rate.

Broad incumbents

• Misk Schools: High-profile Saudi private school initiative operated under the Misk Foundation, targeting K-12 students in the Kingdom. Comparable as a Saudi private K-12 operator, but at significantly larger scale and with stronger institutional backing than KENZ.
• International Schools Group (ISG): One of the largest private K-12 operators in Saudi Arabia running multiple American and IB curriculum schools. Comparable as a large established private international school group operating in the same Saudi regulatory environment, though at materially greater scale and with Western rather than CBSE curriculum.

Direct peers

• Yara International School: International school in Saudi Arabia offering K-12 education to expatriate and local communities with English-medium curriculum. Comparable as a regional private international school competing for the same family demographic.
• Manara Schools: Private K-12 school in Saudi Arabia offering international curriculum tracks to local and expatriate families. Comparable as a similarly sized private international school competing for the same Saudi fee-paying family segment.
• Dunes International School: CBSE-affiliated international school operating in Saudi Arabia serving Indian-expatriate and local families with K-12 programs. Most directly comparable to KENZ on curriculum, target demographic, and operating model.

Regional players

• Dar Al-Fikr Schools: Long-established private school network in Saudi Arabia delivering K-12 education across multiple campuses. Comparable as a multi-site Saudi private school operator, though with a more Saudi-nationalistic curriculum orientation than CBSE.
