Frequently asked Questions
The King Fahad Academy is a school like no other – it is faith-based, international school following a demanding academic programme shared with international schools around the world. It is therefore quite distinct and different from its local neighbours.
Over twenty languages are spoken at the Academy as we welcome pupils from 24 different nationalities. The language of instruction is English throughout the curriculum but we also have a strong tradition of teaching Arabic.
We welcome applications from all countries and all communities, from those of faith and those who do not espouse a particular faith. The process is the same for all and involves completing an application form, allowing your child to undergo an assessment and a friendly but searching interview. There are more details on the Admissions page.
Our children can explore the world from their classrooms in West London. They can also explore the wonders of our Capital City in support of that learning. This is because at the heart of the IB Programme is the need to investigate, enquire and explore – and to go further than questions of what and who into areas of how and why. Our pupils will:
- be encouraged to think independently and drive their own learning
- take part in programmes of education that can lead them to some of the highest ranking universities around the world
- become more culturally aware, through the development of a second language be able to engage with people in an increasingly globalized, rapidly changing world.
IB pupils develop strong academic, social and emotional characteristics. They are also likely to perform well academically – often better than students on other programmes.
