DISTRICT NOTES
From the Superintendent
August 30, 2008
Dear Parents,
We are appreciative that you wish to send your child(ren) to an ISG school. We continue to work with the Ministry of Education for Muslim approvals for all of our students. However, we are now asking that parents directly approach the Ministry of Education in Riyadh for Muslim approval for their child(ren). This process seems to be more effective.
The contact at the Ministry of Education is:
Dr. Khalid Al-Sheim
General Director for Private and Foreign Education
Ministry of Education
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
FAX: 01-401-0896 /
PHONE: 01-406-8614 or 01-406-8301
Should your sponsoring company wish to register their concern about the difficulties being faced with gaining Muslim approvals for their employees, other contacts are:
HRH Prince Mohammed, Prince of the Eastern Province
Eastern Province Emirate
Dammam, Saudi Arabia
Phone: 03-833-0000 x 2422, 2919, 2261, 2143

Please be assured that we continue to work with the Ministry of Education so that, hopefully, we will have a successful resolution and will obtain approval for all Muslim students who wish to attend ISG schools.
