Al-Hejaz International Schools (HIS) is preparing to take student learning beyond the classroom with an exciting international educational Journey to Malaysia for Years 8–9 students, marking a new milestone in the school’s renewed journey under Dr. Abeer Attalla Educational Group (ATG).

Taking place from 19 to 25 November 2026, this seven-day, six-night journey will give students the opportunity to explore new cultures, discover inspiring places, and gain valuable experiences in an international setting. The trip marks the first international learning adventure of its kind in HIS’s renewed journey under ATG, reflecting the school’s commitment to enriching the student experience through opportunities that extend beyond traditional classroom learning.

Journey to Malaysia Through Learning and Exploration

Malaysia offers a unique combination of cultural diversity, modern cities, natural beauty, and educational opportunities, making it an exciting destination for young learners.

During the trip, students will explore Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s vibrant capital, and Langkawi, an island known for its beautiful landscapes. The itinerary is designed to combine cultural experiences, university visits, and opportunities to discover the country’s distinctive character.

These experiences will encourage students to engage with different perspectives, learn about new environments, and develop a broader understanding of the world around them. By experiencing another culture firsthand, students can connect their classroom knowledge with real-life discoveries and develop a greater appreciation for global diversity.

Building Independence and Lifelong Skills

International educational trips provide valuable opportunities for students to grow academically, socially, and personally. Away from their familiar routines, students can develop greater independence, strengthen their communication skills, and learn to adapt to new situations.

The Malaysia trip is designed to help Years 8–9 students build confidence, take greater responsibility, and develop meaningful connections with their classmates. Exploring new destinations together will also encourage teamwork, cooperation, and mutual understanding.

Beyond the destinations themselves, the shared experiences and challenges of travelling as a group can help students strengthen friendships and create lasting memories. These are important parts of growing up that contribute to students’ development both inside and outside school.

A New Chapter in the HIS Student Experience

At Al-Hejaz International Schools, this international journey represents more than a school trip. It reflects the beginning of a new chapter in creating meaningful educational experiences that inspire curiosity, encourage exploration, and prepare students for a connected world.

Under the leadership of Dr. Abeer Attalla Educational Group (ATG), HIS continues its renewed journey with a focus on opportunities that support students’ academic development and personal growth.

By introducing international learning experiences, the school aims to help students become more confident, independent, and open-minded individuals who are ready to embrace future opportunities.

At Al-Hejaz International Schools, the journey towards a brighter future goes far beyond the classroom.

Saudi National Day is a special occasion that brings people across the Kingdom together to celebrate the nation’s heritage, identity, achievements, and aspirations for the future. At Al-Hejaz International Schools in Jeddah, Saudi National Day 96 was an opportunity for our students, teachers, and school community to come together and celebrate the rich culture and proud identity of Saudi Arabia.

The celebration created a joyful and vibrant atmosphere across the school, allowing students to experience the spirit of Saudi National Day through shared moments of pride and cultural appreciation. It was a meaningful occasion that reflected the strong connection between education, national identity, and the values that shape the younger generation.

Celebrating Saudi Heritage and National Identity

At Al-Hejaz International Schools, we believe that education extends beyond academic learning. It also gives students opportunities to understand the society and culture around them, appreciate their heritage, and develop a strong sense of belonging.

Saudi National Day provides a valuable opportunity for students to learn more about the Kingdom’s history and traditions while celebrating the progress Saudi Arabia continues to achieve. Through the celebration, students were able to express their appreciation for the country and take part in an occasion that holds a special place in the hearts of people across the Kingdom.

The school community came together in a spirit of happiness, pride, and unity, creating memorable moments for students and staff alike.

A Celebration for the School Community

National occasions such as Saudi National Day help bring the school community closer together. Students from different backgrounds can share in the celebration while gaining a deeper appreciation of Saudi culture and national values.

For an international school in Jeddah, creating this balance between a global educational outlook and a strong connection to Saudi identity is an important part of the student experience. Celebrating national occasions allows students to recognize the importance of heritage while remaining open to the wider world.

The Saudi National Day 96 celebration at Al-Hejaz International Schools reflected this spirit, bringing together education, culture, and community in a memorable school experience.

Looking Towards the Future

Saudi National Day is not only a celebration of the Kingdom’s past; it is also a reminder of its ambitions for the future. As Saudi Arabia continues to grow and develop, young people have an important role to play in shaping the next chapter of the nation’s journey.

At Al-Hejaz International Schools, we are proud to support our students as they develop the knowledge, skills, confidence, and values they need to become responsible members of their communities and future leaders.

As we look ahead, we remain proud of our Saudi heritage and inspired by the opportunities that lie before the next generation.

Al-Hejaz International Schools proudly wishes the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a Happy 96th Saudi National Day.
