Opening of the Boys’ Section for Grades 6–9 at LOINS

In 2025, Learning Oasis International & National School (LOINS) proudly announces a strategic and transformative milestone in its educational journey: the official opening of its Boys’ Section for Grades 6 through 9. This expansion is not a simple addition to the school’s facilities; it is a direct response to the growing needs of families in Riyadh who seek a balanced, safe, and globally minded educational environment for their sons during the critical middle school years.

Why Did LOINS Add a Boys’ Section?

In recent years, parents in Riyadh have expressed increasing demand for schools that provide not only academic excellence but also holistic development. Families are searching for institutions that blend rigorous American curriculum in Saudi Arabia with strong emotional, social, and moral support.

The middle school years are not simply an extension of elementary education. They are a formative phase where students begin to understand themselves, expand their horizons, and navigate new challenges. Interests grow more diverse, spanning technology, science, sports, and the arts. At the same time, adolescents begin exploring questions of identity, independence, and belonging.

By opening the Boys’ Section, LOINS is responding directly to the needs of the educational community in Riyadh. The goal is to provide a setting where boys can excel academically while also receiving mentorship and guidance from teachers trained in emotional intelligence.

Targeted Grade Levels

The Boys’ Section at LOINS covers Grades 6 through 9, each with a distinctive focus.

• Grade 6: Transition from childhood to early adolescence. Emphasis on independence, responsibility, and adapting to new demands. Supported by student community initiatives. 
• Grades 7 & 8: Core middle school years, focusing on mathematics, sciences, languages, and social studies. Encouragement of critical thinking and collaborative learning within the MYP framework. 
• Grade 9: Preparation for high school and advanced academics. Students explore long-term goals and career interests, aligned with IB programmes. 

Features of the Boys’ Section: Curriculum, Activities, and Learning Environment
