Cultivating Creativity, Fostering Confidence: Building Foundations for Life

by Belinda Breeze

At Bright Schools Montessori International in Riyadh they raise thoughtful, considerate, loving, intelligent, appreciative, Earth-conscious, caring, beautiful souls and minds with a programme that teaches young children advanced concepts in all aspects of development.

Bright follows the Montessori method of education which, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, emphasises self-directed learning within a prepared environment that caters to the individual needs and interests of each child


While the programme is heavily embedded with technology, it still manages to teach children the importance of communication and working with others


The school prioritises the development of independence, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning, valuing hands-on, experiential learning, and encouraging children to explore their interests at their own pace. Importantly, while the programme is heavily embedded with technology, it still manages to teach children the importance of communication and working with others.


The school is very proud of its diversity and culture and offers a range of languages, including Arabic and French. Each week children are able to talk about artists, inventors, scientists, and any subject in which they show an interest. Bright wants its children to develop their skills at an early age so that they come naturally to them when they are older. Many children who graduate from Bright are even able to explain the plant-reproduction cycle in-depth!


Bright focuses on the holistic development of each child, encompassing not only academic growth but also social, emotional, and physical development. The Montessori method emphasises the importance of educating the whole child and nurturing their natural curiosity and creativity.

Moreover, as an international Montessori school, Bright lays emphasis on cultural understanding and global awareness, exposing students to diverse perspectives and experiences.
