As AMAALA grows, we are building the services and infrastructure that make it a place people are proud to call home,’’
The inauguration was attended by Red Sea Global Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), John Pagano,, alongside other representatives from RSG, SEK Education Group and Majid Al-Kuair, Director General of Education in the Tabuk Region. John Pagano and Nieves Segovia formally marked the opening of the school.

Its curriculum and learning experiences place a strong focus on sustainability, wellbeing, innovation and marine sciences, reflecting AMAALA’s unique natural environment and positioning as a destination for wellbeing and regenerative tourism.
The campus features state-of-the-art science and technology laboratories, indoor and outdoor sports facilities, performing arts and music spaces, collaborative learning environments, a library and media center, and dedicated wellbeing and student support areas, designed to support an engaging and future-focused learning experience while reflecting RSG’s commitment to sustainable development
