Taj Riyadh International School had its beginnings in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It started as a small nursery for child care, owned and managed by Princess Fahda Bint Hathlool Abdul-Aziz Al Saud.<\/p>\n

In 1993, the school was named Riyadh Montessori and started to accommodate students to its nursery and preparatory programs. The school\u2019s enrollees gradually increased and several changes of location had to be made to cater this growth.<\/p>\n

As the school population increased, it also had to relocate. It also undertook changes in name, from Riyadh Montessori to Al Taj Private School to Al Taj National Elementary School, and finally to Al Taj International School, in 2001.<\/p>\n
