PLEASE PLEASE HELP am starting to panic that kids wont have school to go to.school should be english speaking one and good academically,because i heard many schools staffs teaching and speaking in arabic which i dont want to happen with my son.also safety is another issue.plz reply soon.
The British School and the American School are both good options.
Riyadh has an excellent collection of good schools and I am sure you will find one to suit your sons needs. Check out the Expat Arrival's International Schools in Riyadh page for a list of prominent international schools.
You really shouldn't worry about the standard of teaching at these schools. Teachers are highly qualified and will teach according to the curriculum of each school and in a language that the children will be familiar with. Many of the teachers will actually be from the country itself and not from Saudi Arabia, so don't stress too much about the language barrier.
Good luck
