Psychoeducational Evaluations in Riyadh
Private Psychoeducational Assessments for Riyadh International Schools
At Global Education Testing – Riyadh, we provide private, internationally recognised Psychoeducational Evaluations for students attending leading international schools across the region. Our assessments identify learning differences such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, ADHD, and anxiety, helping students gain the support they need to thrive both in class and in high-stakes exams.
We work closely with families from British International School Riyadh (BISR), American International School – Riyadh (AIS-R), Kingdom Schools, Multinational School Riyadh, Rowad Al Khaleej, and other top-tier schools. Whether your child is preparing for the IB, iGCSE, A-Levels, or Advanced Placement, our reports provide the formal documentation required to unlock extra time, separate settings, and other exam accommodations that can make all the difference.
If you’ve ever had a gut feeling that your child is working twice as hard just to keep up, we’re here to help you find out why. Many students are highly capable but struggle silently with core learning skills. Our testing process is designed to bring clarity—to show how your child learns, where the challenges lie, and what tailored strategies will help them succeed.
All assessments are conducted privately via secure video link, by our team of female, British, Australian or USA trained and registered Educational psychologists. We are proud to offer a culturally sensitive and fully confidential service. Only you decide who sees the results—nothing is shared with the school or anyone else without your consent.
While local Saudi educational psychologists can provide valuable diagnostic services, the international school system requires assessments conducted by UK, US, or Australian registered educational psychologists using internationally recognised frameworks (DSM-5, ICD-11) to unlock extra time and exam accommodations with international exam boards such as Cambridge, IB, and College Board. These internationally credentialed assessments are also essential for acceptance by universities worldwide.
Our evaluations are especially valuable for families navigating international school transitions or preparing for competitive university admissions in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and beyond. A formal assessment can make a critical difference—not just in academic outcomes, but in confidence, motivation, and long-term educational opportunity.
Let us help you understand what’s really going on—and what’s possible next.
American International School Riyadh stands as Saudi Arabia’s premier American curriculum institution, serving the international community since 1963. With over 1,500 students pursuing rigorous academics alongside the prestigious IB Diploma Programme, AIS-R families represent some of the most academically ambitious and globally mobile expatriates in the Kingdom.
The exceptional leadership team and dedicated faculty at AIS-R have built a reputation for academic excellence that opens doors to the world’s finest universities. Their commitment to supporting every student’s individual learning journey has made AIS-R the gold standard for American education in the region, and we’re honored to work alongside their outstanding educators and counseling team.
At Global Education Testing – Riyadh, we understand the unique pressures facing AIS-R students. Whether your child is navigating the demanding American curriculum, preparing for Advanced Placement exams, working toward their IB Diploma, or planning for competitive university admissions in the United States and beyond, academic excellence requires more than just hard work—it requires understanding how your child learns best.
Many AIS-R families come to us when they sense their bright, capable child is struggling despite their best efforts. Perhaps your student excels in class discussions but falters on written assessments. Maybe they’re working twice as hard as their peers just to keep up with the rigorous coursework that AIS-R is known for. Or you might be preparing for the crucial SAT, AP exams, or IB assessments where accommodations could make the difference between good scores and exceptional ones.
Our comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations serve a dual purpose for AIS-R families: supporting current academic success and meeting university admission requirements. Many top-tier universities now require or strongly recommend psychological assessments as part of the admissions process, particularly when students plan to access disability services or accommodations at the university level.
We identify learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, processing speed challenges, and executive functioning difficulties that can impact performance across the American curriculum. More importantly, our internationally credentialed assessments provide the formal documentation required by College Board, IB Organization, and prestigious universities worldwide to access crucial exam accommodations and support services.
For AIS-R families, a professional evaluation isn’t just about academic support—it’s about unlocking your child’s full potential in one of the region’s most competitive educational environments and ensuring they’re positioned for success in the global university landscape that awaits them, with the full backing of AIS-R’s exceptional educational foundation.
British International School Riyadh (BISR) is one of the most prestigious international schools in Saudi Arabia, delivering a rigorous British curriculum from Early Years through to A-Levels. With campuses across Riyadh and a strong reputation built over decades, BISR serves a diverse and globally mobile community of high-achieving expatriate families who value academic excellence, strong pastoral care, and a commitment to holistic education.
As students progress through Key Stages, GCSEs, and A-Level pathways, the demands of the British curriculum intensify—particularly for those preparing for competitive university admissions in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and beyond. At Global Education Testing – Riyadh, we work closely with BISR families who want clarity, support, and a formal understanding of how their child learns best.
Many of the families we support at BISR arrive with a common concern: their bright and articulate child is underperforming in timed written exams or struggling to keep pace with coursework that doesn’t reflect their true ability. Teachers may suspect a learning difference, or parents may notice their child working far harder than peers for the same result. This is often the moment when families seek out a trusted educational psychologist to conduct a full psychoeducational evaluation or a targeted dyslexia assessment.
Our comprehensive educational assessments identify a wide range of learning differences including dyslexia, ADHD, processing speed difficulties, working memory challenges, and executive functioning weaknesses. These are not always visible in the classroom but have a major impact on performance under exam conditions.
For BISR students, the outcome of our assessments can be transformational. Our reports provide the formal documentation required to apply for extra time in exams, reader/scribe accommodations, and access arrangements for GCSEs, A-Levels, and university entrance exams such as the UCAT, BMAT, LNAT, Oxford and Cambridge assessments, and more. Our team of female, British-trained educational psychologists understands the expectations of UK exam boards and writes reports specifically designed to be accepted by Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel, and university disability support offices worldwide.
Importantly, our assessments remain 100% confidential—only parents decide if and when to share the results with the school. This privacy, paired with our deep understanding of the UK academic system, makes our testing process both trusted and effective for families navigating BISR’s high-performance environment.
At Global Education Testing, we are proud to support the ambitious, thoughtful families of British International School Riyadh, helping their children thrive not only in school, but in the years of higher education that follow. In partnership with BISR’s outstanding educators and support team, we help unlock each student’s potential—academically, emotionally, and globally.
King Faisal School (KFS) in Riyadh is one of Saudi Arabia’s most respected academic institutions, offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum from Primary Years through to the Diploma Programme. With a proud tradition of academic rigour, bilingual excellence, and civic responsibility, KFS prepares students to thrive in global universities while remaining grounded in Saudi heritage and values.
At Global Education Testing – Riyadh, we support the KFS community by providing private, internationally recognised psychoeducational evaluations for students who may be struggling silently despite their potential. Whether your child is working toward the IB Diploma, planning for overseas university admissions, or simply finding aspects of reading, writing, or attention unusually difficult—formal clarity can make all the difference.
Many KFS families reach out to us when their child is performing inconsistently: perhaps strong in verbal presentations, but unable to finish written assessments within the time allowed. Or maybe they work tirelessly at home, but the grades don’t reflect their true effort. These are often early signs of learning differences like dyslexia, ADHD, slow processing speed, or executive functioning challenges—conditions that affect performance but are often missed in the absence of a formal educational assessment.
Our team of British-trained female educational psychologists specialises in comprehensive dyslexia assessments, attention and focus profiles, and full-scale psychoeducational testing designed to meet the highest international standards. These reports are accepted by IB exam boards, SAT/ACT authorities, and top-tier global universities, including those in the UK, United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe.
For students at KFS, our assessments are not only about uncovering what’s holding them back—they are about unlocking practical supports that allow them to flourish. Our documentation can be used to formally apply for extra time in IB exams, access to a separate testing room, and other essential exam accommodations that level the playing field without lowering the bar.
Most importantly, all assessments are completely private. Only the family decides whether to share the results with the school or include them in university applications. We work discreetly and sensitively, respecting each family’s values, preferences, and educational goals.
In a school like King Faisal—where tradition meets innovation, and academic excellence is expected—our evaluations provide clarity, strategy, and confidence. We are proud to partner with the families of KFS to ensure their children are not only working hard, but working smart, with the insight and support they need to succeed on the global stage.
Advanced Learning Schools (ALS) in Riyadh offers a truly international education, combining the American curriculum with the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme in a nurturing, bilingual environment. Known for its strong academic culture, personal attention, and global outlook, ALS attracts ambitious families who value academic integrity, holistic development, and preparation for top-tier universities worldwide.
At Global Education Testing – Riyadh, we support ALS students and families by providing private, internationally recognised psychoeducational evaluations that uncover how a student learns—and what supports may be needed to help them thrive. Whether your child is preparing for Advanced Placement exams, the IB Diploma, or future applications to competitive universities in the United States, UK, Canada, or beyond, our testing offers clarity and strategy at the moments that matter most.
Families at ALS often come to us with a quiet but persistent concern: their bright, hardworking child is falling short of their potential in exams, written work, or classroom focus. In many cases, the issue isn’t motivation—it’s dyslexia, ADHD, slow processing speed, or other learning differences that are invisible until pressure builds. This is where a qualified educational psychologist and a formal educational assessment can change the trajectory of a student’s school experience.
Our evaluations are conducted remotely by our team of female, British-trained psychologists, and each report is written to meet the formal requirements of the IB Organisation, College Board, Cambridge, and global university admissions departments. We identify learning profiles, highlight strengths, and document any barriers to performance in a way that is both psychologically rigorous and practically useful.
For ALS students, the outcomes can be transformative. Our reports are used to secure:
- Extra time in exams (IB, AP, SAT, etc.)
- Accommodations for class-based assessments
- Personalised learning strategies
- University support services post-admission
All assessments are 100% private and confidential—parents alone decide whether and how results are shared. Nothing is sent to the school unless you choose to involve them.
In a school like ALS, where character, intellect, and internationalism are woven into the learning experience, we help ensure that no capable student is left behind simply because their learning style doesn’t fit the mould. With formal assessment, families gain the clarity and evidence they need to support their child’s journey—at ALS and in the global academic future that lies ahead.
King’s College Riyadh brings the excellence of a leading British independent school to the heart of Saudi Arabia, offering a rigorous UK curriculum grounded in academic tradition, pastoral care, and global citizenship. As a partner school of King’s College Taunton in the UK, it provides a deeply enriched learning experience from Early Years through to Senior School, preparing students for success in GCSEs, A-Levels, and top global universities.
At Global Education Testing – Riyadh, we work closely with families from King’s College who are navigating the challenges of a demanding academic pathway. Our private, internationally recognised psychoeducational evaluations are designed for students who are capable, curious, and motivated—but who may be struggling in ways that aren’t always visible. Whether it’s dyslexia, ADHD, processing speed issues, or executive functioning difficulties, we help families identify the underlying reasons a bright child might be underperforming or working twice as hard as their peers.
Parents often seek us out when their child seems to hit a wall with timed assessments, written expression, or organisation—despite obvious intelligence and engagement. These difficulties are particularly common during the transition into exam-focused years, and a professional educational assessment can provide the clarity and documentation needed to move forward with confidence.
Our evaluations are conducted by female, British-trained educational psychologists, with full understanding of the UK curriculum and exam board expectations. Reports are written to meet the formal requirements of Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel, and AQA, and can be submitted to apply for:
- Extra time in exams
- Separate or quiet exam settings
- Reader/scribe accommodations
- Access arrangements for GCSE and A-Level assessments
- Support services at UK and international universities
We also specialise in dyslexia assessments, memory and processing speed profiling, and comprehensive psychological testing that supports both academic and emotional wellbeing.
Most importantly, all testing is 100% private and confidential. Only parents decide if results are shared with the school or used in university applications. Our process is respectful, culturally sensitive, and aligned with the high expectations of King’s College Riyadh families.
For students at King’s College, academic excellence is a shared goal between home and school. Our role is to ensure every learner has the tools, strategies, and support they need to reach their full potential—through school, university, and beyond.
SEK International School Riyadh represents the prestigious SEK Education Group’s commitment to excellence in the heart of Saudi Arabia. Located in the modern Al Rabieh district, this co-educational, multilingual institution has established itself as a beacon of innovative international education, serving both local and expatriate families with distinction.
The visionary leadership and exceptional faculty at SEK-Riyadh have created a truly unique learning environment that seamlessly blends academic rigor with cultural sensitivity. Their multilingual approach and commitment to developing global citizens has earned SEK-Riyadh recognition as one of the most forward-thinking international schools in the Kingdom. We deeply respect their dedication to nurturing each student’s individual potential and are privileged to support their educational mission.
At Global Education Testing – Riyadh, we understand the distinctive challenges facing SEK-Riyadh students navigating a multilingual, multicultural academic environment. Whether your child is excelling in their trilingual studies, preparing for international examinations, or adapting to the school’s innovative pedagogical approaches, success in such a sophisticated educational setting requires a deep understanding of how your child processes information across languages and learning modalities.
Many SEK-Riyadh families seek our services when they notice their capable child facing unexpected challenges despite the school’s exceptional support systems. Perhaps your student thrives in Spanish or English but struggles with specific academic tasks, or maybe they’re experiencing difficulties that seem inconsistent with their obvious intelligence and the quality education SEK-Riyadh provides.
Our comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations are essential for SEK-Riyadh families, serving both immediate academic needs and future university admission requirements. As students prepare for international universities, particularly in Spain, the UK, US, and other global destinations, many institutions now require or strongly recommend psychological assessments as part of the admissions process.
We identify learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, processing speed challenges, and language processing difficulties that can impact performance in multilingual academic environments. Our internationally credentialed assessments provide the formal documentation required by international exam boards and universities worldwide to access crucial accommodations and support services.
For SEK-Riyadh families, a professional evaluation ensures your child can fully benefit from the school’s outstanding multilingual education while being optimally positioned for success in the competitive international university landscape, building upon the exceptional foundation that SEK-Riyadh’s dedicated educators have provided.
Reigate Grammar School Riyadh brings the academic traditions and high standards of one of the UK’s top independent schools to the Kingdom, offering a British curriculum that emphasises excellence, wellbeing, and global readiness. As a sister school to the historic Reigate Grammar School in Surrey, it serves a community of ambitious, internationally minded families seeking the best of British education in a nurturing and forward-thinking environment.
At Global Education Testing – Riyadh, we support Reigate families by providing private, internationally recognised psychoeducational evaluations that help unlock the full potential of students navigating the demands of the British system. From Key Stage 2 through to IGCSE and A-Level preparation, many students thrive in Reigate’s rich academic environment—but for some, hidden learning differences can make even the most capable student struggle to keep up. Parents often come to us when their child is bright, articulate, and curious, yet falters under timed conditions or finds written tasks unusually difficult. It may be that they are reading slowly, struggling to organise thoughts on paper, or burning out from the sheer effort it takes to stay on top of assignments. These signs often point to underlying issues such as dyslexia, ADHD, slow processing speed, or executive functioning difficulties—conditions that affect academic performance but are frequently missed without formal assessment.
Our educational psychologists, all female and British-trained, conduct thorough assessments that meet international best practice standards. Each educational assessment is designed not only to diagnose learning difficulties but to provide meaningful recommendations that align with the expectations of UK exam boards such as Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel. The resulting reports are detailed, evidence-based, and suitable for securing formal accommodations such as extra time in exams, use of a laptop, separate settings, and other access arrangements that can dramatically improve exam performance without compromising academic integrity.
For families planning university study in the UK, US, Canada, or Australia, our assessments are also a powerful asset in preparing documentation for disability support services, personal statement guidance, and broader academic planning. Importantly, all evaluations are completely confidential. Nothing is shared with the school unless parents choose to involve them, and the process is always delivered with cultural sensitivity and care.
In an environment like Reigate Grammar School Riyadh (where character, scholarship, and individual excellence are celebrated) formal testing provides clarity and confidence for students who are working hard but not seeing the results they deserve. We are proud to work alongside Reigate families and educators in ensuring that every student is understood, supported, and positioned to thrive both at school and in the competitive world of international university admissions.
Aldenham Prep Riyadh brings the heritage and academic ethos of the renowned Aldenham School in the UK to Saudi Arabia, offering a rigorous British curriculum within a nurturing, forward-thinking environment. With a strong emphasis on academic foundations, character development, and pastoral care, Aldenham Prep serves families who are preparing their children for entrance into selective senior schools in the UK and around the world—laying the groundwork early for long-term educational success.
At Global Education Testing Riyadh, we support Aldenham families by providing private, internationally recognised psychoeducational evaluations designed to uncover the unique learning profiles of high-potential students. Many of the families we work with begin to notice subtle signs: a bright, articulate child who struggles to keep up with written work, needs significantly more time to complete homework, or experiences anxiety around tests and assessments. These may be early indicators of dyslexia, ADHD, processing speed difficulties, or executive functioning challenges, issues that are often masked by strong verbal reasoning or high overall intelligence.
Our assessments are conducted by female, British-trained educational psychologists who are deeply familiar with the structure and demands of UK preparatory and senior school systems. Each educational assessment includes a full cognitive profile, academic attainment testing, working memory and attention measures, and tailored recommendations suited to British curriculum expectations. For many students, these assessments form the basis for securing extra time in entrance exams, support in class-based assessments, and long-term learning strategies that reduce academic stress.
Because Aldenham Prep Riyadh is designed to prepare students for entry into prestigious UK senior schools—including those requiring ISEB, UKiset, or 11+ entrance exams—our evaluations are often used to support early applications for access arrangements, both in Year 6 and beyond. As students move toward IGCSEs, A-Levels, or international university admissions, our reports continue to provide formal documentation accepted by exam boards such as Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel, and leading universities in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia.
All assessments are carried out remotely via secure video link and remain 100% confidential. Parents decide whether to share results with the school or use them solely for exam boards and long-term planning. Our approach is warm, culturally sensitive, and designed to empower families at early academic stages, offering clarity now and building confidence for what lies ahead.
In a setting like Aldenham Prep Riyadh, where early academic guidance is paired with ambition and tradition, a formal psychoeducational evaluation can be one of the most powerful tools in understanding your child’s full potential, and ensuring they are supported to reach it, every step of the way.
