At Global Education Testing, we deliver international standard psychoeducational assessments for students attending Advanced Learning Schools Riyadh. Our services are tailored to meet the specific needs of students in international schools and are recognized worldwide.
If your child is currently enrolled at Advanced Learning Schools, or preparing to apply, a private psychoeducational evaluation may be recommended in the following scenarios:
School-Initiated Concerns: Teachers and academic staff at Advanced Learning Schools may request an assessment when a student is not performing to their full potential, despite adequate teaching and support. These evaluations help determine whether learning differences such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, or ADHD are contributing factors, and whether accommodations or interventions are appropriate.
Admissions Requirements: During the admissions process, Advanced Learning Schools’s team may request a comprehensive evaluation for new applicants whose previous school reports indicate the need for additional academic or behavioral support.
Parental Observations: Parents are often the first to recognize when something is not quite right. Whether your child is struggling academically, finding it difficult to focus, or experiencing emotional challenges, a full psychoeducational assessment can bring clarity and direction. Our evaluations are conducted by British and American registered Educational Psychologists with extensive experience in international school settings.
University Applications & Extra Time for Exams: For Advanced Learning Schools students preparing to apply to competitive universities in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia, formal documentation of a learning profile is essential when applying for exam accommodations. Our reports meet and exceed the standards required for extra time and other exam support in international qualifications such as the IB, IGCSE, A-Levels, SAT, and ACT.

Why Families at Advanced Learning Schools Riyadh Need Internationally Recognized Psychoeducational Assessments
International school families at Advanced Learning Schools often face serious limitations when relying on local educational psychologists. Most local assessments do not follow globally accepted frameworks like the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) or ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases), and tend to focus narrowly on traditional learning issues such as reading or maths delays.
What’s often missing is a comprehensive evaluation of emotional wellbeing, factors like anxiety, executive functioning challenges, or school-based stress that significantly affect a student’s academic performance.
This can lead to partial or inaccurate diagnoses that lack the international credibility required for exam accommodations or university applications abroad.
Assessments from local practitioners are frequently rejected by exam boards and admissions offices in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia, forcing families to repeat the entire process.
For globally mobile families at Advanced Learning Schools, a full international-standard psychoeducational evaluation is essential. Our assessments are conducted by British and American registered psychologists, follow DSM-5 and ICD-11 guidelines, and are accepted by all major exam boards and international universities.
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.
