If your child is currently enrolled at The King Faisal School, or preparing to apply, a private psychoeducational evaluation may be recommended in the following scenarios:
School-Initiated Concerns: Teachers and academic staff at The King Faisal School 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, The King Faisal School’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 The King Faisal School 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.

Why Families at The King Faisal School Riyadh Need Internationally Recognized Psychoeducational Assessments
International school families at The King Faisal School 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 The King Faisal School, 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.
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.
