Red Sea Global & SEK to Open IB Schools at The Red Sea & AMAALA

Red Sea Global (RSG) has partnered with the Spain-based SEK Education Group to open two International Baccalaureate (IB) schools at its flagship tourism destinations, The Red Sea and AMAALA, from September 2025. The Turtle Bay International School and Daraah International School will initially admit up to 120 pupils, aged from four months to 14 years, with capacity expected to grow to 726 pupils over time.

The schools will adopt SEK’s globally recognised IB curriculum, placing emphasis on personalised learning, critical thinking, and creativity. Both sites will offer modern facilities, including fully equipped science laboratories, collaborative maker spaces, a sports complex, and a library offering extensive digital resources.

Priority admission will be granted to the children of Red Sea Global staff and employees working at The Red Sea and AMAALA resorts.

SEK, which already operates a campus in Riyadh, aims to bolster its presence in the Middle East through this partnership.

Located within Turtle Bay village at The Red Sea and at AMAALA, the schools will serve local residents and expatriates alike, supporting RSG’s wider vision for its regenerative tourism hubs. The Red Sea destination currently features five operational hotels and its own international airport, with full Phase One completion expected later this year. AMAALA, meanwhile, is set to launch by the end of 2025 as a luxury wellness destination featuring eight resorts.
