Background
On the strength of its license from the Ministry of Education in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Permit No. 248/S) and its government permit to operate from the Philippine Department of Education (Permit No. 004, s. 2007), the Al Taj International School aspires to provide quality education designed for the welfare of its pupils and students.
With its competent administrator, the school commits itself to develop the total personality – physical, mental, social, and emotional – of each child entrusted under its care and supervision.
The Al Taj International School had its beginnings in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It started as a small nursery for child care, owned and managed by Princess Fahda Bint Hathlool Abdul-Aziz Al Saud.
In 1993, the school was named Riyadh Montessori and started to accommodate students to its nursery and preparatory programs. The school’s enrollees gradually increased and several changes of location had to be made to cater this growth.
As the school population increased, it also had to relocate. It also undertook changes in name, from Riyadh Montessori to Al Taj Private School to Al Taj National Elementary School, and finally to Al Taj International School, in 2001.
Through the leadership of School Administrator, Dr. Amelita P. dela Cruz, the school was granted the Provisional Government Permit by the Philippine Department of Education on 3 April 2006.
