Al-Falah Private Schools

Al-Falah Private Schools are a group of private endowment, boys-only schools established by Mohammed Ali Zinal in the cities of Jeddah and Makkah al-Mukarramah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Jeddah branch was established in 1905, and the Makkah al-Mukarramah branch was established in 1912.

Al-Falah Private Schools focus on teaching religious and modern sciences at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. They are overseen by the Ministry of Education,and rely on endowments and an annual government grant for funding. Their educational plan is based on the public education curriculum.

Al-Falah Private Schools rely on approved curricula to provide education. They target high-achieving students in the Kingdom to empower them and equip them with various skills such as active listening, smart questioning, critical and analytical reading, confident and persuasive speaking, and eloquent writing. The schools also seek the development of critical thinking, communication, problem-solving, and research skills. Additionally, students are trained in initiative and achievement, preparing them for university education. Al-Falah Schools in Makkah al-Mukarramah have thirty-six classrooms and approximately 950 students, while in Jeddah, there are twenty-seven classrooms and 610 students.

Al-Falah Private Schools require students to pass the school's achievement tests, in addition to meeting several admission requirements specific to each grade. The schools admit graduates of al-Falah Elementary Schools to the middle school if they have achieved a score of 80 percent or higher on the Arabic, Mathematics, and Science exams. For the high school, the schools admit graduates of al-Falah Middle Schools with a score of 80 percent or higher on the final exams in Arabic, Mathematics, Science, and English. Admission to al-Falah Schools is also available to students from other schools if there are vacancies in the first year of middle school and the first year of high school, provided that the student is academically excellent and passes the competitive examination prepared by al-Falah Schools.

Al-Falah Private Schools offer a variety of programs to enrich the educational process, including the Holy Quran Program, the Prophetic Sunnah Program, professional development, professional learning communities, quality, literary and performing arts club, policies and guidelines of information and communication technologies, educational supervision, preventive counseling, volunteer service-learning, and parent partnership programs.
