Smart, Personalized U.S. Admissions Support for Saudi Families
Sub Categories
From Riyadh to Jeddah, we help high-performing students from Saudi Arabia navigate the wild world of U.S. admissions with confidence, clarity, and a solid strategy.
Coming from some of the most competitive schools in the Kingdom, Saudi students have the grades and the drive, but U.S. admissions isn’t just about numbers. It’s about storytelling, strategy, and understanding what makes American schools say yes.
At Cardinal Education, we take each student’s accomplishments and turn them into a compelling, cohesive application that actually sounds like them (just a little sharper).
We’ve worked with families from top Saudi schools, including American International School-Riyadh, British International School Jeddah, and Dhahran High School, helping them secure spots at elite U.S. schools that align with their goals and personality.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will my child need to travel to the U.S. for interviews or testing?
In most cases, nope. Thanks to Zoom, online proctoring, and the magic of the internet, a lot of interviews and testing can be done right from your living room in Riyadh or Jeddah. Some elite schools or colleges might offer in-person options, but they’re rarely required.
If travel is necessary or preferred, we will help you plan wisely and maximize the visit. Whether your child is logging in with a fresh haircut or flying in for a campus tour, we’ll prep them so they shine either way. Think of us as your admissions travel agent with a strategy hat on.
- Do you work with students who are homeschooled or enrolled in non-international schools in Saudi Arabia?
Absolutely. We love working with students from all educational backgrounds, including homeschooled learners and those in local Saudi or hybrid schools. What matters most is your child’s story, not the school name on the report card. We help bridge the gap between different academic systems and what U.S. admissions officers expect to see.
From building strong transcripts to finding ways to showcase learning outside the traditional classroom, we make sure your child’s education stands out for all the right reasons. Bottom line? If your child is learning and growing, we’re ready to help turn that into a winning application.
- Can you help with athletic recruitment or portfolios for visual and performing arts?
Yes, and we actually love these types of students. Whether your child is chasing goals on the soccer field or painting masterpieces in their bedroom, we know how to package talent in a way that gets admissions officers—and coaches or arts faculty—paying attention.
We’ll help create highlight reels, prepare audition videos, build art portfolios, and craft the kind of narrative that showcases both skill and personality. We’ll also guide you through specialized application timelines and requirements.
Basically, if your student is multi-talented and aiming high, we’ll help them present their work like a pro, not just a passionate hobbyist.
- What happens after my child receives an offer—do you help with enrollment, transition, or post-admissions support?
We’re not the type to disappear once the acceptance letter arrives. In fact, some of our most helpful work happens after the confetti settles. We help families compare offers, navigate the enrollment process, and make sure all the paperwork is handled without drama.
If your child is heading to boarding school or relocating for college, we’ll walk you through everything from course selection to orientation prep. We also support students adjusting to life in the U.S.—how to write to teachers, make friends, or even just find decent snacks in the dining hall. We stick around because we know the journey’s just beginning.
