Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind the regenerative tourism destinations The Red Sea and AMAALA, and SEK Education Group have joined forces to launch two campuses in AMAALA and at Turtle Bay.
The two schools will provide world-class education for up to 726 students, with an initial intake of 120 children aged between four months and 14 years. This initiative falls in line with RSG’s commitment to cultivating self-sufficient communities while offering an enhanced quality of life for residents and their families. Additionally, it strengthens SEK Education Group’s presence in the Middle East.
The new schools align with goals of Vision 2030, which aims to drive social development and economic diversification through enhanced education. By giving priority enrollment to children of RSG employees and those who work at the destinations, the schools aim to create a multi-generational, dynamic and globally connected environment within the developer’s regenerative destinations.

“Providing a world-class education within our destinations is key to our vision of creating and fostering supportive and inclusive communities for those working at the destinations and their families. SEK’s approach to education, combined with their decades of expertise, will empower each student at our schools to thrive in a highly dynamic learning environment.”
The two co-educational schools will deliver the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) program, which is globally recognized for its academic rigor and holistic approach to learning. The schools will focus on personalized learning, competency-based education, and internationalization.
Cutting-edge facilities at the schools include bright and spacious classrooms, dedicated “maker” spaces for students to work on creative projects, technologically advanced science labs, a modern library with a vast collection of books and online resources, sports building, swimming pool, extracurricular activities and wellbeing clubs.
SEK Education Group was selected for its innovative education model, especially its ‘Future Learning Model” that integrates active methodologies, advanced technology, and flexible learning spaces to enhance students’ critical thinking, creativity and autonomy.
The two schools will feature highly experienced international and local teachers to ensure students receive the highest standard of education.
Nieves Segovia, President at SEK Education Group, added that, “It is an honor to join forces with Red Sea Global to provide a world-class and international education to pupils at the Red Sea Village schools. The new schools will be spaces of innovation, sustainability and well-being, which responds to the current challenges of educational transformation, and will foster global mindset among our students. With these two new schools, we strengthen our presence in Saudi Arabia, which began with the opening of our SEK Riyadh school in 2021 and allow us to contribute through our unique education model connected to the world, to the social development of the countries in which we are present.”
