In the following year Al-Hussan Modern Girls School, the first girls' school in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia was opened. Today there are nineteen schools and other educational institutes throughout the Eastern Province rated among the best in Saudi Arabia, with enrolment of over 7,500 students.

A year later Jubail International School (JIS) was established in Al Jubail, JIS also consists of separate boys and girls sections. In June 2006 Orbit International School was added to the group with separate boys and girls sections, finally in 2011 Al- Hussan International School - Riyadh opened its doors.
