Introduction

A Learning Platform Built for the IB Pathway

Riyadh has become one of the fastest-growing hubs for International Baccalaureate education in Saudi Arabia, with a growing number of IB curriculum schools in Riyadh now teaching everything from the Primary Years Programme through to the Diploma Programme.

StudyHours works exclusively with IB online tutors who understand the PYP's inquiry cycle, the MYP's concept-based units, and the DP's Higher Level and Standard Level demands.

Our tutors don't just help with homework. They build genuine subject mastery matched to each student's exact IB programme, assessment criteria and command terms, delivered entirely through live one-to-one online classes.

What Is the IB Curriculum?

Three Stages, One Continuum

The IB curriculum is an internationally recognised framework built around transdisciplinary and conceptual learning, spanning early primary school through to the final two years before university.

Ages 3–12

Primary Years Programme (PYP)

Inquiry-based learning across six transdisciplinary themes, building confident reading, writing and number sense alongside genuine research and reflection skills.

Ages 11–16

Middle Years Programme (MYP)

Eight subject groups taught through the IB MYP curriculum's key and related concepts, assessed against detailed criteria, building toward the Year 5 Personal Project.

Ages 16–19

Diploma Programme (DP)

Six subjects plus TOK, the Extended Essay and CAS, scored out of 45 β€” the final, most demanding stage of the IB pathway.

Because Higher Level subjects carry more depth and independent-study demands, consistent, personalised online support from the start of the DP can make a measurable difference to a student's final results and university applications.

PYP Support

Building the Foundations Inquiry Learning Demands

Ages 3 to 12 focus on building literacy, numeracy and the inquiry and research skills the PYP is built around.

Our tutors use interactive digital tools and structured, concept-led questioning to build confident independent thinkers early, during every virtual classroom session.

  • βœ“ Live, one-to-one online sessions matched to the PYP framework
  • βœ“ Early exposure to the IB's inquiry cycle and reflection habits
  • βœ“ Strong study habits ahead of MYP subject choices

Ages 3–12 Β· Inquiry

Reflection Check-in

Short, structured online sessions that build inquiry and reflection skills one theme at a time.

MYP Β· Personal Project

Building Toward the DP

Rubric literacy built now pays off through every DP subject and IA that follows.

MYP Support

Where the Rubric Matters

The IB MYP curriculum is where concept-based learning deepens and assessment criteria matter most.

Our tutors provide dedicated one-to-one online classes matched to your school's exact MYP criteria, not a generic approximation of the subject.

  • βœ“ Strengthen weak areas through personalised online learning plans
  • βœ“ Guidance through the Year 5 Personal Project, start to finish
  • βœ“ Build the subject-choice clarity the DP will demand
DP Support Β· HL & SL

Where University Applications Begin

The Diploma Programme is the most demanding stage of the IB pathway, with a score out of 45 that carries real weight for university applications.

Every DP subject is studied at Higher Level or Standard Level. HL courses go deeper and require more independent study, while SL courses cover a narrower syllabus in less depth.

  • βœ“ Personalised online learning plan aligned to HL or SL demands
  • βœ“ Rubric-led IA, TOK and Extended Essay coaching
  • βœ“ A dedicated online subject tutor across every DP group

Ages 16–19 Β· Diploma Score Tracker

Predicted Score Progress

Every predicted score counts toward university applications. Consistent support across the two-year DP makes a measurable difference.

IB Β· Exam Session

Mock Under Timed Conditions

Past papers marked against real IB rubrics, practised under genuine exam timing.

IB Exam Session Preparation

Ready for May and November

IB exam preparation in Riyadh looks different from most other curricula, because so much of the final grade is locked in long before the exam session.

Internal Assessments, the Extended Essay, TOK and CAS reflections all carry weight, so our tutors build a structured revision timeline around the specific session your school has entered your child for.

  • βœ“ Past-paper practice marked against real IB rubrics and command terms
  • βœ“ Internal Assessment and Extended Essay planning, drafting and review
  • βœ“ Timed mock exams that build genuine exam-day stamina
