The Pakistan International School, Al-Khobar, more popularly known by its former name as the Saudi Arabian International School due to its huge Pakistani student body and teaching staff, is a school serving the Pakistani community of Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia residing in the cities of Khobar, Dammam, Dhahran, Thuqbah, Ras Tanura, Abqaiq and Jubail. The study curriculum of the school is based on that of Pakistani education standards.The School consists of a Boys and a Girls section. As of 2014, the student population consists of over 3000 children ranging from ages 5 to 20. It is a K-12 educational institution with a certified curriculum that has been gradually upgraded over the years. The school operates in two separate shifts of 0715–1235 hours and 1515–1945 hours. The school was founded as a small room school in 1966 by Abbas Hussain Malik.HistoryWith the oil boom in the Sixties, Saudi Arabia was becoming a nucleus of trade and commercial activity. Pakistani engineers, doctors and professionals from all walks of life were pouring in. But, in the absence of any Pakistani educational institution, they could not keep their families in Khobar. There was a pressing need for a school. At that juncture, Mr. Abbas Hussain Malik founded the Pakistan Community High School (PCHS).The school has 2 campuses and 52 teachers as of 2014. Of the teachers still present in the school, many have taught for well over 20 years. Most experienced teachers include Dr.Sarfraz Hussain, Riaz Virk, Javed Iqbal, Rizvi, Mansoor Jahan and Iftikhar Ahmed.
