How the week worksWhere a Riyadh Lesson Sits in the Week
The school week here runs Sunday to Thursday, so Thursday evening is the last school night and Sunday starts it again. Lessons are placed around that, not around a UK timetable.
Evenings, not afternoons
Most slots sit between 4pm and 9pm Arabia Standard Time. That leaves the school day alone and keeps homework off the midnight pile.
Friday and Saturday
The weekend falls on Friday and Saturday. A morning lesson on either day suits students who work better before the afternoon goes.
Shorter Ramadan days
School days compress during Ramadan. We move slots earlier in the evening for that month instead of cancelling the run and losing the habit.
