Home to prestigious institutions like Riyadh International School, British International School Riyadh, and others, young minds are primed to make their mark on the world.

Each year, top students here compete for a select few spots at elite US colleges.

However, navigating the maze of college applications can feel more challenging than finding the shortest route through Riyadh’s King Fahd Road at rush hour. But no need to worry, at IvySummit  we’ve been guiding students from Riyadh and around the world to reach their dream college destinations for over two decades.

Riyadh
