The school year comprises 3 terms extending from September 5 to December 13, from January 6 to March 21, and from March 31 to June 20. The School is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of 3 to 7 members who are selected and appointed by a committee made up of the founders of Quality Schools International and at least one other member of the Board of Directors of Quality Schools International. An Advisory Board of 6 to 10 persons living in Sanaa assists the School in its operation. The School operates with the approval of the Yemen government. Instruction, leading to individual mastery, takes advantage of small class sizes and the diverse educational backgrounds of the students.
Instruction is in English.
Arabic is taught as a foreign language and as a first language to Arabic-speaking children. French is also offered as a foreign language. The School is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. In September 1978, the School occupied a new building on a 34-acre site about 7 kilometers from the center of Sanaa. The site also includes a soccer field, a softball field, an outdoor basketball court, a double tennis court, and ample playground areas.
