History
Al Tawhid International School, also known as ATIS, is a private educational institution, located at Yanbu Al-bahr in Yanbu, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It got its preliminary license on May 23, 2004, issued by the Saudi Arabian Ministry Of Education with license n°: 198/S, after it complied with all the necessary requirements for opening an international school. The idea of opening an international school came into being due to the increasing demand for schools catering for expatriates' children mainly Filipinos. The owners of the ATIS, native residents and successful businessmen of Yanbu, the Saeedi Brothers, finally decided to operate and adopt the Philippine curriculum, and became the first and only school in Yanbu to do so.[1]
Al Tawhid had its final school year from 2013 to 2014.
