Misk Schools this week celebrated the graduation of its Class of 2026 – only the second cohort to complete the Misk Schools Diploma – under the theme Lead and Inspire.

Both the boys’ and girls’ ceremonies were marked by tremendous pride and emotion, bringing together distinguished guests, including members of the Misk Schools Board, students’ families, and Misk Schools leaders and teachers.

Over the course of their academic journey, this graduating class has built an exceptional record of achievement. To date, students have received more than 100 university offers, with additional offers still expected. Almost 14% of those offers are from universities ranked among the world’s top ten, including MIT, Stanford, Imperial College London, UC Berkeley, Columbia University and UCL. Over 40% of offers received are from top-30 global universities, representing nearly 70% of applicants. At home in Saudi Arabia, seven students are holding offers from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM).

Beyond academic success, the Class of 2026 has earned recognition on international platforms across science, innovation, entrepreneurship and diplomacy.

At the Lenabtaker Entrepreneurship and Innovation Competition in Jordan, an all-girl Grade 12 team won second place in the Health category for their BloodLink blood bank initiative. Another student received a Vice Chair Award at the World International Model United Nations in New York, while a team was placed third in the Future Innovators senior category at the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) National Finals.

At the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions, students were awarded silver medals, the Grand Prize for General Education, the Grand Prize in the 15–18 category, and a gold medal with distinction for an AI-driven project focused on predictive modelling and therapeutic optimisation for respiratory diseases. For the second consecutive year, two students were selected to represent Saudi Arabia at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the United States. And, in the final stage of Mawhiba’s Ibdaa 2026, students won four grand prizes alongside Special Awards in Biomedical Engineering from ExxonMobil, and Interdisciplinary Engineering from Ricoh.

These accomplishments reflect the ambition, talent and determination of the Class of 2026, as well as the strength of the educational model at Misk Schools which is designed specifically to nurture the next generation of Saudi leaders.
