The Al-Thager Model School (Arabic: مدارس الثغر النموذجية, roughly "The Haven") is a secondary school in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The school is housed in a two-story building that used to house both primary and secondary grades, as well as residential dormitories on the second level. Faisal of Saudi Arabia founded the school in Ta'if in the early 1950s. In 1964 Faisal opened a large campus for the school in Jeddah, and provided an annual fund of several million Saudi riyals from the national budget. Kamal Adham, Faisal's Turkish father-in-law, traveled to the United Kingdom to meet officials from the government, and told the officials to model the school after Victoria College, a school in Khartoum, Sudan, inspired by British education. The Saudi Arabian government provided funds and staff members for the school. Steve Coll, author of The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century, said that during the 1960s and 1970s Al-Thager "had the reputation of a private enclave for the sons of businessmen and the royal family". Al-Thager became the most prestigious school in Jeddah. More information...
