Al-Thager Model School

Al-Thager Model School

A secondary school in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the Al-Thager Model School is a two-story building that used to house both primary and secondary grades, as well as residential dormitories on the second level.

Initially founded in the 1950s with a grant from Faisal bin Abdul Aziz, Al-Thager was a secular school with a western-style uniform.

Former teachers, Brian Fyfield-Shayler and Seamus O’Brien gave an interview to the New Yorker in which they claimed that they remembered teaching Osama bin Laden at the school, from 1968–76. [http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/051212fa_fact]
