Our Story
“Every institution has a beginning, but the strongest institutions begin with a purpose”
The story of Sanabel Al Noor International Schools Co. traces back to 1996, when Mrs. Saleela Selvaraj moved from India to Najran, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, after her marriage. During her time in the local community, she recognized that many expatriate families were seeking quality education for their children, while opportunities for structured learning were limited.
Driven by her passion for teaching, Mrs. Saleela Selvaraj began providing home-based instruction to a single student. What started as a humble educational initiative gradually grew through the trust and confidence of parents, who valued her dedication, discipline, and genuine care for every child entrusted to her.
With the unwavering support of Mr. Nessayyan Selvaraj, together with the continued encouragement and cooperation of Mr. Saleh Ali Al Sinan, the vision of establishing a recognized educational institution became a reality, leading to the official establishment of Sanabel Al Noor International Schools Co. in 2012.
Today, the school continues to build upon the vision of its founders and supporters, embracing innovation while remaining firmly rooted in the principles that shaped its journey—integrity, dedication, respect, and a belief that quality education has the power to transform lives.
