International Indian School, Dammam

International Indian School Dammam or IISD (formerly Indian Embassy School Dammam) is an English-medium K-12 Indian school in Saudi Arabia led by Mrs Mehanaz Fareed(1st lady Principal in school history), and the largest school in the MENA region by number of students. Most of its 18000+ students come from in and around Ad-Dammam and Al-Khobar. It was established in 1982 with 250 students and 15 teachers in a few portacabins and inaugurated by the then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. In 2006, it was divided into two separate buildings, one for boys and the other for girls. Now, there are only 10000+ students left as many moved to India.
