King Abdullah Academy (KAA; Arabic: أكاديمية الملك عبد الله[1]) is a Saudi Arabian international school located in Herndon, an unincorporated area in Fairfax County, Virginia in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.[2][3] In proximity to Herndon and Dulles International Airport,[4] it serves ages 5–18, grades preschool through 12.[3]
The academy opened in the fall of 2016. There were no hearings from the Fairfax County government required for the occupation of the campus because land which KAA occupied was already zoned for educational purposes. In 2015 Michael R. Frey, the Fairfax County Supervisor, stated that residents of the area around the school had not expressed opposition to its placement there.[4]
Students in kindergarten and elementary school (KG-5th Grade) are in co-gender classes while middle and high school students are non co gender. [5]
