Mawhiba Partnership

King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity

What is Mawhiba?

The King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity — known as Mawhiba — is a national foundation established under Royal Patronage with a mandate to identify, nurture, and celebrate gifted and talented individuals across Saudi Arabia. Mawhiba operates at the intersection of education, innovation, and national development, partnering with schools, universities, and institutions to build a culture in which exceptional talent is recognised and cultivated from an early age. Mawhiba’s school partnership programme enables selected institutions to access specialised programmes, resources, and expertise designed to enrich the educational experience of gifted students and to embed best practice in the identification and support of exceptional learners within the school environment.

Waad Academy’s Partnership

Waad Academy’s partnership with Mawhiba reflects a shared belief that every child deserves an education that meets them where they are — and that gifted learners, in particular, require environments that stretch, challenge, and inspire them in ways that go beyond the standard curriculum. Through this partnership, Waad Academy has formalised its commitment to identifying and nurturing gifted students, with access to enrichment programmes, specialised assessments, and pathways that connect exceptional learners to national and international opportunities in science, technology, mathematics, the arts, and beyond.
Identification

GIFTED LEARNER IDENTIFICATION

Using Mawhiba-endorsed tools and frameworks, Waad Academy identifies students who demonstrate exceptional aptitude, creativity, or potential across academic and non-academic domains.
Enrichment

SPECIALIST PROGRAMMES

Identified students access Mawhiba enrichment programmes, competitions, and development opportunities — both within the school and through Mawhiba’s national network of partners and institutions.
Development

FACULTY CAPACITY BUILDING

Waad Academy’s educators participate in professional development aligned with Mawhiba’s standards for gifted education, ensuring that teachers are equipped to support exceptional learners effectively.
Recognition

NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL PATHWAYS

Through its connection to Mawhiba, Waad Academy students gain access to national Olympiads, international competitions, scholarship pathways, and a community of gifted peers that extends well beyond the school gates.  

What It Means for Our Curriculum?

The Mawhiba partnership has enriched Waad Academy’s approach to differentiated learning — ensuring that the curriculum does not merely accommodate gifted students, but actively challenges and inspires them. Enrichment is built into the fabric of the school, not treated as an addition to it.

What It Means for Our Students?

For gifted and talented students at Waad Academy, the Mawhiba partnership opens doors to national and international opportunities that would otherwise be inaccessible. It is a recognition that their potential is real, valued, and worthy of the highest investment.
“Our partnership with Mawhiba is a commitment — to every exceptional student at Waad Academy — that their gifts will not go unnoticed, and that their potential will be met with the support it deserves.”
