Dear Downe House Riyadh School Administration,

We hope this letter finds you well. We are writing to express a concern and request regarding the school calendar. As parents of students attending your esteemed institution, we appreciate the emphasis placed on cultural diversity and respect for various traditions.

In light of this, we kindly request that Downe House school consider aligning its academic calendar with the official calendar provided by the Saudi Ministry of Education. This adjustment would help ensure that school holidays coincide with significant events in the local community, fostering a stronger sense of inclusivity, and aligning with their siblings in other schools.

We understand the importance of holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving in Western cultures. However, aligning the school calendar with the Saudi calendar would allow families in our community to better plan and celebrate important occasions together.

We believe this adjustment would not only demonstrate the school's commitment to cultural sensitivity but also contribute to a more harmonious and inclusive educational environment for all students.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to a positive response and further discussion on how we can work together to create an even more enriching experience for the students at Downe House school.

Sincerely,

Downe House Riyadh parents
