The International Indian School, Jeddah is a secondary school for boys and girls in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia It was founded in 1969. The school slogan is "Knowledge is Light". The school is colloquially abbreviated to "IISJ". The school has been reputed to be the second largest school in Asia.
It started as a small school in Jeddah. It was encouraged by expatriates and prominent people of the Indian community(only Indians) residing in Jeddah. Rafiuddin S. Fazulbhoy founded the school in 1969. Late Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi laid the foundation of then "Embassy of India School, Jeddah".
Gradually, every Indian in Jeddah started to learn in this school and they now have nearly 18000 students.

The school has a big auditorium which is centrally air-conditioned and well-equipped with latest light and sound facilities.
