E.M.E.P. / Our Legacy
Westminster International School is powered by El Maaly for Educational Projects – E.M.E.P., an educational organization built on deep family legacy, proven school leadership, and a growing network of respected institutions across Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
When families choose Westminster, they are not only choosing a new international school in Riyadh. They are choosing a school supported by one of the region’s experienced educational families and organizations – combining heritage, governance, academic systems, operational discipline, and a clear commitment to shaping future-ready learners.
Although El Maaly for Educational Projects – E.M.E.P. was officially established in 2011, its foundation is built on a much deeper educational story.
For more than six decades, the El Hamamy family has contributed to shaping education across generations. Today, the third generation continues this legacy through E.M.E.P., developing, managing, and operating leading educational institutions across Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
This legacy brings together two powerful strengths: the trust of long-standing educational experience and the ambition of modern international schooling. At Westminster, families benefit from a school supported by heritage, guided by governance, and designed for the future.
E.M.E.P. is an educational holding company that develops, owns, operates, and manages international educational institutions across the MENA region. Its work brings together educational strategy, governance, academic quality assurance, digital transformation, human capital development, operational systems, and institutional excellence.
