The opening as it read in 2020

King Abdullah Academy ( KAA ; ) is a Saudi Arabian international school located in Floris , an unincorporated area in Fairfax County, Virginia in the Washington, DC metropolitan area . In proximity to Herndon and Dulles International Airport , it serves ages 4–18, grades preschool through 12. 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. Frey , the Fairfax County Supervisor, stated that residents of the area around the school had not expressed opposition to its placement there. Students in pre-school and elementary school (KG-5th Grade) are in co-gender classes while middle and high school students are separated by sex, although some specialized high school classes may be co-gender.
