Campus
In the 1960s the school campus was located near downtown Jeddah, with the campus north of Old Jeddah Road. A two story concrete and fieldstone building served as the school's main classroom building. Steve Coll, author of The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century, said that the building was in a "featureless modern style." The school had two classroom wings, one for middle school students and one for high school students. An interior courtyard was located between the wings.
In the 1960s most students were day students and commuted to school. The boarding students and some foreign teachers lived in dormitories on the school's second floor.
In the 1960s Al-Thager was the only school in Jeddah to have air conditioning.
