About Window to the World

Driven by a deep belief in the power of education to transform lives, Nawaf has dedicated his career to opening doors for others. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Deaf Education from King Saud University, a Master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Newcastle, Australia, and an Education Certification from the University of Florida. As a passionate educator, he draws inspiration from Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to create a more inclusive and empowered future. His own journey—studying, living abroad, and being a proud father of three multilingual children who speak Arabic, English, and Spanish—has shown him how English can be a gateway to opportunity, cultural exchange, and personal growth. He lives by the belief that language connects people and shapes brighter futures. Now, with a heartfelt commitment to give back, Nawaf aims to contribute to the growth and global connection of the city of Madinah through Window to the World Institute, fostering language learning and cultural understanding.
