Abstract : The research aims to develop the design of current schools and find new standards that are more appropriate for the cognitive characteristics of primary school students in Saudi schools. The research also aims to make the school an environment that helps to raise the academic performance of students and improve mental health and behavior inside and outside the school. The research looks at the most important concepts extracted from the design of current schools, analyzes and highlights them, and then compares them with the cognitive characteristics of the targeted age group. The research relied on extracting the most prominent characteristics of cognitive development by reviewing previous research, in addition to extracting the most important psychological and behavioral influences. By referring to contemporary theories and standards in school design to extract new standards. The research analyzed the plans and virtual tours provided by the Tatweer Buildings Company website and extracted the main concepts that are provided in the design of the current schools, and then compared them with the characteristics of cognitive development in addition to linking them with the resulting psychological and behavioral influences. The most important findings of the research are first: the incompatibility of the current school design with the general cognitive characteristics of all age groups, which negatively affects the psychological effects of the child. In addition to the negative behavioral effects resulting from it. Second: The current school design is based on a unified design that is generalized to all school spaces and for all age groups without taking into account the differences in the characteristics of cognitive development and the cognitive characteristics of each age group, which leads to negative effects on their mental health, which also negatively affects the student’s behavior within the school. The research needs more field studies in the schools such as: (questionnaires, personal interviews, psychological and behavioral analyzes through observation, graphic analysis, and other methods). To develop the research, more specific psychological and cognitive studies should be conducted for the Arab child and the target age groups in the research, and there is a need for more studies related to physical factors in current schools such as (light, sound, air quality, thermal comfort). It is preferable to conduct more statistical survey on the psychological and behavioral level for the targeted age groups throughout the Kingdom
