Introduction to the British School of Bahrain

BSB was established in Adliya in 1995 to serve the British community in Bahrain. The school has grown considerably in the past few years, rapidly changing and evolving into the renowned international school that can be experienced today. BSB is also a proud member of Inspired, a leading global premium schools group operating in Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.

Our school is a friendly, vibrant and welcoming community in which all are respectful and respected and is home to a myriad of nationalities from across the globe.

The Mission and Character of the BSB

We are a truly international school delivering a British curriculum with some slight adaptations to reflect the local context. Our students come from a wide array of national, ethnic and cultural backgrounds and we value and celebrate the rich diversity of them all.

We respect all members of our community as individuals and offer them equal opportunities to develop to their full potential. It is also important to us that our students have respect for people of all cultures and that they leave us confident and prepared to take their place in the world as ethical and environmentally responsible global citizens and leaders.

We provide a safe, inclusive and caring environment in which young people can learn to live and work together in a spirit of harmony and mutual respect. We are achievement-focussed and our mission is to provide all our students with a high quality education and skills that will equip them to thrive in their future live, wherever that may be.

We are an inclusive community of self-motivated and reflective learners with high expectations and standards. We encourage a lifelong love of enquiry and learning motivating each child and adult within our community to reach their personal best, both academically and in all aspects of their lives,

We provide our students with close academic monitoring and supportive pastoral care. We take a whole-child approach, with a focus on balance and a healthy lifestyle, and we encourage the constructive and positive contribution and support of parents.

We are grounded in traditional values but also have a progressive, forward-looking vision. The educational experience of students at the BSB must prepare them to have access to the best of international education and to succeed in a workplace that values skills like critical thinking; collaboration; digital literacy and interactive communication.

We recognise the increasing importance of digital technology and we continue to prepare our students for the rapidly changing world in which they will live and work.
