The British School of Bahrain was established in Adliya in 1995 to provide a British education within Bahrain. We were founded as a school with a family feel that supported individual students through outstanding pastoral care. Over the last 25 years, some elements, including our location, have changed, but our philosophy to treat every child as an individual and make them feel part of our family is still at our core. The British School of Bahrain benefits considerably from being a proud member of Inspired, a leading global schools group operating on five continents with over 110 schools worldwide. By being a member of Inspired, the British School of Bahrain is able to access partnerships and programmes which individual schools cannot access

While BSB follows a British National Curriculum model, it is a truly international school that derives its identity from both the wonderful country of Bahrain and the large extensive range of nationalities (90) that make up our School. The School prides itself on its close relationship with its parents, and we work collaboratively to create a nurturing environment that allows every student to fulfil their potential.
