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.

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. The British School of Bahrain’s credo is to place the student at the centre of their own education, as expressed in the school’s vision: Excellence, Responsibility, Individuality.
