Prospective parents, Bahraini and expatriate, tour the school, and after visiting a few of the classrooms, immediately feel that BSB is where they want their children to be. Busy, active, smiling faces abound, as teachers encourage each student to be the best they can possibly be, and embrace their individual strengths. Over fifty per cent Bahraini, the student body comprises more than 70 nationalities, and everyone works and plays together so well that no-one notices national boundaries.
The school is spurred on by its ‘outstanding’ status in the last National Authority for Qualifications and Quality Assurance of Education and Training (QQA) inspection, and a child-centred ethos, therefore making teachers our most important asset.
Through the visionary ownership of the Inspired Education Group, a leading global premium schools group operating on five continents and educating over 31,000 students, and a supportive Board of Trustees, the aim is to continuously develop BSB. This is done through embracing technological advances, the latest educational research, diverse and effective teaching and learning strategies, empowerment of students through structured learning, active student voices, and the best possible British international curriculum delivered by appropriately qualified and experienced professionals. Education at BSB is not just about memorising facts and getting high scores in tests, it is about developing well-rounded future global citizens of tomorrow.
Student development is encouraged and nurtured, while carefully monitoring individual progress and setting achievable and challenging learning goals.
From their earliest years, children learn to assess their own progress, helped by teachers and peers, so that each student has a say in setting and prioritising their learning targets, truly taking ownership of their education to prepare them to be independent citizens of the adult world.
