Al-Rawabi School is a national bilingual private school operating under the Ministry of Education in Bahrain and serving Bahraini and expat communities. Bahrain has always attracted new nationalities with varied cultural backgrounds, and our community has been growing increasingly diverse over the past decade.
The school was founded in 1997 with 25 students as a kindergarten. Today at the end of its 25th academic year, we are well spread over 2 state-of-the-art campuses, and can boast accreditation as a fully-fledged Cambridge / IBDP school.
The school provides high quality education at an affordable cost. We believe that the aim of education is promoting a balanced development of the mental, emotional, physical, social, moral and spiritual aspects of our students. This is achieved through the creation of a thinking class that promotes concept-based teaching and learning.
Along with assigning top priority to academic excellence, we maintain a balanced whole-child educational approach that develops the overall welfare and achievement of students.
In 2014, Al Rawabi has become an IB International school, and it acquired the trust of Cambridge, and Edexcel to be an approved Test Centre. In 2015, the school introduced UCMAS as a support subject, and became affiliated as a UNESCO school. In 2018, the school was accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSACS). In the 2019, AL RAWABI became a Pearson approved test Centre.
Designed to motivate and challenge all students, the academic program at Al-Rawabi School is driven by equity and the highest possible learning expectations for students. Our proficiency-based learning and assessment policies ensure that all students leave as highly literate and skilled graduates. The high school at Al-Rawabi offers a standard American high school diploma (equivalent the Bahrain Secondary Education Certificate) as well as the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (since 2014). In addition to the national subjects (Arabic, Social Studies, Religion & Citizenship), the school offers a range of core and elective subjects, all instructed in English (English, Math, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Economics, Business Studies, World History, Environmental Science and Computer Science). The average number of schooling days is 180 divided into 3 terms (trimester), during which students attend 5 days a week, 6 periods a day (1 period = 55 minutes). During their high school journey, students have access to a wide range of learning all of which are academically rigorous and intended to prepare students for success in college, career and citizenship.
