The Bahrain School

The Bahrain School is a United States Department of Defense school located in Juffair, Manama, Bahrain. Founded in 1967, the school is operated by the Bahrain International School Association (BISA) with the United States Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) and takes students from Kindergarten to Twelfth grade. All Bahrain School students earn a US accredited American Diploma upon graduation. Bahrain School prepares high school students for college and career opportunities with an academic program that includes Advanced Placement courses, Extracurricular Activities, Athletic and Arts Programs, and various travel opportunities. Bahrain School is also the first to offer the AP Capstone Diploma Program in Bahrain. We are one of approximately 2,500 schools worldwide to implement the AP Capstone Diploma program―an innovative program that encourages students to develop skills for college and career success, including critical thinking, research, collaboration, and communication. Advanced Placement (AP) courses give students the chance to tackle college-level work while they’re still in high school— whether they’re learning online or in the classroom. And through taking AP Exams, students can earn college credit and placement. The Bahrain School is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools to offer an American diploma. The College Board authorizes Bahrain School to offer Advanced Placement courses: Calculus AB, Microeconomics, Chemistry, Physics, and Spanish.
