Britus International School

At BISB we have a team of passionate and well qualified teachers and support staff who share a clear vision that builds on the Britus mission and our belief of learning without limits. We want all our students to achieve the very best possible academic outcomes but also to grow as valuable members of our learning community, supporting each other to succeed and developing as the next generation of leaders here in Bahrain.

Starting in our pre-school department, we offer an American curriculum, built around California Common Core Standards (CCCS), that builds strong foundations in social skills and learning habits. Working through a High Scope learning approach, our nursery and KG department seek to offer students a range of learning experiences that will meet the individual needs of each and every learner through guided play and discovery learning.

Building on this our elementary and middle school programs seek to develop competence in English, maths, science and Arabic and promote the importance of understanding Bahrain and its rich culture and history. As students move through to high school, they are able to opt for one of 3 learning pathways to meet their individual needs.

In addition to our American curriculum, we offer students in Grade 9 and above the opportunity to study for the International Baccalaureate or take a range of international GCSE qualifications. This flexibility ensures that students from over 40 nations within the school can tailor learning to achieve their goals in attending university here in Bahrain, in the United States, the United Kingdom and beyond.

We pride ourselves on knowing our students well and maintaining positive communication with all our stakeholders. We welcome our parents and former alumni to share their suggestions on how, by working together, we can reach our goal of being an outstanding school in the near future.

Since November 2019 Britus International School – Bahrain (formerly known as AMA International School) has been managed by Britus Education. The school operates from a well-equipped campus offering students the very best learning experience. The school is currently going through a significant transformation and parents and students are fully engaged in the changes and developments.

Britus International School – Bahrain is proud to have its roots in Bahrain society, with a long-term commitment to the country and a recognition that education is at the heart of a thriving and sustainable modern economy. BISB is a school embedded in the local community but with an international outlook. We recognize the importance of preparing global citizens and provide learners with an education that is meaningful and relevant to their personal, academic, social and work-life aspirations.

BISB provides learners with an active learning experience that embraces 21st century skills, recognizing that these skills are essential in a modern knowledge economy. We aim to support Bahrain and the wider region by nurturing the next generation of scientists and scholars, raising aspirations amongst the local community to make a significant contribution to the future of Bahrain.

At its heart, Britus International School – Bahrain (BISB) is committed to ensuring its students have access to the very highest quality learning experience. It is becoming widely recognized that there has to be a shift in learning styles if students are to achieve their potential and be able to function effectively in a modern, knowledge economy. Britus International School provides a context where young Bahraini and expatriate students, from their first day in school, will be given the opportunity to develop an understanding that they can always improve with a resilience to rise to the challenge of continuous improvement.

Our vision is to make Britus International School the leading affordable school in Bahrain. It will be a school that has an inclusive admissions policy which gives national and expatriate students access to a unique, culturally relevant curriculum. Our curriculum is designed to develop competent individuals with love for learning at its core enhanced by an enriching extra-curricular programme which provides opportunity for every child to succeed – Our Ready To Learn Programme.
