We are the only school in the Kingdom of Bahrain delivering Philippine Department of Education-approved K-12 education to the Filipino children of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in the Kingdom. We hold the record of being the first Philippine school overseas that was granted accreditation by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU). We rank better than many prestigious schools in Bahrain and elsewhere around the world in local, regional and international examinations and competitions like the TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) and the World’s Scholars Cup.
Established in 1994, our school boasts of educational facilities that are purpose-built in a 26,000 square-meter campus — more than enough to accommodate our current student population of 1,000 Filipino students.
We are committed to educate and enrich our students’ knowledge, develop their understanding and appreciation of their rich cultural heritage while growing in a foreign land, and enhance their socio-emotional skills to help them cope with life’s day-to-day challenges.
It has been an exciting 26 years of educational excellence and we look forward to many more years of service for the children of our OFWs in the beautiful island of Bahrain.
Since our K to 12 curriculum is based on the Philippine Education System and is approved by the Philippine Department of Education, new students from DepEd-curriculum schools can transfer anytime to Philippine School (Bahrain) upon presentation of valid required documents and payment of the prescribed fees, provided there are seats available .
New students from non-DepEd curriculum schools can join Philippine School (Bahrain) at the beginning of each school year only. To be accepted, they are required to undergo interview and written assessments to confirm their suitability and proper grade placement, in addition to fulfilling the regular admission requirements.
Philippine School (Bahrain), through its Office of Student Affairs, provides learners with opportunities so they can be at their best in dealing with student life. It facilitates learning and development by promoting student empowerment, fostering student leadership and responsible citizenship through student development programs, and creating a conducive environment that can make school life more effective and enjoyable.
The learners’ needs are diverse, but the Office of Student Affairs has the professional capabilities to assist young minds grow in multi-dimensional aspects. It is composed of several functional units that work in close coordination with each other and other school departments to provide essential student services such as admission, guidance and counseling, membership in school organizations, access to library and media resources, and health and wellness. They support the school curriculum in ensuring the safety, good physical and mental health, social-emotional wellness, and positive character formation of students.

Why is Philippine School Bahrain receiving payments from students without issuing an official receipt? My daughter in Grade 11and Grade 8 paid the next school year registration fee which is 30BD each and Advance book payment of 40BD each. No receipt was issued to them. First, they accepted the money but return back the registration form because they said it lacks signature. NO TEMPORARY RECEIPT WAS ISSUED BY MS. JOAN. The second day, my daughter went back to the registrar, MS JOAN said the printer is defective. Now, on the third day other registrar said MS JOAN is absent, so she cannot issue the receipt. This is not an acceptable practice and I demand an explanation. This is not just money but this is a GROSS IRREGULARITY. How can the school receive money from students without issuing an official receipt? Is this legal?
