Ria Institute Bahrain

RIA Caters to the needs of mainstream learners as well as students with Special Educational Needs offering a year round educational and 'mini' respite service. With the mission statement of 'Education for All' and promoting awareness of living in the community with particular regard to persons with physical and/or intellectual disabilities.

RIA was created in 1999 to cater to the needs of students with Autism, who might otherwise slip through the cracks in the school system. It was founded by Dr. Emad Al Attar and his wife Christine Gordon. Seeing the way that their autistic son was needlessly ostracized at pre-school because of his lack of communication skills, they set out to create a place where all children could feel safe and loved whilst gaining, a first class education.

RIA teaches in both English and Arabic. Our dedicated staff are at the heart of RIA and Kids Castle Nursery. The nursery curriculum is based on the UK EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage). We are a 'melting pot' of nationalities, languages, and cultures and together we work to make every day a special experience for the students and their families.

At RIA we strive to create a positive, nurturing and safe environment where students are able to develop their skills to the best of their abilities.

RIA's has professional teaching and support staff to deliver an educational experience for our students that enables them to grow and flourish. We partner with parents to provide an accessible, flexible program that helps each child to build on and develop new knowledge and skills, recognising that each student has a unique approach to learning. In so doing, our aim is to prepare your child to contribute fully in your community, regardless of their abilities.
