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. Most of our students hail from households of modest means.
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 of a full-fledged Cambridge / IBDP school.
The school provides high quality education at an affordable cost, especially that the vast majority of its students derive from low-to-middle class families. We believe that the aim of education is promoting a balanced development of the mental, emotional, physical, social, moral and spiritual aspects of our children. This is achieved through creating a thinking class that promotes concept-based teaching and learning.
Along with assigning top priority to academic excellence, we maintain a balanced whole-child education 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.
