SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY

The Bahrain Bayan School (BBS) was established in 1982 by Dr. May Al Otaibi and Mrs. Kathleen Acher Kaiksow. The BBS is an independent, national, non-profit, coeducational, bilingual school in Arabic and English, catering to students from KG to Grade 12. It is accredited and licensed by the Bahrain Ministry of Education, under the Bahrain Government law, in addition to an accreditation by The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA). The school is classified as an 'Outstanding' school based on evaluation by the Bahrain Education & Training Quality Authority (BQA).

The school community consists of dedicated parents who represent the highest levels of government, business, and industry in the Kingdom. We have a strong home-school partnership. The parents' active participation in the cooperative education of Bayan School children is an essential component in the success and achievement of our students.
