Al Fajer Private School

This, along with their exposure to French and other school activities and field trips, gives our students an experience unique among schools in Bahrain. Students learn to appreciate the Bahraini culture while becoming global citizens respecting the culture of others. I am excited for the start of the 2018-2019 school year. The administrative team spent the summer reviewing the past year's accomplishments and have made additions to the physical campus, curriculum, and programming which will provide our students an excellent opportunity to learn. We have added our own Spelling Bee and Reading competitions, will offer increased use of the library facilities for our students, will offer an after-school and during school hours book club to name a few of the 2018-2019 programs. After piloting an English language diagnostic assessment last year, we have fully adopted the Renaissance STAR 360 Reading, Early Literacy, and Math assessments for our English language offerings. We are the only school in Bahrain to offer this fully implemented assessment program to Bahraini students. These assessments not only show how our students compare to their US counterparts, but they also provide valuable guided assistance for our teachers to teach the skills our students need most to be successful. Additionally, you, as parents, will receive student progress reports generated from these assessments throughout the year so that you can become more informed about your child's progress. Efforts to improve students' Arabic language experience are also a focus this year as well. I am proud to be a part of a school dedicated to helping students grow academically and personally to meet the challenges of today's society. A school with a surging enrollment, Al Fajer's on-going commitment to excellence is evidenced by its annual self-assessment, improvements to campus facilities, on-going teacher training, and curriculum enhancements designed to meet the ever-changing landscape of today. Student success and their development as positive ...
