British School of Bahrain

The BSB provides an excellent educational programme for children who fall within the mainstream spectrum. Within this spectrum, we recognise that every child has his or her own particular learning profile and range of talents and abilities and we endeavour to meet a wide range of individual learning needs in the delivery of our curriculum through a variety of differentiation strategies. We require a good level of English proficiency for admission to the BSB and we do not currently provide any programmes to teach students for whom English is an additional language who are at an early stage of acquiring English. It is our intention to develop our facilities and capacity to support students with special learning needs in the future but, at our present stage of development, we have only limited resources to cater for students whose learning needs require significant support and, for this reason, we not admit students with specific learning needs that fall outside the mainstream spectrum. It is not in the best interests of anyone, and least of all of the student involved, if he or she is not able to benefit from the educational programme we offer and to thrive within the academically high achieving environment at the BSB.
