Kindergarten (KG1–KG3)
From age 2 years 9 months, our youngest learners play, sing and explore their way into English and Arabic — building confidence, routine and a love of school.
Our curriculum · KG1 – Grade 6
Two languages, one joyful journey
A dual American + Bahrain Ministry of Education programme where children build strong English and Arabic together — with early French and learning that reaches beyond the classroom.
The programme
The bilingual American + MoE programme
We weave together the best of an American curriculum and the Bahrain Ministry of Education framework — so children meet international standards while staying deeply rooted in their culture.
Grades 1–3
Children become readers and writers in both languages, growing in maths, science and discovery — with character and curiosity at the centre of every day.
Grades 4–6 Grade 6 new
Pupils take on greater independence and deeper thinking — and with our new Grade 6, they now complete the full primary journey with us, ready for secondary school.

A strong focus on character. Alongside academics, we nurture morals, discipline and good habits — because how children learn to treat one another matters just as much as what they know.
Languages
English, Arabic & French
Young children are natural linguists. We make the most of that window — gently, joyfully, every day.
English
A rich English-language foundation in reading, writing, speaking and listening, opening doors to learning across every subject.
Arabic
Arabic taught with pride and depth — connecting children to their language, heritage and the culture of the Kingdom of Bahrain.
French
Early exposure to French adds a playful third language, broadening horizons and building confidence with new sounds and words.
Assessments
Renaissance STAR 360
We use the trusted Renaissance STAR 360 assessments in Early Literacy, Reading and Maths. They give a clear, gentle picture of each child's progress — and because they're benchmarked against pupils across the United States, you can see your child's growth in an internationally recognised context.
- Short, age-appropriate and low-pressure for children
- Three checkpoints a year to track growth over time
- Clear progress reports shared with every family
- Helps teachers tailor support to each child's needs
