Al Iman School has instruction in Arabic, English.
The Al Iman School is located in Isa Town, Bahrain. The campus is Building 200, Road 4112, Complex 841, in the Isa Town Education Zone. The area is served by Bahrain's public transit network and is near the University of Bahrain/Isa Town area, making it accessible by bus routes 15 and 19. The school's address and area designation identify it clearly as part of Isa Town. [Locations: Building 200, Road 4112, Complex 841; Isa Town Education Zone; Isa Town, Bahrain. Bus access and nearby landmarks are described in transit listings.]
The school operates three main levels: Elementary/Primary (Ibtida'iya), Preparatory (Adadiya, the middle years), and Secondary. These levels are shown in the school's fee schedules where the categories are labeled الابتدائية (Primary), الإعدادية (Preparatory), and الثانوية (Secondary). The English-language pages likewise reflect these three levels.
The school type is gender-segregated with separate sections for boys and girls. There is a Boys Section and a Girls Section on the same institution (separate campuses/pages). There is no co-educational single-campus listing on the Bahraini site; both sections are clearly presented as distinct parts of the same school family.
No specific individual SEN (Additional Learning Needs) provisions are published on the Bahraini site. The admission process includes an entrance exam and a family interview, with evaluation of prior records for new and transferring students, indicating a merit-based screening process rather than publicly described SEN support.
The school is in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Its Bahraini address places it in Isa Town, Bahrain. The site also shows country context through the Bahrain-based campus information and local contact details.
The school is Islamic in orientation, with curriculum components including Islamic Studies as part of the Saudi curriculum framework used by the school. This Islamic emphasis is reflected in the Education System description cited by third-party listings and the school's Arabic materials.
The school calendar includes term dates, exams, and staff/student events for each academic year. The 2023–2024 calendar shows the sequence of assessments, holidays, and orientation activities, and notes that the start of the second term includes a general day schedule for teachers and students, with a separate orientation for the first grade in some cases. The exact daily start/end times are not published in the calendar pages.
The school is accessible by public bus routes 15 and 19. Nearest bus stops include Esteglal Highway/Isa Town and University of Bahrain/Isa Town, with 11–17 minute walking distances from some stops. The first bus on route 19 starts around 5:02 AM, and the last bus on route 19 runs until about 11:47 PM.
Annual tuition at Al Iman School ranges from BHD 1,959 to BHD 2,619 for 2026/27.
Al Iman School teaches British Curriculum for students aged 6 to 18.
Al-Iman School, Girls Section in Bahrain, offers a curriculum that prioritizes Arabic language and Islamic studies, with Quran memorization beginning in Grade 1 and Islamic studies based on the Saudi Ministry of Education curriculum. English instruction follows a British-system framework, and science is taught in English at upper primary and secondary levels (with some science taught in Arabic in earlier grades). In the primary phase, computer studies cover Windows Office, Robotics, and Scratch; in the middle phase, students study Windows Movie Maker, Padlet, Google Tools, Access, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver; in the high school phase they pursue SketchUp 3D (levels 1-2), Visual Basic, app programming, and Illustrator. For language and literature, the primary uses Incredible English, Oxford Discover, Imagine Readers and Oxford Read; the middle uses Gateway to Success; the high school uses Gateway to Success plus Cambridge O/A Level English, Cambridge IGCSE ESL, and Cambridge International AS/A Level English Literature. The curriculum is complemented by a strong STEAM program and ongoing projects, including UNIDO initiatives.
Al-Iman School operates a formal Student Council with named roles (e.g., president, vice president, secretary) across the secondary and primary levels, indicating structured student governance. The English-language section shows a dedicated 'Student affairs' area that includes a 'Student Council' and an academic calendar to organize student life. The curriculum emphasizes leadership development and encourages voluntary work to foster civic responsibility and a sense of belonging. STEAM projects and other student-led activities are highlighted as part of student life, illustrating opportunities for teamwork and problem-solving. The program supports social and cultural development through a bilingual curriculum that focuses on Arabic language, Quran memorization, and English language proficiency as part of the overall educational experience.
The publicly accessible pages describe the general curriculum and language focus but do not specify any Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision, staff, or facilities. There is no explicit reference to a SEN department, accommodations, or inclusive practices in the available Student Life or Curriculum sections. The materials indicate a British-style English program and standard content rather than SEN-specific supports. English-language resources and ESL content are mentioned (e.g., English as a Second Language in Cambridge IGCSE materials), but these do not constitute explicit SEN provisions. The school does not publicly disclose information regarding SEN services on the pages provided.
English is taught as a core subject within the Birtish-system curricula used by the girls' section. The curriculum includes English materials and instruction for Arabic-speaking students, and English as a Second Language is listed among Cambridge IGCSE resources for the upper levels. In the primary years, English-language content appears in technology- and science-related areas (e.g., Windows Office, Robotics, Scratch) as part of overall curriculum delivery. The curriculum indicates ongoing English-language development as part of the program, with explicit ESL resources referenced for Cambridge IGCSE at higher grades. The available pages do not describe a separate, formal EAL department beyond these ESL language materials.
No dedicated mental wellbeing program or school counseling service is described in the publicly accessible curriculum and student-life content. The school promotes leadership and volunteering as avenues for social connection and personal development, which can support student resilience and belonging. Student governance (the Student Council) and ongoing student activities contribute to social engagement and peer networks. Public materials do not list a mental health staff, counseling services, or formal wellbeing initiatives. The available information on wellbeing is therefore not described as a standalone program.
Public pages describe safety-related arrangements for pupils during travel, including a contract with a transport company to safeguard students while commuting to and from school. There is no explicit safeguarding policy or child-protection framework detailed on the accessible pages. The school provides contact details and the campus address for communications and inquiries. To obtain formal safeguarding information, check the admissions policies or external accreditation documents, as these pages do not include a dedicated safeguarding clause.
1. Admissions Process. New entrants into first grade begin admissions on the first day of the second term each year. To be eligible for first grade, a child must be six years old on the first day of the study period, as shown on the official birth certificate; the principal may admit a child younger than six by up to ninety days. To initiate the process, the parent should visit the school's admissions office to obtain the registration application and its instructions. The applicant must bring the required documents: the student's population (ID) card, a copy of the passport, the birth certificate or a copy, a completed immunization certificate from a recognized hospital or clinic, two recent student photos (4x6 cm), and a green file containing the supporting documents; the registration form (Annex 1) should be completed and the documents attached.
2. Admissions Process (Transfers). For students transferring from other schools, registration begins in March each year under these conditions: the student must have succeeded in the final grade of the previous level and must have at least a good grade in every subject; the student must also demonstrate good conduct. The student must pass the school entrance test in Arabic, English, and Mathematics with at least 70% in every tested subject. If accepted, the parent must bring the student's school file containing all official documents and previous grades. The school informs the parent by phone whether the student is accepted or not; if accepted, the parent must proceed to settle the registration fee and remaining annual fees according to the payment plan.
3. Admissions Process (Continuation and Conduct). A student who fails the second-round entrance test is not permitted to continue at the school for the new year. The school may decline a student if the Board determines ineligibility. If a student is lax about memorizing the required portion of the Quran, the school may withdraw them at the end of the year. If a student cheats on monthly or term tests, warnings are issued and, on the third offense, expulsion is applied at year-end; the school follows the formal procedures outlined by the student affairs process.
4. Admissions Process (Registration Steps). To register a transferred student, the parent completes the student registration form with the Student Affairs unit and attaches the required documents. If the admission conditions are satisfied, the student is referred to the Admissions Committee to conduct tests in the required subjects. The Admissions Committee consists of supervising educators and subject coordinators who prepare and review entrance questions, administer the tests, and assess results. A staff member conducts a short interview with the student to understand personality, thinking patterns, health, and overall behavior. The counselor documents the interview results and provides a recommendation to the school administration regarding admission, with reasons kept on file if not admitted. The decision to admit or reject is made by the administration and communicated to the Student Affairs unit, which informs the parent. The school retains reasons for non-admission internally. The relevant forms for registration include the Student Information Form (to be filled and submitted to the school) and the Behavioral Contract form.
The school offers a Quran memorization discount: students who memorize the entire Quran and pass the internal school test receive a 50% reduction on the annual fee. Other formal scholarship or financial aid programs are not listed in the admissions and fees sections reviewed here.
There is no published waitlist or pool system in the admissions materials.
