Welcome To Capital School Bahrain
Capital School Bahrain follows a traditional British through-school model, offering a structured and continuous learning journey from Early Years Foundation Stage through to Secondary School. Our class and form-based system ensures clear academic progression, consistency in teaching, and a supportive environment where pupils develop confidence, independence, and a strong sense of belonging—key strengths of an outstanding British education.
Alongside delivering the full British National Curriculum, we place equal emphasis on nurturing well-rounded individuals who are academically capable, socially confident, and morally grounded. By integrating Bahrain Ministry of Education requirements—including Arabic, Islamic Studies, Social Studies, and Citizenship—we ensure pupils remain deeply connected to their cultural identity while benefiting from internationally recognised British educational standards. This balanced approach equips our pupils with strong academic foundations, critical thinking skills, and global awareness, preparing them for success at top universities and in an ever-changing world.
