Schooling in Manama
Private schools in Manama are licensed by the Ministry of Education through its Directorate of Private Schools Licensing and Follow-Up, and inspected by the Education & Training Quality Authority (BQA), which publishes its review reports. The Ministry's Educational Institutions Finder lists 19 private school entries in the Capital Governorate, out of 81 private schools nationally. Bahrain is small, so many Manama families also look at schools in Isa Town, Riffa and Saar, a short drive away.
Juffair is the capital's busiest school district. Bahrain School, an American school run by the US Department of Defense Education Activity, offers AP courses and the AP Capstone programme, and Modern Knowledge Schools and New Generation Private School are close by. Adliya has the Multinational School and the Bangladesh School, and Arabian Pearl Gulf School, an IB World School, is in Bilad Al Qadeem.
Manama also has a wide range of community schools, including Sacred Heart School, the Pakistan School and The Asian School, alongside Al Raja School and the New Horizon and New Millennium schools. Students at British-curriculum schools sit Cambridge or Pearson Edexcel IGCSEs, and private candidates can enter through the British Council in Manama.
