For Pakistani families relocating to the Gulf and weighing international schools in Bahrain, Pakistan School Bahrain is the community option built around the home curriculum. It serves the island Pakistani expatriate population, teaching the Pakistani national curriculum and preparing pupils for the national board examinations, in English and Urdu. This profile sets out what GlobalSchoolGuide Editorial can confirm and marks anything we could not verify as not published.
We are independent and no school pays to be listed, so this is a reference for relocating parents rather than promotion.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Pakistan School Bahrain follows the Pakistani national curriculum, the same framework used in schools in Pakistan, with senior pupils prepared for the national board examinations such as those of the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education. Teaching is in English and Urdu, and the curriculum is designed to keep the route open to Pakistani colleges and universities, which is exactly why expatriate Pakistani families choose it over the international schools on the island.
This is a different proposition from the IB and British schools nearby, and parents weighing the alternatives can read our IB curriculum guide to see how an international pathway compares. Our guide to international school fees in Bahrain shows where community schools sit on price.

Admissions
Pakistan School Bahrain admits in line with the Pakistani academic calendar and serves the established expatriate community, so places in popular grades can be limited. The school reviews a child previous school records and may set a placement assessment suited to the year group. Priority is generally given to Pakistani families already settled in Bahrain.
If you are relocating mid year, ask the office about occasional places and the documents required for a transfer from a school in Pakistan or elsewhere in the Gulf, including the school leaving certificate.
Location and who goes there
The exact district is not published in sources we can verify, so we will not place the campus on the map here. Bahrain is compact, and community schools of this kind sit close to where their families live and work, so confirm the address and transport options with the school, particularly if you are choosing where to live around it.
The community is overwhelmingly expatriate Pakistani families who want an affordable, recognised national education that keeps the door open to universities back home. For the full landscape of districts, curricula and fees across the island, see the Bahrain city hub.
Reviews
We do not yet have verified parent reviews for Pakistan School Bahrain.

If your child attends or has attended the school, we would value your first hand account. Share your experience through the school reviews hub and help the next relocating family decide with better evidence.
