Academics

Canadian School Bahrain teaches Canadian Curriculum for students aged 3 to 16.

Curriculum
The Canadian School Bahrain delivers the British Columbia (BC) curriculum offshore from Nursery through Grade 12, with Arabic language studies, Islamic studies, and Bahraini social studies and citizenship integrated to meet both the Bahrain MOE and BC Ministry of Education requirements. The BC curriculum at CSB is inquiry-based and centers on three core competencies—Communication, Critical and Creative Thinking, and Personal and Social Responsibility—with subjects including English, Math, Science, Social Studies, Applied Skills, Career Education, Arabic Language, and Citizenship and Islamic Studies. Students are assigned a Personal Education Number (PEN) and progress along the BC education path from Early Learning through Grade 12, culminating in the Dogwood graduation certificate at Grade 12. The Arabic program follows the Bahrain Ministry of Education requirements and is integrated with BC competencies, with Islamic studies optional for non-Bahraini students and service opportunities embedded in the curriculum. CSB is a non-profit, certified BC offshore school that opened in 2019 for Nursery to Grade 3 and is expanding to Grade 12 by 2026.
