British school to come up in Bahrain
Manama : Bin Faqeeh Education and King’s Group, the UK based educational group, have announced their plans to set up and operate a British school in Bahrain that is intended to bring together the superior development capabilities of Bin Faqeeh Real Estate Investment Company and the education provisioning of King’s Group.
The school will cater to students from kindergarten to English grade 13, offering education as per British standards with a focus on delivering an integrated model that places added emphasis on Arabic and Islamic studies.
The planned school,which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2018, will accommodate around 1500-2000 students.
The school will operate under the King’s Group umbrella and carry the brand identity of King’s College – School of Bahrain.
The school premises will be purpose-built to the highest specifications to provide a nurturing setup that is conducive to learning and student growth.
A strategically positioned parcel of land has already been secured for the project, located at the heart of Bahrain.
“Bin Faqeeh Education represents our premier venture into the education field, and we are very pleased to be taking this step along such an established and well-respected partner as King’s Group,” said Faisal Abdulwahid Faqeeh, a prominent businessman.
“There is a clear gap in the market offering for superior quality education that prepares our children for global citizenship, yet instils a sense of pride in our language, religion and culture,” he added.
“Having signed the cooperation agreement with King’s Group, we are now ready to take this idea from the drawing board to realisation. Bahrain has always been well known for the quality of its workforce and the work ethic of its population. This starts with education, and our objective is to leave our mark on the education scene” he added.
“It is with great pleasure that we begin this venture with Bin Faqeeh Education in Bahrain. We firmly believe in the future and potential of this wonderful country and are delighted to be in alliance with such a strong partner,” Nicholas Fry, Vice Chairman of King’s Group commented.
The initiative is facilitated and structured by J Equity Partners, the Bahrain based Shariah compliant investment firm.
“We see substantial value in the twinning of the breadth and capabilities offered by both Bin Faqeeh Group and King’s Group. As such, we have designed an integrated investment structure to host this ambitious project, capturing the core competencies of the sponsors of this initiative in a manner that strikes a balance between economic viability and achieving the desired social impact,” Dr. Ahmed Al Jawhery, Chief Executive Officer of J Equity Partners said.
