Inculcating values in students

Pakistan Day is a very unique and significant day for every Muslim in the subcontinent. March 23rd, every year, commemorates the adoption of Pakistan Resolution in 1940 at Lahore, which stands for social justice, religious harmony, economic parity, legal protection, cultural tolerance, enlightened vision of future, elimination of ethnic and religious differences, and above all a patriotic fervor to espouse the above ideals. On this Great Day, Pakistan School sends its best wishes to all our fellow compatriots in Bahrain. Let’s salute and remember the sacrifices and sufferings of great many for this great achievement.

We are happy to present a synopsis of Pakistan School, Bahrain on this joyous occasion. The genesis of Pakistan School goes back to the later part of 1960s when the leading visionary members of the community realized the need for a schooling system for their children, leading to the establishment of a small primary school in 1968 in a rented building in Fariq Fadil area of Manama. After a few years the school was upgraded to secondary level education following affiliation with the Federal Board, Islamabad, Pakistan.

In 1984, the new campus of the Pakistan School was constructed in Isa town, which was inaugurated by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Premier. Two new blocks, Jinnah Block and Sir Sayed Block were constructed in the Isa town campus, between 1994-95. Today Pakistan school has two wings, Manama (Primary) and the main campus Isa Town.

The school is delivering education to more than 2435 students from 17 different countries. Besides Pakistanis, around 800 Bahraini students are on the roll of the school, which is an indicator of the quality of education offered here and the trust reposed by the Bahraini community in Pakistan School. Our school is the first non Bahraini private school in Bahrain to introduce Arabic as a compulsory subject in the curriculum for all classes. An Islamic Center has been established in the school to create a generation equipped with the right knowledge of Islam.

The Board of Management, the governing council of the school, comprised of an elected parent body has been contributing immensely to the progress and development of the school. The sitting Board, elected again for a three year term in the election held on 2nd March 2019, has covered many distinctive landmarks over the last three years in academic and administrative areas.
