Welcome from Principal
Welcome to The Secondary School!
This is my first year as Bahrain Bayan Secondary School Principal. I am both honored and happy to be part of this institution that has proven throughout the years to be integral and vital to the success of our Kingdom’s public and private sectors. I am confident that our students will continue to receive the best academic foundation and further indulge into the development of our future society.
In the Secondary School, we offer a wide variety of programs for our students, using internationally recognized standards, the Aero Standards. As part of our bilingual college preparatory curriculum, we offer the International Baccalaureate Programme in addition to our High School Diploma. Moreover, we also provide the students co-curricular programs such as The Student Council, NHS, NJHS, and other significant sports activities.
To the students, we always encourage them to aim as high as possible, because there are no limits to their dreams. With proper care and attention, dreams can be turned to realities, especially at this age of technology and communications. With proper academic and social education given as a solid foundation, students will have the abilities to overcome all obstacles in order to achieve their goals.
We will always strive to continue providing the best available for our students, where we strongly believe that there are always new future means for us to discover.

Curriculum
Throughout the secondary school our curriculum is committed to students achieving mastery of English and Arabic. Course offerings throughout the secondary program are based on the AERO standards in English, Math, and Science.
These standards are aligned with research-based trends in worldwide curriculum development. AERO provides a framework for curriculum consistency across grades K-12 and for a clearly planned sequence of curriculum. Teachers collaborate and develop units of study grounded in the standards so that students experience complete, in-depth, and thorough courses, Bahrain Bayan School also offers a strong Arabic curriculum and the required government syllabus in Social Studies, Religion, and Government. Theater, Art, Technology and Physical Education also play a strong role in the curriculum.
The Middle School program aims to prepare students in grades 6, 7 and 8 for the college preparatory curriculum in High School. They are encouraged to do research, class projects and presentations in both English and Arabic. The math program offers two streams standard integrated math and higher integrated math.
All High School courses are considered college preparatory. Therefore, all students at Bayan School are enrolled in a college preparatory program of study. For students in grades 11 and 12 the International Baccalaureate is available. These classes use the IB curriculum as prescribed by the IB World Organization. Students can choose individual IB classes combined with college preparatory classes, or they can choose to enroll in the full IB Diploma Program. With students’ hard work and dedicated academic focus towards meeting the Bayan School graduation requirements, all student graduate with a Bayan School high school diploma and are well prepared to enter college.
