Al Bayan Bilingual School
Hawalli
American Curriculum
Grade 5-12
The majority of students are either driven to school by a parent or a private driver. Some students are transported by bus.
The Middle/High School campus will soon be replaced as construction is underway. The school has several computer labs, a library, a gym and a theatre. In addition, it has two music rooms and two art rooms. It has a small soccer pitch and several basketball courts. Many after-school programs are offered to BBS students. After-school clubs, a homework clinic, and a host of activities planned by student council provide plenty of oportunities for the students.
The school curriculum is based on an American curriculum. The school is bilingual, with most speaking arabic and English. Given that it is bilingual, the overwhelming majority of students are arabic speakers. Special programs are developed to meet the needs of any student who is not able to take part in the arabic program. Having said that, this school best serves bilingual students.
There is a very active PTA that plans a number of events during the school year. The PTA conducts a number of fundraisers each year and supports a number of scholarships. The PTA supports a number of charity organizations in addition to a number of social gatherings for teachers.
Al Bayan Bilingual school is a great place to learn if you are bilingual. Teachers and adminstrators have an open door policy so parents are always welcome to visit. It has a demanding curriculum and high standards and expectations. English continues to a be a focus of both the MS and HS and the introduction of Writers Workshop is a great example of this committment to excellence. If your goal is to get your child into a good university and provide them with a solid education, then BBS is one option you might want to consider!

bbs is the worse school ever !! my kids have been going to albayan school since nursery and now my daughter is going to high school and her english is weak and her arabic too..and although we paid a fortune thinking that its for our childrens best interest it appears that our money went down the drain !! the teachers are not qualified and they depend on parents to bring private tutors for thier kids and thus pay more money i regret enrolling my kids in that awful school and now i think its too late
guestThe School is not respecting the teacher either the future of the kids, I was one of the teacher there, I will bring up my experience soon as I prepare the evidence, therefor check very well before accepting their job proposal
