School Academics
International School of Creative Science Bahrain currently provides education for children 3 to 14 years of age, with year groups offered from FS1 to Year 9.
The school follows the National Curriculum for England alongside the Bahrain Ministry of Education curriculum for Arabic Language, Islamic Education and national studies. Arabic is provided for both Arabic-speaking and non-Arabic-speaking students, enabling learners to study the language at an appropriate level.
In the Early Years Foundation Stage, learning covers communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design. Teaching combines adult-directed activities with child-initiated learning to support curiosity, independence and early academic development.
As students progress through the Primary and lower Secondary stages, the curriculum develops knowledge and skills progressively across subjects including English, Mathematics, Science, Arabic, Islamic Education, History, Geography, Computer Science, Physical Education, Art and Design.
The school uses thematic and cross-curricular learning where appropriate, while placing importance on literacy, numeracy, oracy, creative thinking and problem-solving. Its academic programme is further supported by Quran memorisation and the Integrated Virtues Curriculum, which connects learning with character development, faith, cultural awareness and practical application.
