THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHOUEIFAT - MANAMA
ABOUT THE SCHOOL : An Introduction
The International School of Choueifat – Manama first opened its doors in 2006 to both Bahraini and international students from Kindergarten to Grade 8, adding a new grade level each year until reaching a full Kindergarten to Grade 12 offering. Since then, the school has graduated over 400 students who are leaders, critical thinkers, and conscientious young adults that are committed to contributing positively to society.
ISC-Manama strives to develop a safe and nurturing environment to support students on their journey to identify and achieve their full potential. Designed around three core pillars academic excellence, life skills, and personal well-being, our approach to education aims to provide students with a holistic school experience, combining our proud tradition of academic excellence with outstanding programs to develop character, skill, and grit.
The SABIS® education offered at our school is grounded in a set of shared values that encourages students to do their best and persevere with enthusiasm and commitment to attain their full potential; to learn to be independent and take ownership of their decisions and actions; to be inquisitive, forward-thinking, and agile learners ready for a changing world; to cultivate an awareness of self and others that is rooted in respect, empathy, and inclusivity; to practice honesty and integrity in all areas of life; and to be socially responsible citizens and active members of their community
Academics & School Life
At ISC-Manama, we believe that students learn best when they feel confident, safe, and engaged at school. Our experienced team of staff and teachers are committed to providing an optimal learning environment that nurtures academic achievement and challenges students to reach their full potential.
As a member of the global SABIS® Network, ISC-Manama uses the SABIS® Educational System, a well-rounded education that focuses on developing their full potential. The system is based on a well-structured curriculum, proven teaching methods, constructive assessments, advanced educational technology, and continuous follow-up and support to ensure that students are receiving a complete, 360° education. From Kindergarten all the way to High School, ISC-Manama students follow a curriculum that is designed to establish a solid academic foundation and develop students’ logical reasoning and critical thinking skills, while generating excitement for lifelong learning.
In every subject and at every grade level, our academic approach to learning provides students a structure that promotes the mastery of essential concepts. Through teaching methods that actively engage students in the learning process as well as frequent assessment and comprehensive support and follow-up, we help our students achieve success in school and build strong foundations that prepare them for the next level. This highly effective approach provides a 360° view of individual progress to keep students, teachers, and parents informed at all times, as well as motivates and involves students in a dynamic and collaborative learning environment.
Additionally, SABIS® recognizes that in an ever-evolving world, qualities, and skills such as leadership, critical thinking, communication, perseverance, grit, creativity, and teamwork are among the keys to success now and later in life. For this reason, embedded into the curriculum at ISC-Manama is a strong, student-led component of the school day. The SABIS® Student Life Organization promotes participation in a wide variety of activities, giving ISC-Manama students the opportunity to experience, practice, and develop this broad set of coveted life skills.
Track Record of Academic Excellence
Over the past 15+ years, ISC-Manama students have performed at high levels academically. They have excelled on internationally recognized, standardized exams like AP®, SAT, IELTS, IGCSEs, and A-levels, and have had a long record of acceptance and success at the most competitive universities locally and around the globe, mainly in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, the Middle and Far East, and Australia.
Life Preparation
ISC-Manama students are encouraged to take an active part and make a difference in their school and community. This is achieved through the SABIS® Student Life Organization (SLO), which is a student-led mini-society that is the heart of every SABIS® school and a main pillar of our Educational System.
Through the organization’s nine departments, students organize academic and social events, host games and challenges, plan athletic activities, participate in the Yearbook preparations, explore and showcase new skills, help academic standards, start clubs, raise awareness on important subjects, stand up for important causes, and much more. Our students are especially passionate about their outreach and social responsibility initiatives, which have included beach clean-ups, hosting orphaned children, visiting with the elderly, volunteering with special needs centers, and any activity that helps make a difference in the lives of others.
By taking on this active role, our students learn to take responsibility for their emotional, social, and moral growth as individuals as well as members of the larger Bahraini community. The real-life experiences students are exposed to help foster their personal development as well as provide them with a platform to acquire and refine skills, attitudes, and attributes that give them a huge advantage in university and beyond.
Self-Development
At ISC-Manama, we believe that student engagement in a multitude of activities is important for their well-being and for their development. In line with this belief, we encourage and celebrate our students’ participation and achievements in all extracurricular domains such as sports, music, drama, and the arts.
Sports represent an integral part of the ISC-Manama school experience. From afterschool sports activities and family events to international competitions and summer camps, ISC-Manama offers opportunities for young athletes at all skill levels. Our students get to develop their talents and perfect their techniques using our state-of-the-art sports facilities, which include a semi-Olympic-sized swimming pool, a very large and well-equipped sports hall, various full-sized indoor and outdoor courts, and a soccer field surrounded by a running track.
Beyond sports, ISC-Manama offers a variety of enriching clubs and activities, through which students learn many new skills, challenge themselves, and have lots of fun. Activities include arts and crafts, ballet, chess, choir, dance, debating, drama, film, IT, science, and many more. Our music, theater, and arts program allow students to explore their talents and develop important life skills.
From being on stage, performing in a choir, entering art competitions, and much more, we want to give our students the opportunity to shine. Confidence, self-expression, creativity, teamwork, and integrity are just a few of the many traits ISC-Manama students acquire from these programs.
