The Kingdom of Bahrain has officially unveiled a new international school in Astana, Kazakhstan, marking a significant diplomatic and educational investment.

Funded by Bahrain’s Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF), the school aims to set a new standard in the region, offering a curriculum that integrates academic rigor with a global perspective.

Bahraini officials and Kazakh dignitaries attended the opening, lauding the project as a symbol of strong ties between the two nations.

The new school in Astana, a key project between Bahrain and Kazakhstan, has its roots in a diplomatic visit by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to Kazakhstan in 2014.

During this visit, the two nations began discussions on educational collaboration. Years later, the vision took a significant step forward when officials from the Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF) signed an agreement with Kazakh authorities to fund and construct the school.

This agreement solidified Bahrain’s support for educational development in Astana, with the school now set to serve as a model for international academic excellence in Kazakhstan.

The school’s curriculum emphasizes not only core academic subjects but also fosters cultural exchange, equipping students with skills essential for a globalized world.

Its modern facilities include advanced technology labs, athletic spaces, and community-focused learning areas, designed to support both academic achievement and personal growth.

For Kazakhstan, this development aligns with Astana’s vision of becoming a regional leader in education and innovation.

Bahraini leaders highlighted that the initiative underscores Bahrain’s commitment to promoting social impact abroad, emphasizing education’s role in long-term, cross-cultural partnerships.
