Britus Education yesterday announced the acquisition of the management and operations rights to Athena Private School for Special Education, which it will rebrand to Britus International School – Special Education.

The rebranding, which has been approved by the Ministry of Education, aligns with Britus’ efforts to unify and transform its growing network of schools owned and managed across the GCC and North Africa.

Britus is a leading special education provider in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Established in 2019, it serves students age K-16+, catering to a broad range of special needs.

These include general learning difficulties, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Communication Disorders, Physical Disabilities, Specific Learning Disabilities (such as Dyslexia), Down Syndrome and other genetic or chromosomal disorders and those with neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD, ODD, OCD and ADD, among others. Britus already operates seven private schools in the region under its brand.

These include four locations in Saudi Arabia (AlOlaya, Al-Murabaa, Al- Rowda and Al- Fayhaa) and recently rebranded schools in Bahrain (AMA International School), Dubai (Sheffield Private School) and Tunis (British International School in Tunis).

As part of the Britus Education platform, students at Britus International School – Special Education who progress to the necessary level can also seamlessly be enrolled and transition into the mainstream Britus school network.

Commenting, Fatema Kamal, Acting CEO of Britus Education, added, “We’re delighted to add a leading special education school to our portfolio of schools to meet a key need in our community.

We will work with special needs students that develop acceptable skill levels to blend them into mainstream education.”
