On this Great Day, Pakistan School sends its best wishes to all our fellow compatriots in Bahrain.

Let’s salute and remember the sacrifices and sufferings of great many for this great accomplishment. We are happy to present an outline of Pakistan School, Bahrain on this blissful occasion. The incipiency of Pakistan School goes back to the later part of 1960s when the leading visionary members of the community realized the need for a schooling system for their children, leading to the establishment of a small primary school in 1968 in a rented building in Fariq Fadil area of Manama.

After a few years the school was upgraded to secondary level education following affiliation with the Federal Board, Islamabad, Pakistan. In 1984, the new campus of the Pakistan School was constructed in Isa town, which was inaugurated by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Premier. Two new blocks, Jinnah Block and Sir Sayed Block were constructed in Isa town Campus, between 1994-95. Today Pakistan school has two wings, Manama (Primary) and the main campus Isa Town. The school is imparting quality education to students from 22 different nationalities.

Besides Pakistanis, a huge number of Bahraini students are also on the roll of the school which is an indicator of the quality of education offered here and the trust shown by the Bahraini community in Pakistan School. Pakistan School has laid down a well-defined, effective, practicable and productive network of extra and co-curricular activities for the personality and the character building of the students. These activities are conducted on inter class, inter house and inter school levels.
