A Pioneer in Education
The Kingdom of Bahrain’s First Kindergarten to Pre-University International Baccalaureate World Continuum School and first K-12 recipient of NEASC Accreditation.
Naseem International School was established in the Kingdom of Bahrain, on January 4th, 1982 as a dual language school accommodating students from Nursery to Grade 12. The school is accredited by the Ministry of Education in the Kingdom of Bahrain. We are an IB World school offering the four International Baccalaureate Programmes namely, the PYP, the MYP, the DP and the CP. Additionally, we are accredited by the Middle States Association (MSA) and the Council of International Schools (CIS). During November 2023, we successfully completed a whole school accreditation visit by NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges). The IB CP is a career-focused course that combines two IB certificate courses, a BTEC Subsidiary Diploma in the students’ chosen field of interest and the IB CP Core course (Reflective Project, Service Learning, Language Development and Personal and Professional Skills). Following the successful completion of this programme our students will receive the IB CP Certificate, a BTEC Subsidiary Diploma and the accredited Naseem High School Diploma.
During the month of November 2022, our school underwent the Evaluation Visit by The Education and Training Quality Authority (BQA) . We are very proud to have obtained an “OUTSTANDING” rating, which is the highest rating awarded to any school in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Since 1982, Naseem has been dedicated to cultivating lifelong learners with a global perspective. We nurture compassionate leaders, inspire critical thinkers and empower future change-makers.

THE JOURNEY BEGINS
NIS IB Primary Years Programme (PYP)
SPARK CURIOSITY
We transform education for students aged 3 to 11. Introduced in 2008, NIS’ PYP offers a holistic approach, emphasizing significant learning experiences through annual transdisciplinary Units of Inquiry. These units integrate diverse subjects, fostering engagement, building on prior knowledge, and instigating positive action.
Guided by essential concepts, students explore identity, time, communication, organization, causation, and responsibility. Naseem’s PYP not only imparts knowledge but cultivates critical thinking, global awareness, and a sense of responsibility, shaping tomorrow’s leaders and change makers.
Curriculum that fosters inquiry, discovery, innovation and collaboration; a community that is intentionally diverse and inclusive; a strong progressive framework established by a visionary educator these are the hallmarks of our programme.
