History	History AL RAWABI PRIVATE SCHOOL was established in 1997 with 25 Kindergarten students in a small villa in Grnata, Kingdom of Bahrain. It expanded to include Primary, Intermediate, and Secondary levels and now operates across two Jablat Hebshi campuses: KG & Primary at Building 689, Road 3514, and Middle & High at Building 677, Road 3514, Block 435. In 2012 Cambridge IGCSE programs were introduced, and in 2014 the school was approved as an IB World School offering the IB Diploma Programme. The school became UNESCO-affiliated in 2015 and earned accreditation from the Middle States Association in 2017, with reaccreditation achieved in 2025. A new campus was launched in 2019, and a new website followed in 2022.	History New Generation Private School traces its origins to New Generation International School, established in Bahrain in 2005. In September 2018 the school was taken over by Suha Investments and restructured, with UK-based SDF Management Consultancy appointed to run the school. The revamp led to the rebranding as New Generation Private School and a governance model overseen by a London-based education consultancy. NGPS operates as an independent organization under this UK-led governance framework and follows a British curriculum with approval from the Bahraini Ministry of Education.
Community	Community Al Rawabi School is a national bilingual private school operating under Bahrain's Ministry of Education, serving both Bahraini and expatriate communities.

Roles within the PC include advisory work, communication, resource support, and advocacy for student needs. Membership is limited to eight members, selected for a three-year term through public elections, with defined roles such as Chairperson and Secretary and governance guidelines for attendance and decision-making.
