It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Al Mahd School operates in the Kingdom of Bahrain with three campuses: Saar, Samaheej, and East Riffa. The Saar campus is located in Saar, the Samaheej campus serves the Samaheej area, and the Riffa campus serves the East Riffa area. The school serves over 2,800 students across these campuses.
The curriculum is divided into four levels: Kindergarten (K.G. 1 and K.G. 2), Junior School (Grade 1–6) following the Cambridge International Primary Programme, Middle School (Grade 7–8) following the Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme, and Senior School (Grade 9–10) preparing students for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE). The Junior School is described as a full-day program from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm, with the Cambridge Primary framework used to guide learning. The Cambridge Curricula link seamlessly from Primary to Lower Secondary and then to IGCSE in Senior School.
The school presents itself as a British-curriculum, Cambridge-based day school operating across three Bahraini campuses and offering day-boarding traditions; external directories list it as co-educational.
Guidance and counselling services are referenced for student support. The site does not describe a dedicated SEN department or named SEN facilities, so formal special-education provisions are not specified in public pages.
Country affiliation: Kingdom of Bahrain.
There is no religious affiliation publicly indicated for the school.
The Junior School day runs from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm. The senior and middle school day structures are not specified in detail on the public pages.
A transport service is available by arrangement for the convenience of parents; it is not an obligatory service and the school sets transport guidelines to ensure safety and timeliness. Bus numbers, schedules, and routes are managed by the school's transport policy.
