Billing schedule and payment terms

- The publicly listed fee schedule shows the one-time registration charge and itemised annual charges but does not publish a detailed instalment schedule or specific payment due dates in the fee document. The published amounts are presented as annual totals; per-term breakdowns above have been calculated by dividing those annual totals by three to provide an approximate per-term figure where a term-level schedule is not published.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not listed in the school fee schedule and no boarding fees are published. Boarding fees are therefore not applicable in the published fee schedule.

Other costs and regular additional charges

- The published fee schedule itemises the following annual/additional charges by year group where applicable: sports fee, computer fee, laboratory fee, and books.
- Uniforms, transport (bus) fees, extracurricular activity fees, and any security/caution deposits are not listed in the published fee table; these items are not included in the published annual totals shown above.

Refund information

- No refund policy or refund schedule is published alongside the fee table in the publicly listed fee schedule. The published fee pages do not specify refund conditions or refundable deposits.

Fee payment options

- The published fee schedule does not specify accepted payment methods (for example credit card, bank transfer, or post‑dated cheques) or the bank account details in the fee table. Accepted payment methods are not detailed in the published fee table.

Notes on per-term figures above

- Where the school has published only annual totals, per-term totals shown above were calculated by dividing the published annual total by three to provide an approximate per-term value. The registration charge is presented as a one-time payment and has not been divided into term values in the above per-term calculations. The published annual figures and itemised components are those shown in the school's fee schedule.

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

City International School Bahrain places emphasis on the holistic development of students, including social, emotional, and physical growth. The Academic Program notes that the diverse international student body supports goodwill, friendliness, tolerance and understanding, and that education is intellectually, socially and emotionally rounded. It also states that guidance in critical thinking, social openness and purposeful research is provided to students. The Vision and Mission highlight empowering students to become confident communicators, critical thinkers, and creative individuals, with values such as respect, empathy, dedication and teamwork. The school underlines care for the well-being and happiness of every student through its broad extracurricular program.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) support on publicly accessible pages. The available CIS Bahrain pages describe an inclusive international education with emphasis on social, emotional and creative development but do not name a dedicated SEN department, staff or specific SEN programs. Admissions content focuses on general development (social, emotional, academic) rather than targeted SEN services. The Bahraini Ministry of Education's educational institutions finder lists City International School as a recognized school but does not document SEN provisions. SEN information is therefore not publicly disclosed.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school states it caters for English-speaking children, indicating English as the medium of instruction. There is no explicit description of EAL programmes or language-support services on publicly accessible CIS Bahrain pages. Admissions material emphasizes English-speaking intake and overall development rather than language-support specific provisions. No dedicated EAL policy or staffed programme is publicly described.

Mental Wellbeing

The education program includes social, emotional and physical development as part of a holistic approach. The Vision & Mission emphasize values such as respect and empathy and aim to develop 21st-century skills, which relate to students' mental wellbeing. The About section notes that care is taken to ensure the well-being and happiness of every student. Extracurricular activities are presented as part of promoting a healthy, well-rounded student experience.

Safeguarding

Public CIS Bahrain pages do not publicly disclose a safeguarding or child-protection policy. Contact details for the school are provided, and the Bahraini Ministry of Education lists City International School as a recognized institution, but safeguarding policies are not described on the public pages. Therefore, explicit safeguarding provisions are not available from the publicly accessible content. If safeguarding information is required, the school's contact channels can be used to inquire directly.
