Indian School Bahrain

The Indian School Bahrain operates across two campuses in Bahrain: the Isa Town Senior Campus and the Riffa Junior Campus. The Isa Town campus houses the upper grades (IV to XII), while the Riffa campus serves the lower grades (LKG to III). The Isa Town campus is located in Isa Town in the Southern Governorate, and the Riffa campus is in West Riffa. The campuses are accessible via Bahrain's road network, serving families from across the island.

The school is organized on two campuses with a grade split: Riffa Campus for early years (LKG to III) and Isa Town Campus for upper levels (IV to XII). This arrangement allows a progression from early years through to pre-university level across the two sites.

The Indian School Bahrain is a co-educational private CBSE-affiliated school. It operates as a day school with no publicly listed boarding facilities.

In Bahrain, mainstream schools receive SEN support under the Ministry of Education, and ISB follows national SEN policies for inclusive education. Specific internal SEN provisions at ISB are not publicly detailed.

The school follows the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), India, indicating an Indian country affiliation through its curriculum.

The Indian School Bahrain has no formal religious affiliation and operates as a secular, multi-national community school.

The Isa Town Campus typically runs Sunday to Thursday from about 7:25 am to 1:30 pm. The Riffa Campus typically runs Sunday to Thursday from about 8:00 am to 12:30 pm. Friday is a different schedule in some cases, and Saturday is usually a non-teaching day.

ISB maintains its own transport system with five buses and three minivans, while the remaining ~200 buses are contracted to a Transport Operator. The Transport Department coordinates pickup and drop-off points and timings, and the school provides transport contacts for queries.
