1. Application Submission: Parents must complete the application form available on the school's official site or from the Admission Office, and submit it with all required documents. Required documents include passport copy, Bahrain CPR or residence permit (for non-Bahraini students), birth certificate, and copies of the student's and parents' identification and permits. The student should meet the age requirements for the grade they are applying for and have completed the previous grade in an accredited school. Applications are accepted throughout the year, with deadlines for specific academic sessions announced by the school.

2. Entrance Test: An entrance test may be required for new students. Tests cover English, Mathematics, Urdu/Arabic, and Science, depending on grade level. For Grades 9 to 12, two streams are offered—Science and Humanities—with five streams listed for Grades 11–12 (Pre Medical, Pre Engineering, Science General, Commerce, Humanities). The test results are used to determine readiness for the applied grade.

3. Interview (if applicable): An interview may be conducted to assess a student's overall preparedness, especially for students transferring from other systems or for Grades 9 to 12. The interview complements test results in the admission decision.

4. Document Verification: All documents provided by the student must be verified for authenticity. Any discrepancies may result in the cancellation of admission. Verification is part of the final admission checks before seat allocation.

5. Promotion and Evaluation: Promotion to the next grade follows the FBISE framework, with the school evaluating through internal exams in addition to FBISE external examinations. Students must meet subject requirements as per FBISE guidelines to advance to the next grade.

6. Transfer Students: Transfer students from other schools must submit a Transfer Certificate and, when transferring from other curricula, a migration certificate may be required. The student will be placed in the appropriate grade based on academic history and eligibility.

7. Readmission: Readmission requires a formal application, completion of any missed assessments if returning after absence, and clearance of pending fees. A meeting with a senior officer or principal may be required to discuss attendance history and commitment to regular attendance. Readmission is approved only after all conditions are satisfactorily met.

8. Admission Timeline: Applications are accepted year‑round, with deadlines for specific sessions announced by the school. Admission results are communicated within a few weeks after the entrance test and any interview. The start of classes typically occurs in April or as indicated by the academic calendar.

PSB has conducted scholarship awards as part of its ceremonies. A Scholarship Award Ceremony on January 3, 2026 awarded 46 scholarships to outstanding students from Grades 9–11 who excelled in FBISE 2024‑25. The Graduation Ceremony in 2024 also included scholarships being awarded. These events indicate an active scholarship program, with merit linked to FBISE results. Details on eligibility, amounts, or how to apply are not published on public pages.

PSB uses a waiting list when seats are not immediately available for a grade. Applicants on the waiting list are notified if a seat opens up. Priority for admission from the waiting list is given to siblings of current students. The waiting list remains active for the current academic year. If no seat is available, a reapplication is required for the next academic session.
