- The school does not publish a fee schedule showing tuition rates by grade, per term, or per year in its publicly available admission and school information pages. No numerical tuition amounts for individual year groups or term installments are posted.

Billing schedule and payment terms

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- There is no indication that a boarding facility is offered; the school's facilities description lists services such as a cafeteria, transport, and medical/first-aid provisions but does not describe any boarding provision or boarding fees. Therefore no boarding fees are published.

Other costs or fees (uniform, labs, transport, deposits, etc.)

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Pakistan School Bahrain describes itself as a supportive and caring community. The school states that positive relationships between parents, students and teachers form the foundation of the learning environment, and that ongoing communication helps support student success. The Student Affairs section highlights co- and extracurricular activities and clubs intended to provide a holistic education, including Islamic Society, Sports Society, Science Society, Social & Cultural Society, Arts and Dramatic Society, Literacy and Debating Society, and Environment Society. Physical Education is integrated into the timetable and treated as a core part of student development. A formal social and emotional learning (SEL) programme or dedicated staff for SEL is not publicly described.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Publicly available materials do not specify SEN provisions. The pages describe a generally supportive school culture but do not detail any SEN policy, types of needs supported, or whether the school operates as a specialist SEN institution. No staff or departments dedicated to SEN are named in the public materials. It is not possible to confirm from these sources whether targeted SEN support or inclusive education measures exist beyond general support. The absence of explicit SEN information means stakeholders should seek direct confirmation for SEN requirements.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Public information does not outline English as an Additional Language (EAL) provision. The materials describe a supportive learning environment but do not specify EAL programmes, staff, or language-support services. There is no explicit statement on EAL support in the available public materials. The school does not publicly disclose information regarding EAL.

Mental Wellbeing

Mental wellbeing is not described as a separate program in publicly available materials. A Medical Facility provides first aid on site, and in emergencies, students are referred to external medical facilities (BDF or Salmaniya Medical Complex). The Student Affairs section notes a supportive learning community and encourages ongoing communication with parents to support student well-being. There is no explicit information about psychologist services, counselling, or broader mental health programs on the public pages.

Safeguarding

The available material does not publicly disclose safeguarding or child protection policies. The pages emphasize supportive relationships and parent–teacher communication as foundations of the learning environment, but no explicit safeguarding framework is described. No safeguarding officer or safeguarding policy is named in the public materials. The absence of explicit safeguarding information means stakeholders should seek direct confirmation for safeguarding practices.

Admissions

Admissions

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.

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.

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.

Scholarships

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.

Waitlist

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.
