Step 1. Confirm eligibility and seat availability. The Philippine School Bahrain uses a DepEd-based curriculum approved by the Ministry of Education and follows the Philippine K to 12 framework. New students from DepEd-curriculum schools can transfer at any time upon presentation of valid required documents and payment of the prescribed fees, provided seats are available. New students from non-DepEd curriculum schools can join only at the beginning of each school year and must pass the interview and written assessments to confirm their suitability and proper grade placement, in addition to fulfilling the regular admission requirements.

Step 2. Prepare and submit the required documents. For Kindergarten to Grade 1, the application requires a completed Registration/Enrollment Form, a Philippine passport (original and photocopy), birth certificate, CPR (for both student and parents), health/medical/vaccination record, two passport-style photos, and a satisfactorily passed assessment. For Grades 2 to 11, applicants from DepEd curriculum schools must provide the Registration/Enrollment Form, Original SF9 Report Card, Authenticated SF10 Transcript of Records, Philippine passport copies, birth certificate, CPR, health/medical records, Certificate of Good Moral Character, two photos, and a satisfactorily passed assessment. Applicants from NON-DepEd curriculum schools must provide the Registration/Enrollment Form, Complete Record of Scholastic Performance, Leaving Certificate, Philippine passport copies, birth certificate, CPR, health/medical records, Certificate of Good Behavior, two photos, and a satisfactorily passed assessment.

Across eligible tracks, applicants must pass the assessment to continue in the admissions process.
