Let's refresh and remember the unprecedented and great sacrifices of the martyrs who laid down their lives for a free and sovereign Pakistan. We are pleased to share a brief overview of Pakistan School, Bahrain, on this joyous occasion. The baseline of Pakistan School goes back to the later part of 1960s when the leading visionary members of the community realized the need for a schooling system for their children, leading to the establishment of a small primary school in 1968 in a rented building in Fareej Fadhel area of Manama. After a few years the school was upgraded to secondary level education following affiliation with the Federal Board, Islamabad, Pakistan. In 1984, the new campus of the Pakistan School was constructed in Isa town, which was inaugurated by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Premier. Two new blocks, Jinnah Block and Sir Sayed Block were constructed in Isa Town Campus, between 1994-95. Today Pakistan school has two wings, Manama (Primary) and the main campus Isa Town. Pakistan School's Federal Board results have shown consistent and impressive improvement over the last few years.

Besides Federal Board Examination, our students have also showcased their skills in the TIMMS, PIRLS and World Scholar's Cup. Pakistan School students have won 856 Gold and 598 Silver medals and trophies in the World Scholar's Cup competitions from 2018 to 2025.
