The school is designed for students who fall into four areas of need. Our students need support in communicating, cognition and learning, social and emotional development, physical development and sensory needs. Our students have been diagnosed with speech, language and learning delays, learning difficulties, ADHD, Autism, Down’s Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy, amongst others. While we aim to support most needs, the school is designed as a classroom environment and is not resourced for a diagnosis that requires one-to-one support. We are unable to support students who are blind or deaf.

Education should be accessible to all. All community members should be able to benefit from high-quality education. Britus International School – Special Education operates a fair and transparent admissions process, with applicants to the school being accepted without selection based upon academic achievement or potential, ethnicity, religion, gender or any other possible form of discrimination. BISSE adheres to age and students need appropriate admissions according to the Bahrain Ministry of Education regulations. All required documentation must be received before the child is accepted.
At the admissions stage, children are assessed on their readiness to start learning at Britus International School – Special Education. The initial assessment pre-admission will also provide us with key information in relation to your child’s ability to socialize with children and adults and the way they interact with their surroundings. Learners will experience challenges but we are here to support that with your help.
