Our curriculum promotes an inquiry-based approach to learning to stimulate and develop thinking skills and encourage intellectual engagement. This framework provides a foundation on which the later stages of education can be built.

Palms follows the British Curriculum for English, Maths and Science and Bahrain›s national curriculum for Arabic language, social studies and Islamic education.

As a bilingual school, we strive to develop confident, responsible, innovative and engaged learners. We recognize that students are on an active and creative learning journey and our best supported in an environment which encourages learning through play and self-development.

Our lessons are based on differentiated instruction, which caters for the student’s individual needs and levels. Our teachers adopt and encouraging attitude, celebrating the students’ progress and success.

Together, our teachers and students set targets, sharing these with parents to encourage the most supportive learning environment.

Additional education needs a discussed with parents which helps to monitor students’ progress and develop a learning action plan.

At Palms, we strive to maintain a balance between academic achievement and developing students creative and artistic talents.

Our emphasis on creative arts, sport and drama provides a holistic school experience for students where they are given the opportunity to develop a range of skills, talents and interests. These subjects create not only a key section of our curriculum, they form the basis of our afterschool programme where students have the opportunity to develop the talents to a greater extent than the normal school day allows.

We provide a broad range of after-school clubs aimed at providing opportunities for students to explore their talents, for example, drama (English & Arabic), science, robotics, cookery, arts & crafts and sports.
