Grade 12 students at Riffa Views International School (RVIS), who were finishing up their last semester of high school when Covid-19 changed the way education was delivered, have achieved stunning results despite the challenges.
The move to virtual school in February required teachers and students across the kingdom to develop innovative ways to stay connected and remain on track academically.
While taking part in virtual school, IB students at RVIS achieved a 100 per cent pass rate and recorded some of the highest scores in the school’s history.
Twenty per cent of RVIS graduates also earned a bilingual diploma in both Arabic and English, which the school says would have been a ‘notable achievement under the best of circumstances’, demonstrating a strong academic programme and support network.

IB Arabic teacher Dima Abu Sinneh said: “Throughout virtual school, we maintained a close relationship with our students to help them reach their goals and finish the year to the best of their abilities.
“I’m proud of the programme we developed as a school and even more proud of our students’ determination.”
The capstone for the school year was a graduation ceremony held recently at Arcapita Gardens in Bahrain Bay.
