Bhavans-Bahrain Indian School (BIS) has been awarded the prestigious ‘outstanding’ rating by the Bahrain Education and Training Quality Authority (BQA).
This recognition, which is the highest rating a school can achieve under the national quality framework, is a proud milestone for BIS, as it reflects the commitment, vision and relentless efforts of its educators, students, and leadership team.
It is also a mark of educational excellence, institutional effectiveness and student-centred learning.
The academic year 2024–25 proved to be a landmark one, with BIS achieving a 100 per cent pass rate in Grades 10 and 12. Grade 10’s Pritha Singh stood out with an impressive 97.4pc, while the top performers in Grade 12 science and commerce streams scored 95.8pc and 95.6pc, respectively.
On the international front, BIS became the only school in Bahrain to be placed in the Advanced Band in Progress in International Reading Literacy Study with an exceptional score of 630.
BIS also maintained a commanding presence in regional competitions by winning the Overall Championship at the BME French Poetica 2025 in Kuwait and taking top spots in the English and Hindi Poetica contests across the GCC.

In mathematics, the school celebrated the crowning of Kushagra Sah as Math Wizard 2025 and saw Lakshya Kulshreshth recognised as school topper in the Sacred Heart Math Competition. BIS triumphed as host of the BISQ 2024 quiz competition, winning first place along with $1,000 (BD377).
Sporting excellence was another hallmark this year as students won gold medals in chess and table tennis. Their victories continued at Bahrain’s Mini Olympics. Sunish Sunil Bayalan secured gold in the 3,000m race and silver in the 1,500m event, while Sarah Jojy earned a silver medal in track.
The school also continued to uphold its commitment to the community through humanitarian initiatives supporting the Indian Community Relief Fund, Bahrain Breast Cancer Society and the Royal Humanitarian Foundation.
With a steadfast focus on innovation, scholarship, character and community, Bahrain Indian School continues to raise the bar, not just in the kingdom, but across the globe.
