Dear Parents and Students,
A dormitory is a very close-knit community within which many friendships are formed which often last for many years into adulthood. For a lot of our students the dormitory years mark the beginning of reduced dependence on parents and increasing self-reliance. The parents of the students who live in the dormitory rely on the dormitory staff to guide and support their sons and daughters through this period in transition.
The House Parents, teachers, administrators and other staff are fully committed to helping students make a smooth adjustment to boarding life and to ensure that the time they spend at the Bahrain School is happy and successful both academically and socially.
A handbook has been written to give parents and students some guidance as to what life in the dormitory will be like and to advise you of some of our expectations. It is also important that you read the school brochure and the parent/student handbook so that you can have a clear picture of the whole school. Dormitory staff will supply additional and more detailed information as necessary.
The aim of the dormitory is to provide a safe, happy and harmonious home-away-from-home in which students can grow academically and personally. When a student enrols into the dormitory that student is agreeing to become part of the community and to be active in helping to achieve a trusting atmosphere in which all members of the community can thrive. To be able to accomplish this, students must show consideration for the welfare of other boarders and for the adults and their families who live in the dormitory community with them. This experience of living in such a community may provide one of the most important lessons that a young person learns in his/her life.
If you have any questions or comments about life in the BISA Dormitory, please do not hesitate to telephone or visit us.
To the students we extend a warm welcome and look forward to your arrival. To the parents we offer our assurance that we will do our utmost to enrich the lives of, and care for and protect your most precious gifts - your children.
Sincerely,
Mohammed Al Khateeb
Chairman
