Nadeen School Bahrain

What the school is

Teaching approach and school development

The school describes a child-centred approach informed by High Performance Learning. Its Thrive provision is intended for learners with more complex needs.

Nadeen’s history includes moves through Umm Al Hassam and Adliya before the Dilmunia campus. School-authored recruitment material describes expansion into senior years and plans for A-levels from 2026–27. Ask for the confirmed subject offer, teachers and facilities for the intake you are considering.

The June 2022 BSO inspection describes strong parent involvement, including consultation during the appointment of a principal. It also records that some parents found the volume of communication high. These observations predate the new campus and senior expansion.

The SEN tariff

Published learning-support and assessment charges

Secondary fee tables list four levels of learning support: Wave 1 classroom provision at no additional charge, Wave 2 at BHD 1,371 annually, Wave 3 at BHD 1,890 and Wave 4, the Thrive Achievement Centre, at BHD 2,742. The school’s 2026–27 fee policy lists the same wave charges and prices shadow support at BHD 4,800 a year for a half day and BHD 9,600 for a full day.

The 2025–26 fee policy listed BHD 25 for CAT4/CEMS baseline assessment and BHD 100 for WRIT or WIAT-3 assessment; the 2026–27 policy charges additional assessments, where required, from BHD 25 each. Obtain a written support quotation before accepting a place, including any review or reassessment charges.

Admissions and cost

Dated tuition and admissions terms

The school’s Ministry-approved 2026–27 schedule lists annual tuition of BHD 3,075 for Nursery, BHD 4,251 for Reception–Year 2, BHD 4,683 for Years 3–6, BHD 5,397 for Years 7–9, BHD 5,928 for Year 10 and BHD 6,585 for Year 11, payable in three termly instalments. A BHD 8,082 figure is listed for Years 12–13 as provision expands; a listed fee and an operating year group are separate things.

The 2026–27 policy specifies a non-refundable BHD 100 application fee and a BHD 225 registration and place-holding payment due within 72 hours of an offer. It also sets out a BHD 500 late-notification charge where the required term’s withdrawal notice is not given, and excludes refunds for force-majeure closures. Ask whether the place-holding payment is credited against tuition before accepting an offer.

The same policy lists a 5% discount for full-year tuition paid before 1 May, plus sibling discounts of 5% for the second child and 10% for the third and subsequent children. For 2026–27 the early-payment deadline was 1 May 2026, and a tuition discount does not automatically extend to support fees.

The family experience

Campus logistics and secondary expansion

The Dilmunia campus changes the school journey for families familiar with the former Adliya site. Developer materials describe transport planning and community facilities, including a parent café.

For a growing secondary school, ask how staffing, laboratories, subject choices and university guidance are being developed. Current retention figures and recent inspection findings say more about this than anonymous accounts or a recruitment profile.
