Arabian Pearl Gulf Private School (1996)

Mr. Mohammed Moosa Al A'ali founded APG School. Mr. Al A'ali has a special passion to provide high quality education to the children of Bahrain. His main objective is to produce highly educated learners who will be serving their country and the world as global citizens. Achievers translate their passion to reality that will benefit society. Mr. Al A'ali is that achiever who strongly believes that learning and education are the main "feeding substances" for the mind, heart, and soul. Thus, the Arabian Pearl Gulf.

APG is meant to carry the national reflection of Bahrain as the Pearl of the Gulf. Bahrain government plays a vital role in encouraging the private sectors to participate in nation building through quality education. APG enjoys government's support to provide quality education to all Bahrainis and non-Bahrainis.

APG has grown steadily through the years. Today, APG educates 1,394 students from K-12, offering international curriculums. It was authorized to offer the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education or IGCSE in 2006. To firm up the quality education of its school leavers, it immediately underwent the authorization process of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme or IBDP, and was authorized to implement the IBDP in 2008. APG successfully graduated its first batch in 2010 and first batch of IB in 2011. Since 2014, APG requires all graduates to take IB as full diploma or certificate.

The school is successfully run by the principal Ms. Ebtisam Saeed Al Zeera – Bahraini citizen who believes that the learner is the center of a learning process and all other decisions and activities are built around the integral development of the learner.

The whole APG community, led by the dynamic executive chairman Mr Al'Aali and by the inspiring educator Principal Ebtisam Saeed Al-Zeera, is always giving its best in making sure that the learners are at the heart of the school's journey to success.
