Manama, Bahrain – August 24, 2025: Nadeen School proudly welcomed 950 learners back to campus today during a vibrant Back-to-School event that celebrated both community spirit and exciting new educational milestones.

Families were greeted with open hearts and warm smiles by the Senior Leadership Team and academic staff, creating a welcoming atmosphere that reflects Nadeen School’s values of inclusion, care, and excellence in learning.

As part of the day’s activities, parents had the opportunity to visit classrooms, meet the teachers, and connect with other families, fostering a strong sense of community and shared purpose from the very first day.

A key highlight of the event was the presence of the Ambassador of China, Mr. Ni Ruchi, who joined the celebrations to mark a significant milestone for Nadeen School: the launch of Mandarin as part of the Secondary School curriculum. This addition reflects the school’s global outlook and commitment to preparing learners for an interconnected future.

The event was further enriched by the presence and support of external partners, who collaborated with the school to bring added colour, creativity, and learning opportunities. Their contributions helped make the day even more memorable for learners and families alike.

Today was made even more special as Nadeen School welcomed its inaugural cohort of Year 11 learners. Learners and their parents had the opportunity to meet with Secondary academic staff and discuss the exciting year ahead, marking a pivotal step forward in the school’s ongoing expansion and academic journey.

We are so proud to see our community growing and thriving, said James Batts, Principal of Nadeen School. Today’s event wasn’t just about returning to school, it was about coming together as one learning family and setting the tone for a year full of discovery, growth, and connection.

With excitement in the air and strong partnerships in place, Nadeen School looks ahead to another inspiring academic year, guided by a shared vision of excellence and belonging.
