Abdulrahman Kanoo School Diyar (ARKS) welcomes staff, students and parents to the 2024/25 academic year. As we embark on this new chapter, we are thrilled to welcome both returning and new students to our community. Your presence here is a testament to ARKS growing reputation as a leader in innovative education.

Over the past two years, we have experienced tremendous growth – expanding our student body by an impressive 65%. This trajectory reflects the hard work and dedication of our faculty, staff, and most importantly-our students. Together, we have risen to new challenges, pushed the boundaries of what’s possible, and achieved recognition for our efforts. In addition to academic excellence, we place a strong emphasis on well-being. We believe that a supportive and nurturing environment is essential for both students and staff to thrive. Our commitment to wellbeing ensures that everyone in our community feels valued, respected, and empowered to achieve their best. By prioritising mental and emotional health, we create a space where everyone can flourish.

This summer, we were honored to receive a prestigious award that underscores our commitment to educational excellence. These accolades fuel our passion to continue innovating and setting new standards in our field. Whether you are just starting with the school or are founding families, you are joining a community of engaged learners and trailblazers. At ARKS Diyar, we believe in the transformative power of knowledge, creativity, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

As we begin this new academic year, we encourage each of you to embrace the spirit of exploration that defines our institution- our core values of Aspirational, Respect, Kindness, Excellence, Diversity and Uniqueness (ARKEDU). You are part of the only Bahraini Education Group in the Kingdom, one of currently two separate schools under this umbrella. Our OIC curriculum from Nursery to Yr 9, along with our Mandarin Programme taught throughout the school make us innovators and change agents, that we believe provide the environment that not only challenges our students but enables collaboration with peers and discover new passions that will shape their personal and professional journeys. We believe that the growth in staff and student numbers indicates ARKS establishing itself as a well-regarded educational option in its community.
