Al Raja School, commonly abbreviated as "ARS", is a private, bilingual, coeducational, multicultural non-profit K-12 institution in the capital city Manama, in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Founded in 1899 by Amy Zwemer as the country's first Western school, it was formerly known as the Acorn School and then as the American Mission School. Located in near proximity of the heart of the capital, Al Raja School lies adjacent to the American Mission Hospital, Bahrain's financial and diplomatic area, and a mosque.
The school offers the American Diploma and is accredited by AdvancED, an American accreditation agency. The Ministry of Education has also approved the high school diploma as equivalent to their Tawjihi Diploma. However, most of the classes are taught from International Baccalaureate or Advanced Placement textbooks. The school has a library featuring 16,000 books.
Some of the classes provided by the school include:
