Alumni appreciation!
It’s a legacy you leave behind when you step outside the gates of your school and into a world of opportunities. Students turned alumni are the greatest assets a school can have – torchbearers of the school’s culture, reflecting the importance of the education they’ve received, and a bank of all the memories they spent making all those years!
At the British School of Bahrain, alumni are leaving their mark on the world! Singer-songwriter, James Arthur is an alum of BSB, and he’s not the only one adding feathers to the school’s cap when it comes to alumni excellence!
