Shaikha Hessa Girls’ School believes that each girl is unique and that valuing the importance of oneself is critical in the pursuit of leading a fulfilling life. We are seriously devoted to bringing our students the best education in Bahrain. We try to maintain a low teacher-student ratio, and provide our teachers every incentive for continuous improvements, growth and development. We aim to create a nurturing and supportive yet academically challenging environment that allows each student to reach her full potential.
