Al-Bayan Educational Complex for Girls is an international,<br />

independent school licensed by the Qatari Supreme Council of<br />

Education. The school was first established as a scientific<br />

school offering international scientific curriculum to talented<br />

students. In 2004 Al-Bayan became an independent school,<br />

and started offering humanities to comply with the vision of<br />

the Supreme Council of creating a well-balanced student.<br />

Al-Bayan was founded in 1999 with the aim of providing an<br />

education of high quality, which would meet the highest<br />

international standards, whilst remaining firmly rooted in the<br />

Arab Islamic heritage. The school’s mission is to prepare<br />

students to become citizens of the world through its<br />

commitment to the development of the whole child, both as<br />

an individual and as a member of the international<br />

community. The school seeks to create leaders of tomorrow<br />

who are international in character, principles, concern and<br />

attitude; who are proud citizens of their own community yet<br />

tolerant, respectful and civil citizens of the world too.<br />

Since its modest beginnings, Al-Bayan had always been<br />

recognized by Qatari society as a pioneer leading school where<br />

modern educational methods and approaches are<br />

implemented and enthusiastically embraced, and, as such,<br />

has paved the way for other local schools to follow.<br />

In 2002, Al-Bayan Senior School began to investigate the<br />

International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme as a way to<br />

provide students with the opportunity for increased academic<br />

rigor. Al-Bayan became an <strong>IB</strong> <strong>World</strong> School, authorized to<br />

offer the <strong>IB</strong> Diploma Programme, in 2007. Al-Bayan’s first <strong>IB</strong><br />

cohort graduated in 2009 with astonishing results both<br />

internationally (<strong>IB</strong>) and nationally – Qatari Exit Examinations.<br />

Al-Bayan is a member in the Council of International Schools<br />

(CIS) and a mentor school for Microsoft.<br />
