Founded in 1977, Al Bayan Bilingual School is a non-profit Arabic-English university preparatory educational institution, which fosters an environment for students to develop the intellectual qualities, ethical values and positive attitudes required for effective participation and leadership in the overall development of Kuwait and the rapidly changing world.

The school curriculum will reflect a rational balance between maintaining high standards and the need to tailor the program to meet the needs of each child. The instructional content will prepare students for university. The instructional process will prepare them for life. The process of instruction will seek responsible attitudes towards the individual’s role in his or her community while respecting other societies. The educational program will develop strategies to aid students in adapting to the demands of an increasingly complex world.

Al-Bayan Bilingual School students should:

1. Acquire the learning skills needed to pursue knowledge and higher education independently
2. Learn to seek information from various sources in order to reach conclusions through sound objective reasoning
3. Adopt a scientific attitude to learning, which adheres to higher ethical standards and respect for other people's ideas and beliefs
4. Acquire problem-solving skills

To be admitted to the High School, students must submit an application to the registrar, attached to an official transcript. Applicants must sit for admission assessments in Arabic, English and Math, in addition to an interview with the Principal. Upon successful completion of these, the student may be granted admission. Credits from the previous accredited school are simply attached to the current BBS transcript—they are not transferred. Minimum graduation requirements must be met during the time the student is at BBS.

The school is a community where fundamental rights apply to all persons, students and staff, throughout the entire school day, including travel to and from home and during school field experiences.

1. The right to an education means that teachers are free to teach and students are free to learn without being interrupted by inconsiderate and unruly behavior
2. The right to develop one’s own individuality, so long as it does not interfere with the rights of others, without criticism or pressure from others
3. The right to be treated respectfully
4. Freedom from physical abuse and from mental abuse such as intimidation, harassment, or name-calling
5. The right to privacy
6. Freedom from being set apart or mocked because of race, sex, religion, culture, handicap, classroom performance, etc.
7. The right to have personal and school property respected and safeguarded

Self-discipline is essential for the observance of these rights by members of any community. Self-discipline develops and promotes responsible citizenship. Continued positive self-control requires the cooperation of students, faculty, and parents.

Students are expected to observe the following:

1. Arrive to school on time
2. Wear proper school uniform
3. Come prepared for all classes
4. Speak respectfully to adults and fellow students
5. Take proper care of school property
6. Have a hall pass to be in corridors during lesson time
7. Not to eat or chew gum during lesson time
8. Adhere to the school ban on mobiles on school property
9. Walk (not run) in the building
10. Leave school with written authorization from the Nurse
11. Not to enter the theater and storage areas without an accompanying teacher or written authorization
12. Keep the school environment clean and free of litter
13. Line up when buying food from the canteen
14. Follow all the rules of any special area such as the mosque, the media center, the gym, the science labs, the theater, the clinic
15. Follow exam rules
16. Follow classroom rules set by the teachers
17. Adhere to the no smoking policy

• In the event a student does not demonstrate appropriate self-discipline regarding the school policies, procedures and regulations, a variety of sources are available to help the student improve his/her behavior.
• Initially the teacher and/or homeroom advisor concerned interacts with the student.
• The student may then be referred to the Counselor, or to the appropriate school administrator.
• Parents are invited to help solve recurring misbehavior before it leads to suspension or expulsion.

It is the desire of the staff of BBS to instill in students a sense of responsibility. Part of this lesson involves the concept of consequences for actions, both positive and negative. There are consequences for appropriate behaviors and for inappropriate behaviors. The seriousness of any misbehavior will determine the consequences applied. In general, the following steps will be implemented for inappropriate behavior:

• Warning by classroom teacher
• Repeated warning
• Isolation and deduction of marks
• Phone call to parents
• Detention at recess with concerned teacher
• Detention after school with concerned teacher (and phone call to parents)
• Student sent to Deputy Principal’s Office where he/she will remain for the remainder of the period

Note: It is understood that some very serious discipline situations may demand the immediate removal of the student from the class environment and that he or she could be sent to the Deputy Principal’s Office without going through the steps listed above.

When a student is sent to the Deputy Principal’s Office it is understood that the following consequences apply:

• Offending student shall not return to the class that day
• Offending student shall receive “0” on the day’s work in that period

The Deputy Principal’s Office will apply the following:


First Offence
Deputy Principal will interview the student, with written material provided by teacher, and attempt to resolve inappropriate behavior issues.Student will receive one office detention.


Second Offence
Repeat of the first consequences. Student will receive two office detentions. A phone call will be made explaining the consequences of an additional offence.


Third Offence
Student will be assigned four office detentions and a parental conference will be requested. The student will not be allowed to attend classes until that conference has taken place.


Fourth Offence
An out-of-school suspension for one day will be recommended. The student will depart from the school at the time of the infraction. The suspension will start the next school day, if the infraction occurs after the first period.


Fifth Offence
An additional day of out-of-school suspension for each occurrence from this point on will be recommended.

• 5th two day suspension
• 6th three day suspension
• 7th four day suspension

All staff will be notified of a student’s suspension and a student who is suspended will receive “0” on any work due or completed during the period of suspension. This will include quizzes and tests. There will be no opportunities for make-ups.

Students are expected to be in school and to follow their assigned schedules every day. Parents and students should be aware that what goes on in the classroom (teaching, interaction with teacher and students, discussion, lecture, reports, audiovisuals, cooperative learning) is essential for a student’s progress.

1. In case of a student’s absence, parents are requested to inform the school by 9:00 A.M.
2. In order to excuse an absence, it is critical that the student provide a medical report or other evidence to the Deputy Principal. These reports must be submitted when the student returns to school. DO NO submit these reports to the nurse.
3. An excused absence:
      - Personal illness
      - Serious family illness or family death
      - Family emergency
      - Other extraordinary circumstances approved by the school administrator
   
4. The student is in attendance if he/she is involved in a school related scheduled activity. A student on a field experience is considered present. The student is required to make up the work missed due to participation in field experience or school functions.
5. In order to participate in an Al-Bayan extra-curricular activity, the student must be present during the school day. This includes activities such as drama, athletic practices and competitions, rehearsals, school social events, and class activities.
6. Occasionally it might be absolutely necessary for a student to leave school before the end of the school day. A note from a parent/guardian stating the reason is required and must be given to the Deputy Principal’s office. Parents picking up students are to go to the reception area. Al-Bayan does not have an open campus. Students may not leave school during the day (e.g. for lunch) and then return to school.
Students who sign out for a doctor’s appointment must do so with the nurse. If students return from their doctor’s appointment or come late for any reason they must sign in with the Deputy Principal not the nurse.

Students are deemed to be late to class if they are not in their seats prepared to start class when the bell signifying the beginning to class rings. A student is not late to class if he/she has a note from the Deputy Principal or Principal excusing the tardiness. Students who are late 15 minutes or more for period one will not be permitted to attend class. The following consequences will be enforced for students who are late more than once.


Third Offence
Parents are notified by phone that the student has been late to school/class three times in a semester. The student will be issued a one-hour after-school detention.


Fourth Offence
An official letter will be sent home notifying the parents of the situation and informing them of what will happen if further lates to school/class are registered by the student.


Fifth Offence
The Deputy Principal will issue a one-day out-of-school suspension. The offending student will be assigned grades of ‘0’ on all class work, homework, and quizzes.


Subsequent Infractions


For each late to school/class after the fifth infraction, a two-day out-of-school suspension will be issued to the offending student. Again, please note that any student serving an out-of-school suspension cannot make up any missed work and will be issued grades of ‘0’ for any work on the day(s) of the suspension.

The terms excused and unexcused absences are used only to determine whether or not a student can make up missed work, tests, or quizzes. Excused absences are not removed from the attendance register of a student. Please see below for details pertaining to the number of absences permitted for all types of courses.


A One Credit Course

• After the third time of absence, the subject teacher calls the parent.

The Student Council has a faculty advisor. Student Council serves as a vehicle for students to exercise effective leadership, address concerns coherently, sponsor school activities and service projects, and accomplish tasks efficiently.

Al-Bayan is proud to have an active chapter of the National Honor Society. The NHS faculty council of the high school grants membership to this society. Students in grades ten, eleven and twelve can qualify for membership. Selection of new members takes place every year in October. Selected members are inducted in a special ceremony. Criteria and process of selection is based on the NHS constitution.

The High School Media Center is to ensure that students are effective information users. The center offers the student an open access atmosphere that promotes inquiry, creativity, self-direction and ability to find and use information. It provides supplementary material to support classroom instruction and encourages reading and enjoyment of literature. Technology has been effectively integrated with the use of networked personal computers for user access to the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-Rom resources, materials circulation, multimedia resources and Internet.

The goal of participating in activities and clubs is to help students develop interests beyond academic studies, broaden their perspectives, and provide them with opportunities for effective and enjoyable use of leisure time.

Students are encouraged to volunteer in helping to develop the yearbook and other school magazines.

Educational trips provide students and teachers with opportunities for learning and teaching beyond the classroom. A letter is sent to parents to secure their written approval for their children to participate in every trip.

Gifts to school staff are not to be made. Parents and students are requested to abide by this regulation.

Birthday parties are not permitted during class time. In certain cases, celebrations may be held with administrative authorization. No events including food are permitted without administration approval.

Students are to carefully pack their bags with their books and homework each school day. No deliveries are allowed to students during the school day if they forget their school belongings in the home. Only important items such as eyeglasses and medicines are allowed to be delivered. These must be properly labeled with the student’s name and grade, and delivered to the school receptionist.

Students may use the school telephone for EMERGENCY calls, before school, during lunch, and after school. Calling to ask for authorization to go to a friend's house is not an emergency.

Communication between school and family is of utmost importance. Students are expected to deliver school letters and circulars to their parents on the day of distribution.

Lockers are the property of the school, and students will be held financially responsible for any damage.

Students must not wear valuable jewelry or bring valuables to campus. The school does not accept any responsibility in the event of a loss.

Al-Bayan Bilingual School has evacuation, fire drill, and safe-haven procedures in place in case of emergency.

Students must comply with the end of year procedures. These include returning all media center books and other reference material and textbooks, clearing their lockers, desks, etc.

At the end of each semester and upon graduation, students with honors will be recognized in the following way:

• Students with a 4.0 cumulative GPA and above will receive High Honors with Distinction recognition.
• Students with a 3.75-3.99 cumulative GPA will receive High Honors recognition.
• Students with a 3.5-3.74 cumulative GPA will receive Honors recognition.
• To be placed on the Honor Roll a student must have a good behavior record.

Students are recognized for having a perfect attendance record. Perfect attendance is defined as being present in school on all days and in all classes and being on time for all classes during a semester. Absences or tardiness for excused and unexcused absence are counted equal for this purpose.

The Al-Muffarej family, in memory of their son, Al-Bayan student Bader, presents this award. The Al-Muffarej Award of Distinction is designed to annually honor a distinguished student in grades 10, 11 or 12. The award is designed for those students who have a cumulative GPA of 3.75 and above, and a current semester I GPA of 3.70.

The nominee must have a distinguished discipline record and good relations with both teachers and students. This award is presented during the commencement ceremony.

This award is designed by the Al-Bayan PTA to honor one student from the graduating class. A special committee from the PTA is in charge of this award. This award is based upon the active participation of the student in community service activities during his/her High School career. This is awarded during the commencement ceremony.

This award is designed by the Al-Bayan PTA to partially cover the expenses of one student, from grade ten, who is planning to study during the summer. This award is based upon the student’s achievement during his/her study in grade nine and ten, in addition to his/her interest in joining an accredited academic summer program.

School hours start at 7:15 AM and end at 2:30 PM. On certain days, after school activities and detention may be scheduled between 2:45-3:45 PM. Students are expected to arrive at school before classes begin. The school is not responsible for students remaining after 2:45 PM unless they are in a school sponsored event or an extra-help session. Teachers are available for extra help from 2:30-3:00 on Saturdays, Sundays, and Tuesdays.

Services provided by the Counselors at the High School include individual, academic and personal counseling. The Counselors are in close touch with parents. He/she provides special assistance for students in academic difficulty. The Counselors supervise external tests including PSAT (required for all 10th and 11th graders), SAT I/II, and Advanced Placement. The Counselors guide the juniors and the seniors in the admission process to the university. One hundred percent of our graduates continue their studies at a university, whether in the Gulf states, Kuwait or abroad.

Al-Bayan High School participates in the Advanced Placement (AP) Program sponsored by the College Board in the United States. These AP courses are equivalent to first year, one semester, university courses and are intended for students who have proven themselves able to handle the extra workload and study requirements.


AP Students are required to take the AP exam from the College Board at the end of the year. These exams are scored with a 1-5 mark. Scores of three or higher can result in the American colleges and universities awarding credit, exemption from courses, or advanced standing. There is a fee for this exam.


When selecting AP courses, students must carefully consider the extra time commitment to these courses. They are very demanding and may involve extensive homework and self-directed study. AP courses are offered based upon student interest. To enter an AP course, students must meet the requirement of a grade of B in the prerequisite course.

Grades are reported using letter grade system based on the following conversion tables:

Percentage	Letter grade	GPA	AP GPA
100 - 97	A+	4.0	5.0
96 - 93	A	4.0	5.0
92 - 90	A-	3.7	4.7
89 - 87	B+	3.3	4.3
86 - 83	B	3.0	4.0
82 - 80	B-	2.7	3.7
79 - 77	C+	2.3	3.3
76 - 73	C	2.0	3.0
72 - 70	C-	1.7	2.7
69 - 67	D+	1.3	2.3
66 - 63	D	1.0	2.0
62 - 60	D-	1.0	2.0
59 and below	F	0.0	0.0

The letter grade (I) is assigned to the student not completing all the requirements of the course due to extra-ordinary reasons acceptable by the administration. A student must complete the missing requirements within the deadlines set by the administration. If the student fails to complete these requirements within the set deadline, the students may receive an F for the course.

Semester grades are computed as follows: 75% of the semester grade is based on course work, 25% is based on the semester exam results. Forty percent of the final annual grade is based on the first semester grade and 60 percent is based on the second semester grade.

Evaluation of student achievement is based on informal observation and supervision of class work and homework. In addition, formal assessments may include oral recitations, presentations, quizzes, announced tests, projects, reports, and semester examinations.


Students will receive a progress report four times per year (fall midterm, end of first semester, spring midterm and second semester). These reports give the results of the continuous assessment and help diagnose the student's progress. Parents are invited to meet their son’s/daughter’s teachers to find ways to help improve the student’s performance.


The final promotion decision is recorded on the second semester/final report, which is issued in June.

Grades are based on student participation, quizzes, projects, reports, tests, observations, and other forms of assessment.

Students are expected to complete and submit their own work. Occasionally some students will need assistance from parents or classmates, but it is important that all students learn to work independently.

Cheating is unacceptable under any circumstances and will result in progressively more severe consequences. Cheating is defined as participating in any of the following:

• Claiming as your own, work that is the product of another student or another source (plagiarizing).
• Communicating verbally or non-verbally with another student during an exam/test/quiz.
• Being in possession of, or having access to, any unauthorized materials during an exam/test/quiz.
• Enabling another student to claim as his/her own, work that is yours, or the product of another source.
• Looking at another student’s paper during an exam, test, or quiz.
• Found to be in possession of a mobile, regardless if its on or off.

Consequences for cheating are cumulative and will be applied during the course of the student’s academic career at BBS.


First Offence
A mark of “0” on the exam, test, quiz, or project. The Deputy Principal will be provided with written documentation to support the offence. The concerned teacher will make a phone call informing the parents of the occurrence.


Second Offence
A mark of “0” on the exam, test, quiz, or project. The Deputy Principal will be informed and provided with written documentation to support the offence. It will be recommended that a one-day out-of-school suspension be given to the student. A phone call will be made to parents informing them of the suspension and a request will be made for a parental conference with the Deputy Principal.

A five day out-of-school suspension be recommended. A phone call will be made to parents informing them of the suspension and a request will be made for a parental conference with the Director of the school.


Fifth Offence
A mark of “0” on the exam, test, quiz, or project. The Deputy Principal will be informed and provided with written documentation to support the offence. Expulsion from the school will be recommended following School Board review of the case.

Students are required to sit for scheduled tests. In case of an excused absence, the student is required to take a make-up test on the following Thursday morning. All make-up tests must receive prior approval from the Principal. Students who are absent for an announced test without justification or who cut classes prior to the announced test, are not eligible for make-up tests and will receive a zero grade (a pilot program for the 2002-2003 school year).

To be eligible for regular promotion the student must have:

• Met attendance requirements
• Met graduation requirements
• An acceptable behavior record

Students who fail to meet all the promotion requirements may be permitted to repeat their grade level. In the High School a student is not allowed to repeat more than once.

The second sitting policy pertains to students who fail one or two required core courses in the High School. Second sitting takes place before the students begin school in August/September. Students who fail in one required core course or more in the second sitting will be retained in their current grade. No student can be retained more than once.

During the summer period, the student will have to find a summer program, tutor or individual course to prepare for the second sitting. If the student decides to take a summer course for credit to replace the course he/she failed, he/she needs prior approval of the course from the School Counselor and Principal. Depending on the results of the summer course, the School Administration will decide on the situation of the student.

1. Students who fail the second sitting in one of the required core courses will be retained in the current grade.
2. Any student failing three or more courses will be automatically retained in their current grade without the re-sit exam option.
3. A student who fails a math or science course a second time will automatically come under the re-sit or second sitting policy. Failing either of these re-sit exams, in math or science, will result in automatic retention in their current grade.
4. Students who fail the first semester of the course will continue in the course. Should they complete the second semester successfully, they will be given full credit for the course. Students failing in the first semester will be placed on an academic probation contract with specific and individualized requirements and timelines by the Counseling Office and the Administration. If the student fails the second semester, the student will have to take a re-sit examination. The policy for second sitting goes into effect.
5. Students who fail a non-required core course or elective may choose to take the second sitting or accept the “F” grade, as long as they do not need the credit for graduation.
6. All re-sit examination grades replace the final examination grade to determine the second semester final grade. The first semester final grade is averaged with the second semester final grade to determine the year average grade.
7. If a student fails the course due to a failing final exam grade, the student will come under the second sitting policy.
8. If a student fails the course due to failing the course work, then the School Administration will decide whether the student will take the re-sit examination or complete for credit an approved and accredited summer school program.
9. If a student fails Arabic or Islam Religion, or both, because of coursework or the final exam, the student will come under the second sitting policy only; summer course work for credit is not an option.
10. The administration and Counseling Office will hold a meeting with the families and students who have failed a required core course or elective course, prior to the end of the school year, to determine a contractual plan for the student and the family over the summer months to fulfill their academic responsibilities.

On the School’s part, for any student who fails a core course or elective for the first semester, the School will put into place a follow-up procedure to assist these at-risk students. The Counseling Office will initiate the procedures with the assistance of the subject teachers. After the at-risk students have been identified, the parents will be contacted to explain the procedure to them. The subject teachers will offer after school and before school extra help for the at-risk students. Subject teachers will continue to be in regular contact with parents of at-risk students to solidify the home-school connection for the at-risk students. Regular meetings will also be held with the at-risk students to gain their cooperation in their part of the procedure.

BBS will not participate in any way with finding tutors for students unless the counseling department identifies a student as being at risk. Only the counseling office can recommend additional assistance. Such recommendations cannot come from a teacher.

Regular and demanding homework is essential for academic achievement. Parents should regularly check with their children to make sure that homework assignments are being completed and that students have a quiet and suitable spot at home in which to study. Homework will be assigned in all classes during the course of a week, typically requiring 150-180 minutes daily Saturday through Wednesday. Weekend assignments may be given. With the exception of long-term projects, there is no homework during holidays that are more than three days.

Minor courses are offered to all High School students. The purpose is to provide students with opportunities to experience several fields of study not required for graduation. These courses are an important part of the High School program. Offerings depend on teacher specialties, funding, and appropriate facilities and equipment. Students are evaluated and assessed based upon student participation, achievement and tests. A one-semester minor course is 0.25 credit, and a one-year minor course is 0.5 credit.
