In a historic first for the Kingdom of Bahrain, Beacon Private School has announced a partnership with the internationally renowned SEK Education Group to manage the school. This collaboration is expected to significantly enhance the education sector in the Kingdom and elevate educational outcomes to an international level.
The agreement, which took place at the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB) headquarters, was attended by His Excellency the Spanish Ambassador to the Kingdom of Bahrain and Kuwait, Mr. Miguel Jose Moro Aguilar. SEK Education Group is a world-class institution specializing in the development of learning and educational systems for school management.
This partnership was welcomed and supported by the Spanish Ambassador as a crucial opportunity for bilateral educational cooperation between the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Kingdom of Spain. It underscores the commitment of both entities to provide families in Bahrain with an exceptional, innovative, and multilingual international school. Bahrain EDB played a critical role in facilitating this agreement, as part of its ongoing efforts to boost investment, diversify the economy, attract direct investments, and create high-quality opportunities in the Kingdom.
Beacon Private School plans to further develop its facilities by inaugurating a state-of-the-art multi-purpose hall and gym next year, complete with two swimming pools, sports facilities, a theater, and a spacious cafeteria, cementing its status as a premier educational institution in the Kingdom of Bahrain and the region.
SEK’s extensive experience, spanning over 130 years in educational consulting, leadership, innovation, and management, will prove invaluable to Beacon Private School. SEK also manages a network of schools worldwide, serving more than 7,000 students from over 80 nationalities.
Director General for Innovation and Strategy of SEK Education Group, Mr. Alejandro Delso, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “SEK Education Group is extraordinarily proud to collaborate with Beacon Private School in the Kingdom of Bahrain, joining efforts as we look forward to a successful relationship. This is an exciting challenge that we embrace with enthusiasm, respect, and responsibility, and in which we hope to work closely with all our community members to create the vibrant learning environment our students deserve.”
One of SEK’s distinguishing features is its accreditation of the International Baccalaureate (IB) system, a globally recognized and esteemed study program that aims to provide high-quality international education. Research has shown that IB graduates demonstrate superior academic performance and complete their university education more quickly than their peers. Through this partnership, Beacon Private School students will also benefit from SEK’s connections to some of Spain’s most prestigious sports academies.
Ms. Mashael Isa Fairooz, Founder Partner of JEO Capital Management, shared her excitement about the partnership: “We are pleased to announce the signing of the agreement with the internationally prestigious SEK Education Group to manage Beacon Private School. We look forward to working with SEK based on our belief in the experience it has in managing educational institutions in various countries around the world.” She added, “Through this agreement, we seek to provide an ideal educational model in the Kingdom, and to launch educational programs and outputs to world-leading levels, which contribute to the advancement of Bahraini cadres and enhance the quality of education, and support the Kingdom’s tendencies to achieve advanced levels globally in various fields, foremost of which is the education sector.”
