Britus Education, a unit of Bahrain-based GFH Financial Group, has acquired the management and operations rights to Athena Private School for Special Education, which it will later rebrand to Britus International School – Special Education.
The rebranding, which has been approved by the Ministry of Education, aligns with Britus’efforts to unify and transform its growing network of schools owned and managed across the GCC and North Africa, said a statement from Britus Education.
Britus, a K-12 education platform, already operates seven private schools in the region under its own brand. These include four in Saudi Arabia (Al-Olaya, Al-Murabaa, Al- Rowda and Al- Fayhaa) and recently rebranded schools in Bahrain (AMA International School), Dubai (Sheffield Private School) and Tunis (British International School in Tunis).
As part of the Britus Education platform, students at Britus International School – Special Education who progress to the necessary level can also seamlessly be enrolled and transition into the mainstream Britus school network.

The school is a leading special education provider in Bahrain. Established in 2019, it serves students age K-16+, catering to a broad range of special needs.
These include general learning difficulties, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Communication Disorders, Physical Disabilities, Specific Learning Disabilities (such as Dyslexia), Down Syndrome and other genetic or chromosomal disorders and those with neuro developmental disorders such as ADHD, ODD, OCD and ADD.
On the acquisition, Fatema Kamal, Acting CEO of Britus Education, said: "We’re delighted to add a leading special education school to our portfolio of schools in order to meet a key need in our community. We will work with special needs students that develop acceptable skill levels with the objective to blend them into mainstream education."
"The conversion of the school to our Britus brand also comes in line with our strategy and focus on building a powerful, home-grown regional education network," stated Kamal.
"With its unique place in the community, serving a broad cross section of students with special needs, we are especially proud of the work of the school and will continue to invest in further enhancing its offering and effectively serving and supporting our special needs students and their families," she added
