Bahrain School has earned the College Board’s AP® Computer Science Female Diversity Award for expanding young women’s access to AP Computer Science Principles (CSP) and achieving high female representation in AP Computer Science.
The award acknowledges schools for their work toward equal gender representation during the school year.
Bahrain School is one of only 760 schools across the world to be awarded for achieving this important result in AP CSP.
The honor recognizes the outstanding work the school is doing to engage more female students in computer science.
Research shows that female students who take #APCSP in high school are more than five times as likely to major in computer science in college.
Providing female students with access to computer science courses is critical to ensuring gender parity in the industry’s high-paying jobs and to driving innovation, creativity, and representation.
