APG strives to plan and meet the increasing demand to the school. The facilities and enrollment expansion is in accordance with the school's guiding statements. The school community is keen on providing high-quality education to a wide range of children in Bahrain and preparing them to be global-minded citizens.

Financial planning in the school is in accordance with the strategic plan. The school leadership teams frequently articulate the CIS standards and action items in the documents lean on the CIS domains. The financial plans of the school are prepared with the objective of ensuring efficient operation and meeting financial obligations for the continuity of the school.

Board members found creative ways to benefit from government funds such as lease loans, wage subsidies, and training stipends. The school has a long term loan for funding the physical expansion in order to comply with the Ministry of Education requirement to separate the early childhood facilities and expand for other halls. The location is not owned by the school but leased from the government. The government modified the lease policy in 2019 and enabled to state a "right of use" under assets which had a positive effect on the financial documents of the school.

The school has been serving education in Bahrain for 25 years. The head of the board demonstrates a keen effort for the continuous financial stability of the school and a willingness to provide funds when necessary. It is observed by the visiting team members that he strives to ensure continuous school improvement by providing finances as well as training his own children in the field of education so that they will be proficient in education management.
