Hi everybody 
Could you tell us about the different schooling possibilities in Manama?
Are there nurseries in Manama (national/international)?
Which national schools are established in Manama (primary, secondary, high school, universities)?
Which international schools are available (primary, secondary, high school, universities)?
Thanks a bunch for your participation

SNR,
Unfortunately we as expates are not able to send our kids to the national public schools.
I'm sending my kids to St Christophers (from K to 12) which is widely speculated as one of the highest rated schools in the world.. Whilst other schools offer great educational opportunities and definately are competetive in terms of education / sporting activities etc i would still have my 2 boys at st chris.
nursery schools: Little jems (highly recommand and is an affiliate of st chris), montysaurus (spellin check?!?!) - cant think of anymore currently.
K - 6: St chris junior school, British school and Nadeen. all private and all operate from the british curriculam.
7 - 12: St chris, british school - cant think of anymore.
Uni's: No idea
What i can say is that you need to register ASAP as you may be put on a waiting list for all the above schools mentioned.
Additionally, school fees are extremly high in comparison to that of Australia and NZ.
Anything else let me know.
A
