Hi all! We are a british family moving to Bahrain in the summer and are just about to apply for schools. Would anyone be able to give me an idea of how difficult the entry exams are for the two main schools? Is there a high fail rate? I'm sure my kids will be fine but it's all a bit unnerving! Many thanks in advance.

As far as I know, if your kids are at a normal learning and development level, there should be no issue. The exams are not very tough if you link it to the level. It's tougher for people whose native tongue is not English.

Thank you for your reply. That sounds as I hoped but I'd heard a few worrying comments Bout how tough they were! Thanks again!
