School recommendations

Hello all,
just found out we might be moving to Bahrain in January and I need to find a school for my two boys, one in primary and one in secondary. I understand St Chris and the British schools are good schools but can you recommend any other? Curriculum is not too important as my boys have attended both IB and English curriculum schools in the past. And location...well we don't know where we will live yet so we are flexible.;) Preference is native English speaking teachers and a mix of international students. Thanks!

Those two are the best bets. One other option is riffa views International. It is by far the most expensive of the three. Personally I prefer this one as class size is much smaller than the other two. But again it comes down to where you will live.

RVIS is marked as outstanding in the recent ratings by the ministry of education and I believe the other two (or maybe one of them) are as well. Check that site for the rankings.
