School places dilemma hots up in Bahrain

september 26 - October 2

Dear Betsy,
I read in last week’s GulfWeekly about Gabriela’s difficulty in finding a school for her son.
I cannot guarantee to find him a place but at the British Council we endeavour to have the latest information about English language medium private schools in Bahrain. At this time of year we receive a number of similar enquiries and we work very hard to help people in such a position.  Very often the difficulty is that someone new to Bahrain does not know all the options available.
Please ask Gabriela to contact me so we can arrange a meeting where I can talk to her and her son to see if there are any possible opportunities that they have not yet explored.
Best wishes,
Diane Lindsay
Examinations Services Manager
British Council, PO Box 452, 146 Shaikh Salman Highway
Manama 356, Kingdom of Bahrain

‘I don’t think that table manners are passé. Since everyone is in plain sight of everyone else, it’s pretty obvious if you slurp your soup or hoard the bread basket. Does anyone enjoy being at a table with a loud mouth or messy eater?”          – Kate Spade
