Our Experience

  • In our experience, St Chris' students are very 'worldly' - kids trying to show how grown up they are - and BSB students aren't. We've found St Chris students to be very snooty and arrogant, it has a reputation of being the 'cool school' in Bahrain. If swearing, smoking and sex talk is 'cool' now, then it is. St Chris may say it is the best, but just because they say it, doesn't make it so. I've yet to see any 'Top Ten Best' list with St Chris' in it.
    I'm a parent of 6 children, our oldest attended a typical UK comp, St Chris is no better than the schools they went to. And you are paying for this.
    We've found BSB, to be the better school for our children. Our son went to St Chris for 6 weeks and it was the worst experience of his life. He's much happier at BSB and his grades have improved dramatically, even in his worst subject.
    I just hope it stays as good when they move to the new school site in September when the number of classes in each year doubles. The junior school have managed this, so maybes the senior school will too.
