About Program
If you are a teacher looking for an opportunity to work in Bahrain, you can expect to experience this remarkable small country while earning a competitive salary and enjoying an attractive benefits package.
Bahrain has a significant population of expatriates, which has resulted in the establishment of numerous international schools and universities. Even though Arabic is the official language, English is prevalent, and there is a high demand for English teachers.
Teaching vacancies in Bahrain are available throughout the year, with the academic year starting in September and ending in early summer, much like North American schools.
