Welcome to St Christopher’s Senior School. Our students come from a wide range of cultures and nationalities, reflecting Bahrain’s cosmopolitan society; they form a delightful open, friendly and talented student body.
The Senior School provides students with a genuinely welcoming start to secondary education. The special atmosphere and style of the Senior School is difficult to define but is ever-present: academic certainly, but thoughtful and sensitive; competitive but good-humoured; capable of inspiring passion and skill in the arts; with a certain independence of spirit but set in a strong sense of community.
Our vision is for our students to be young people who have a strong set of values, who are well prepared to move to the next stage of their education and who will make a difference to the world in which they live.
Academically, our students attain very high standards at all ages. However, success is measured not only in academic achievement, but also in terms of growth in maturity, the development of social awareness, self-discipline and motivation, and a respect for the individual.
We offer an extensive extra-curricular programme in which we encourage all students to participate, with a large number of overseas trips on offer. The school promotes an environment in which it is considered natural to help and support others within the school, and to give service to the wider community, both locally and internationally in keeping with our mission “Education for a Shared Humanity”; this permeates life at St Chris.
The school is proud of its caring ethos, with a wide range of staff involved in the pastoral care and guidance of students. We enjoy an excellent record of helping young people from very different backgrounds adjust to life at St Chris and Bahrain
The special atmosphere of the Senior School is not easy to describe – my advice to you is to visit us and experience it for yourself. We are very proud of our school and will be delighted to show you around.
