Bahrain School is an international school located in Juffair, Bahrain following the American curriculum. The school is operated by the Bahrain International School Association (BISA) with the United States Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) and takes students from Kindergarten to Twelfth grade. It is the only DoDEA school in the Gulf. The closest DoDEA school to Bahrain School is George C. Marshall School in Ankara, Turkey. It provides education to the children of the United States Military found in Bahrain as well as non-members of the US Military. This, however, has declined since the beginning of the Iraq War.
