Schooling in Riffa
Riffa, Bahrain's second-largest city by area, lies in the Southern Governorate and is made up of East, West and North Riffa. Its private schools are licensed by the Ministry of Education and inspected by the Education & Training Quality Authority (BQA). The Ministry's Educational Institutions Finder lists 22 private school entries in the Southern Governorate, which also covers Isa Town.
Riffa has one of the strongest clusters of IB and American schools in the country. The American School of Bahrain and Riffa Views International School are both IB World Schools, and Hawar International School, Naseem International School and Shaikha Hessa Girls' School also offer the IB Diploma. The American School of Bahrain, in North Riffa, offers students a choice between a US high school diploma and the IB Diploma.
The city also has British and community schools, including the Palms School, Talent International & The Infant School, the International School of Creative Science and the Indian School's Riffa campus. With Isa Town next door, many Riffa families weigh schools in both towns.
