1. Native English Teachers Required in Riffa, Bahrain.

Naseem International School was established in December 1981 to answer a pressing demand for a good bilingual school to cater Bahraini and other Arab children.

Enrollment grew steadily to reach 100 students in the following year and 130 in 1985-86. Enrollment had to be frozen temporarily due to lack of space and we have grown considerably since then. We are always happy to hear from prospective teachers.
