Capital School is looking to appoint a Secondary Huminites Teacher to start in August 2025.

The Capital School Bahrain is based on a classic British School set-up that offers a classroom structure with key stages of development. We teach the British National Curriculum including Early Years' Foundation Stage, whilst adhering to the requirements of the Bahrain Ministry of Education for Arabic, Islamic, and Social Studies. We create a positive & nurturing atmosphere to provide an excellent educational experience for our pupils.

Our teaching and learning approaches reflect only the very best of British educational practice and are contained within a modern learning environment which is both stimulating and purposeful. We aim to reinforce family values and customs at all times which in turn creates an atmosphere of warmth and care, because we believe that a happy child is one who learns more effectively. Our notion of team spirit and co-operation is reinforced through our school house system of Buckingham, Windsor, Kensington, and Westminster.

We moved to the new site in summer 2022, which organized the school into nursery, primary, and senior schools in separate buildings to accommodate all our pupils in the most effective learning environments. For the right applicant, there will be opportunities to rapidly progress into middle and senior leadership roles.

We are a BSO (British School Overseas) and BSME school, meaning that we take newly qualified and early career teachers from the UK to support them through their teaching career. This role will involve mentoring staff through their teaching experience.
