At the British Council in Bahrain, we work to build relationships between people and institutions in the UK and the Kingdom of Bahrain through programmes and events in the areas of Education, English, Arts and Society.  Much of what we do in Bahrain has an international dimension involving countries in Middle East and North Africa.

The British Council’s first office in Bahrain was established in 1941. As a world leader in teaching English, we have  taught many thousands of students in Bahrain at our language centre. In addition to teaching English, we also support collaboration in other areas and work closely with local institutions. We work closely with the Ministry of Education on teacher development and on a reading programme for children. Over 30,000 people in Bahrain use our on-line resources for independent learning of English each year.

Our teaching methodology encourages creativity in language use, promotes learner independence and develops confidence so students are better equipped for their next steps in English.

Our goal is to give all learners a positive, enjoyable, challenging and successful experience of studying English.
