Looking for information about these schools.
And in particular the administration.
I`ve had problems with administration in the past and want to be careful.
Thanks!

DBGS is part of the International Schools Group (ISG) and is very reputable. They share a campus with the American School also run by ISG right next to the American Consulate in Dhahran, which is a short distance from Bahrain and some relative normalcy, despite the problems Bahrain is having. I have people I know working there and they like it. Compound for teachers is nice and there is an active social life.
Modern Knowledge in Jeddah is teaching all non-expat kids. It will be run by Saudis, or by Arabs who answer to a Saudi owner who may or may not be enlightened, and who may or may only be interested in maximizing profit. If I had a choice, I would go for DBGS in a moment!
