St Christopher's School is a British international school located in Isa Town, Bahrain (senior campus) and Sar, Bahrain (infant and junior campuses), offering British curriculum education. It offers primary to secondary education ranging from reception to Sixth form. Students sit GCSE and A-level examinations.

In 2006, the Guardian newspaper listed St. Christopher's amongst the top eight best international schools offering a British curriculum around the world.

In December 2013, Queen Elizabeth II awarded the school's long term principal, Ed Goodwin, with an OBE for his contribution to British education in the Middle East.

Since 2021, St. Christopher's has been included in The Schools Index as one of the 150 best international schools in the world and among top 15 schools in the Middle East.

The school that regularly hosts social events are regarded as one of the most reputable in the Gulf region.

A new school building for the senior students is set to be constructed.
