Singaporean living in Oman, soon will go to Bahrain for new job

Hi All,

Great to know you all.
I just joined this expat community.
I'm a Singapore citizen, have been living in Middle East (Oman) for the past 4 years.
Recently, I got the new job offer from a company in Bahrain and will move there in ~3 months (about Feb 2011).
I plan to move there with my wife and our only son, soon will be 5 years old.

Questions or requests:
1. Beside excited to get in touch locals and expats living in Bahrain, please let me know if there are Singaporean or Indonesian or Malaysian community in Bahrain in this group. I would like to connect with you all.
- Just give me pm, happy to talk with you.

2. I'm looking for school for my son, probably for mid year (September 2021) enrollment, year 1 (5-6 years).
- We are interested to find out more about British School of Bahrain (BSB) and St Christopher's School. Are they good and recommended?
- Or any other school with British Cambridge Curriculum highly recommended here?

3. If we choose BSB, where is the best nearest accommodation area / wilayat should choose that nearby the school? Our preference just to travel between 10-15 mins daily from home to school.
- Is Saar recommended? Do they have nearby daily amenities like shopping mall, supermarkets etc.?
- Same question for St Christopher's.

4. I don't drive and don't have driving license.
- May I know if there is school or private bus service available for school kids 'door to door'?
- How much is the monthly rate for school bus?
- Compared with Oman's taxi which is relatively cheaper although it's more expensive than Dubai, how expensive taxi service here?
I assume they have the taxi apps like Careem, Otaxi, Mwasalat, etc. right?

Thank you for reading my post. Appreciate if you can help me clearing my doubts.

Cheers,
