Awali School was a primary school in Awali, Bahrain. The school was started by employees of the Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO) for their children living in Awali. Eventually, an arrangement was made to allow a certain number of children of non-Bapco employees to attend the school for an academic fee.
The school offered British primary curriculum education from reception to Sixth form. The history and geography of Bahrain were also included in the curriculum, with the addition of Arabic language for Arab students and Islamic Studies for students practicing the faith.
