Hi everyone,

We have received an offer for family status and as housing on the compounds seems to be tight at the moment we are considering living in separate housing either in Khobar or even Bahrain. Does anyone know if the family benefits such as schooling and in particular boarding in home country would still be available to us?

Thanks for your help.

If Aramco offers you housing allowance, then your kids I think do get EAP assistance. If you decide to do this on your own. I don't know, maybe someone else knows.

If you live off camp, your kids are not allowed to attend Aramco schools.

If your kids are old enough to be eligible for boarding school, your relocation agent should be able to get you the information about any EAP assistance you would be eligible for.

If your kids are not old enough to be eligible yet for EAP, then it is not discussed during hiring.
