That is correct the Aramco schools on camp only go to grade 9 so the options for 10 -12th grade is boarding school abroad or stateside (Bahrain also has an international high school) or Dhahran High School. Dhahran High School is not located on the Aramco camp as it is an International school that is used by the Embassy families and other companies. Aramco provides a bus for the students to the Dhahran High School it's about a 45 min bus ride. If they child goes to Bahrain, Aramco provides funds or transportation(not sure exactly) to transport them home every so often or it's about 1-1/2 to 2 hour drive. If the child goes stateside or abroad, then funds are provide to return the child to KSA 3 times a year for a visit.
Hope this helps.

That's definitely a matter of personal opinion. Some people prefer to send their kids to Bahrain, others send them to the Dhahran High School - it all depends what your criteria are.

Both have an IB program; DHS also has AP classes; Both are college preparatory high schools.
