Message from the Principal.
Welcome and thank you for showing interest in our wonderful school.
Our school was opened in 2003 with the second in the following year, in Hawally. Our Mission is "Students achieving their full potential as active thinkers and self-motivated, life-long learners within a supportive environment". We strongly believe that a supportive environment is important and we work to develop strong links with parents to ensure home and school work in tandem to support the students.
We operate within the private education sector here in Kuwait and currently have approximately 700 students whose ages range from 4 to 17 years old. The school is divided into two distinct sections - Early Years plus Primary, and Secondary, with a dedicated Head and Leadership team for each. We follow a modified National Curriculum of England, leading up to IGCSE and AS Level courses, along with Arabic and Islamic lessons delivered by specialists. We are continually developing the strength of our teaching and learning programmes and this is supported by quality, regular, in-house CPD.
Our students come from all over the region and include Egyptian, Kuwaiti, Lebanese, Syrian, Iranian, Jordanian and many more. They are hardworking, enthusiastic and keen to learn and in return we aim to give them the very best education we can through increasingly well resourced, engaging, interactive, well planned and challenging learning experiences.
Working overseas presents many fantastic opportunities and benefits for staff, and we offer a highly skilled and experienced support network of staff to ensure that those who join us quickly feel like part of our family.
