Kuwait English School is the learning home of a very special community of students (ages 3 – 19 years), parents, educationalists, administrators and management. We all share the common aim, to ensure that each student in our care accesses the most valuable, fulfilling and enjoyable learning experiences at each stage of his/her school life. As students mature and recognise that they have special talents and skills, principally nurtured by the school’s excellent teaching staff, there are many opportunities for students to contribute to the quality of school life and take upon additional responsibilities.

The school naturally divides into four main areas each one supervised and continuously overseen and developed by four Head Teachers who, along with their staff teams, care deeply about education and the quality of life from which the pupils benefit both in and out of school.

The facilities provided by the School ensure that a stimulating and safe learning environment is available and appropriate to the age and educational needs of each child

The Preparatory Department, housed in its own building, was recently upgraded to ensure that each young child had access to diverse learning-through play experience – both indoor and outdoor.

In the main School building, a separate area is reserved for the younger children (KS 1) where they can safely play outdoors and benefit from their classroom learning experiences.

Students from 3 years upwards make use of specialist science labs, drama studios, newly revamped ICT suites, libraries, an indoor gym area and an indoor swimming pool. Senior students taking ‘A’ level courses (Years 12 & 13) have a dedicated Sixth Form Centre “The Millennium” and enjoy their own common room.

In addition to the facilities of the main School building, there is a specialist Music Centre and an excellent, well equipped Art & Design Technology Centre.

The School also provides, in a separate building, a well resourced and stimulating learning centre for students with learning disabilities (The Green Unit). A number of these students take some lessons in the main School building – interaction is much encouraged.

Kuwait English School usually advertises for vacancies in January for the forthcoming September. However, opportunities sometimes come available.
