History
[edit]The Kuwait English School was established in 1978 by Jassim Al Saddah, who acted as the chairman of the school, alongside Rhoda Elizabeth Muhmood, as the school's director until 2022.[1] The school was originally a villa until 1984 where they established a "proper" school facility.
In 1991, the school opened the Green Unit, a program catering toward students with learning disabilities. Shortly after the liberation of Kuwait, the school was visited by Anne, Princess Royal.[citation needed] Shortly after, in 1997, the school opened a specialised learning centre known as the "Millennium Centre". This centre was opened by then-Under-Secretary of State for the Ministry of Higher Education Rasha Al Sabah.[citation needed]
Sports
[edit]The Kuwait English School has an after-school sports program under the BSME Games conference. Students may join teams divided by the junior and senior programs, including football, basketball, volleyball, unihoc, netball, benchball, cricket, and swimming.[2][3]
