English Playgroup School Kuwait

[EduCativ]

Established in 1975, The English Playgroup EPG is a family-owned Kuwaiti Educational Company, providing quality education to 8,000 children aged from 9 months to 11 years in Kuwait.
EPG today is positioned as the market leader in the Early Years sector with 29 locations, alongside 2 Primary School Campuses in Salwa and Salmiya.
At EPG we aspire to provide all our students with a stimulating, creative and welcoming environment in which all children have an opportunity to learn, thrive, and become a future global citizens.
The Curriculum in our schools is the British National Curriculum Early Years Foundation Stage in Early Years and the National Curriculum for England in Primary Schools. Both EPG Primary Schools are proud members of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) since 2016.
Our Leadership and Teaching teams are highly qualified and experienced professionals that have an in-depth knowledge of child development, and through continuing education, keep up to date with current research and teaching practices.
Over the years, EPG has ensured that our Schools have the best resources available for their students. In addition, EPG has developed its books and curriculum resources to further support students on their learning pathway.
At EPG, the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is a play-based adapted curriculum for children from 9 months to 5.5 years. This allows children to explore and learn in an environment that is secure and safe, yet challenging. We understand that this period in a child's life is an important developmental stage when they discover themselves and the world around them. Leadership and teaching teams in branches are dedicated and passionate professionals who embody all the values we teach children.
Our Primary Schools are creative, dynamic places of learning where children aged 5 to 11 can hone the skills that they will need to be equipped for a lifetime of learning. Our curriculum is delivered by a diverse group of qualified teachers and our school leaders have all been selected for the experience and qualifications that they bring to our schools. We are proud of our Kuwaiti heritage as well as our international character and aspire to mold the attitudes in our children that will shape the future of this unique nation. EPG has been an accredited member of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) since 2016.
Due to the expansion of our Primary School in Salwa to include year 5 classes next year, we have decided to establish separate boys and girls sections from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 next year. This means that boys and girls from years 1 to 5 will be taught in separate classes. We believe that this change will directly benefit the education of both boys and girls in school.
At The English Playgroup, you will find a stimulating and successful program of learning, playing, and care, taught by the very best trained English specialist teachers.
Within the schools, there is a strong belief in children receiving a challenging and inspirational education and in developing their talents and personalities in preparation for their future education. Our bilingual program teaches fluency in English and Arabic through a well-structured, thematic approach to learning.
At our schools, we use the English National Curriculum to deliver the best of Early Years and Primary Education. Over the years, we have developed our books and curriculum resources that match our student’s abilities and help them progress solidly through the Foundation, KS 1, and KS 2 levels. Arabic is taught in line with the Kuwait Ministry of Education guidelines. Class sizes are kept small at our schools to ensure each child receives the attention and care they deserve and all our staff is experienced professional teachers with high standards of achievement.
