The English Academy

[EduCativ]

Welcome to The English Academy. Since its foundation in 1993, The English Academy has continually and successfully striven to provide a British education to both the local and international community in Kuwait.
At TEA we enjoy the luxury of spacious classrooms allowing teachers to provide for your children’s needs in a safe and secure learning environment. We aim to deliver a curriculum that is respected throughout the world whilst providing students with numerous opportunities to gain experiences and responsibilities that will prepare them for life beyond school.
We teach the National Curriculum of England and Wales, adapted as appropriate to our student's needs and experience. In the primary department, National Curriculum Literacy and Numeracy strategies are adopted and levels are used to support our assessment policies through all Key Stages. Furthermore, Year 10 and 11 students study for examinations in IGCSE and GCSE and on completion may enter the sixth form to study AS and A Levels respectively.
TEA aims to provide a learning experience that will enable us to help students reach their potential academically, socially, and physically. In modern society change is perhaps one of the few certainties there is and, with this in mind, we aim to prepare our students for a life in a rapidly changing and increasingly competitive society. Young people at TEA are encouraged to become leaders within their community. The school stresses the importance of integrity, respect for others, and the right of every child to a learning environment absent of hindrance and disturbance. Students are encouraged to become independent learners while an emphasis is placed on the importance of local traditions and values the vision adopted at TEA is a globally connected one with a great deal of local relevance.
The Vision of The English Academy is to be considered an outstanding school by SY 2018/19. This will be gauged through both the BSO accreditation standards and other generally accepted international education benchmarks.
The Mission of The English Academy is to provide a learning experience that will encourage students to be successful learners, confident individuals, and responsible citizens with a global perspective.
Successful students who enjoy learning. They will develop an understanding of their potential and a desire to achieve it. The curriculum will encourage them to become independent thinkers and decision-makers who are creative and critical. Confident students who can live a safe, healthy, fulfilling life and develop high self-esteem while respecting others. Responsible students who make a positive contribution to society. They will be encouraged to have respect and consideration for other people and the environment in which they live. Global students who value and appreciate their culture, religion, and language while taking full advantage of a diverse international education.
The English Academy was opened in September 1993. Final approval was not received until April of that year, and much hard work was required to have the building ready for the 18th of September. An Arabic Private School that had not been used for three years was rented and work began. In the space of three short, hot months repairs were carried out, walls painted, wiring replaced, plumbing repaired, windows mended, furniture bought, staff recruited, books ordered, flowers planted and the English Academy was born awaiting only the arrival of the pupils.
