Welcome to Kuwait American School. At Kuwait American School, we hold a high vision for our students. We pledge to educate KAS students by the highest US and international academic standards. In addition to high academic standards, we also help students apply what they have learned with goodness and reason to uphold their inherent values, family honor, and serve others. Our school culture is based on Living Values Education so that not only are students treated with respect, care, and dignity, but they learn about values affectively and cognitively to help create the change in the world we all wish to see.
KAS is one of the premier schools in Kuwait with a rich tradition of excellence. Since its inception, Kuwait American School has consistently provided educational excellence to its diverse student populace. Our greatest assets have been our educators, whose commitment and dedication to KAS are evident in the value our parents and students hold for them.
The Kuwait American School is a values-based school committed to delivering international education to the highest academic standards. We seek to educate the whole person towards the highest level of human consciousness in a learning environment of intercultural understanding and respect. Our mission is to serve our one-world community by empowering valuable members of society.
We believe all children are gifted. Our foundation for all learning is LVRUS – Love, Valuing each person, Respect, Understanding, and Safety. We believe that character development is especially important to support academic success. We create a positive environment where the diversity of the student body and staff creates interest and respect for different cultures, ideas, beliefs, and backgrounds. We provide a challenging and creative academic environment where learning is a never-ending pursuit. We strive to develop independent and creative thinking and expect our students to be able to question, analyze and evaluate. We are dedicated to student intellectual achievement and holistic learning emphasizing the social awareness, mindfulness, and spiritual integrity that are central to an appreciation of applying our natural talents, living our values, and learning for life.
The School will attract, develop and retain a faculty that would be considered among the very best on a national basis and that have the character and commitment to positively influence students in a manner consistent with the KAS mission.
The School will foster a community that respects, supports, and celebrates the unique talents and characteristics of each student. The School will preserve the tradition of excellence in preparing students for college and life while providing a comprehensive breadth of learning opportunities and experiences. The School will raise an understanding within human consciousness to advance and cultivate the modeling and living of universal values and etiquette.
The School will provide facilities that complement and enhance the overall educational experience while preserving the unique character of the campus. The School will develop and manage the financial resources that enable KAS to provide an optimal teaching and learning environment.
