“Choosing the road of Education is a difficult one but also a wonderful one. “While engaged in our scholastic pursuit towards excellence in all academic areas we recognize all the moral values in building Humanity and engage ourselves to act upon issues threatening our Human Family and hence our Earth Home.” All students at Kuwait National English School are members of an international community. They get to know each other and learn to respect each other. We aim to build their personalities, to broaden their minds, to increase their knowledge in all academic subjects, to prepare them, while they develop their knowledge, to be ready to tackle different issues: human, social, cultural and scientific, and environmental. In other words, we prepare our students to be fully responsible, develop intercultural understanding, and be internationally minded. We aim to develop their intellectual and cognitive skills as well as physical, social, and artistic skills but, we aim also to prepare our students to be fully responsible citizens, conscious not only of their rights but also of their duties as being part of the “Human Family” and to take care of our “Earth Home”. We aim to build a community, gathering people from different cultural backgrounds in which everyone recognizes our common humanity and destiny. Our students learn and understand that we are living in a fragile limited, interdependent world and which is in constant evolution. Students, who come to KNES, often go somewhere else to continue, their studies according to the activities of their parents. We have to take this factor into account for their further adaptation to be easier. In brief, we consider the following points as part of our mandate. To develop the respect of the fundamental values such as truth, trust, integrity, justice, respect for others, and respect for their well-being. To develop in each student verbal and written skills. Within the limits of the syllabus and the resources of the school, we try to develop the student’s intellectual, physical, and social abilities. To promote in each student a spirit of inquiry, analysis, and a sense of criticism so that, within the conflicting ideologies of our modern world and the plethora of information, they succeed in making up their own opinion. To try to give enthusiasm to students to study and to let them learn by themselves (to learn how to learn). To train students in experimental methods and observation: to look for information (facts), to investigate, and to explain. To make sure that body and mind are one, (a healthy mind works only with a healthy body). To make sure each student is aware of the fragility of our environment and practice responsible conservation. To instill in each student a sense of loyalty to his/her peers and the school. To educate students on the importance of social contribution, to prepare them to be useful members of the Global Community. In all activities, to encourage respect for the diversity of cultures within the school and the world in general, in a word to promote the spirit of tolerance and to promote the necessary spirit for co-operation in general, and peace. Kuwait National English School is a private co-educational non-profit making organization, offering classes from Charlotte Pre-School, KG up to the entrance to university with IGCSE, GCSE, GCE, and IAS, and IAL. Kuwait National English School follows the New National Curriculum from the UK and is an approved Centre of Examination since 1996 from the UK.

The very great Thomas Carlyle said, "Nothing builds self-confidence and self-esteem like accomplishments". In the next stage of our journey, i.e. the next five to ten years, we shall endeavor to build a strong management team, implement cutting-edge curriculum resources, and above all strive to emphasize passion towards the quality of our students’ learning experience. In our team, we shall endeavor to recruit exceptionally trained teachers who are highly qualified, knowledgeable, and experienced in differentiated teaching practice.

The English School for Girls follows the National Curriculum for England and Wales, commonly referred to as the British Curriculum. This is supplemented by lessons in the Arabic Language for all students and Islamic Studies for Islamic students. Through this curriculum, we aim to have all students make the most of their academic opportunities. Tests and IGCSE examinations are all externally set in Great Britain and students around the world all sit them on the same day. Tests are conducted in Literacy and Numeracy for Key Stages 1 and 2 and in English, Mathematics, and Science for Key Stage 3. They are internally marked by International Schools but there are very detailed and strict marking schemes issued by the examining board. Students are graded according to the National Curriculum level they achieve and these are reported to parents by the school as levels. In Years 10 and 11 students will take a range of subjects for IGCSE. These exams are externally marked and are graded on an A to G scale. Students who achieve 5 or more A to C passes are eligible to move to the next phase of their education. At ESG we will provide support in a caring, organized, and disciplined manner, encouraging each student to reach their full potential. Every child will have an equal opportunity to learn. We aim to promote amongst our students, the understanding and tolerance of any differences in ability, race, or culture. This we will achieve through a common code of moral conduct in which Islamic values are adhered to and respected. We will demonstrate, through a balanced curriculum that the academic, social, moral, personal and physical development of each student is of equal importance. Our curriculum and school philosophy aim to encourage full participation by all students. View full school

British-based education offers its students a strong academic grounding but also provides a broad extra-curricular program. The aim is to develop abilities and personalities to enable the graduates of the school to be able to enter and compete in the best universities in the world and, for half a century, this is what the school has achieved. What makes this school special is that its alumni, whatever their abilities, have a special ‘stamp’ that distinguishes them and is recognizable many years later, both in the workplace and in life in general. This stamp is achieved through academic excellence, extra-curricular opportunity, and involvement, as well as the distinctive family atmosphere that has been maintained in the school from the very beginning. The New English School, (N.E.S.) was founded by the late chairman, Mr. Tareq S. Rajab, and was the first private, coeducational day school in Kuwait to offer a British-style curriculum from Kindergarten to A level. The chairman comes from a family with a history of pioneering in education and he established the school at a time of change in Kuwait in which he foresaw the need for education with English as the medium of teaching. The first classes of NES opened in a villa in Shamiyah, actually starting at the Secondary level and very soon after extending backward to Kindergarten. It was soon apparent that this educational venture was outgrowing the original premises, so a purpose-built campus was opened in 1974, and to date, improvements and extensions continue to maintain an environment that allows students to thrive. The school serves both the local and international communities, with children from over 70 nationalities and close ties are maintained with the U.K. and with other overseas British and International schools. The New English School has an enviable academic record and is outstanding in the region. The school achieves its mission through a combination of academic and extra-curricular activities. Thus, along with a broad range of academic subjects, the extra-curricular activities program spans diverse areas – drama, music, sports, the arts, crafts, technology as well as formalized programs such as the Model United Nations (M.U.N.), the International Debating Club and the Duke of Edinburgh Award (International Award), the first school in Kuwait to offer this.

A Don Bosco institution is a dynamic and co-educational school serving the needs of students since 2002. One enjoys a friendly, caring, and safe environment where everyone is made welcome. The school was founded by the Salesians of Don Bosco, dedicated to the education of youth. The Salesian’s daily presence in school life enriches the overall development of each student. We consider each child to be a special member of our school community, each of them has something to offer whether it be a friendly smile, sporting abilities, or academic abilities. We value each child for their individual qualities. Every child is proud to proclaim. We now know that we are vulnerable. We now know that the threats of terror are no longer half a world away. We now know things change and not always for the better. We now know that evil exists. So the question is, how can we live triumphantly in a terror-stricken world? And amid all the chaos, we must find a way to stand and to carry on. All of us have problems. But one way or another we learn to overcome the darkness and get along with life. The darkness surrounding us now seems so much more. Men blowing themselves up in a concert hall or going on a rampage shooting people down irrespective of their color, race, or religion. That is darkness of a different dimension. We do not live on a playground. We live on a battlefield. We are soldiers in a great cosmic war between good and evil. The question asked is what shall we do? How will we go on? How do we live triumphantly in this new reality that has come among us? We need to rebuild our faith in God. And hope for the best. Because hope is to the soul what oxygen is to the body-absolutely essential for survival. People of hope, those who believe in God’s tomorrow, can live better today. Those who expect joy to come out of sadness, strength to come from weakness, new life to arise out of the ashes of the old, are the people who discover God to be a present help in times of trouble. ‘We are born for greater things’ and hence our role in this world must go far beyond us simply taking care of ourselves. We cannot live by hate we need to fill our lives with love. Loving people are healthier people, happier people, and more helpful people than those who allow themselves to sink into the deep pits of rage, revenge, and hate. View full school

By the time our students leave our school, we expect them to have a true sense of confidence and self-worth that will empower them to pursue not only personal interests but also goals that would benefit their community and society at large. The language of instruction at school is English. We have dedicated ESOL teachers that provide extra support to students learning English.

Taichung Cornel English School was founded on November 07, 1989. We offer an all-English environment for children to learn English. In 1990, Cornel kindergarten was found to be the first school offering Taiwanese children an all-concepts learning environment. Due to the fast growth of our student numbers, Cornel moved from No. 158, Kuo-Kuang Road to No.35, Nan-Men Road in 1997. The campus includes kindergarten and elementary classrooms, an office area, a computer room, and a library. In Summer 2001, we bought another office building and built a multi-functional room where children learn, exercise, dance, and perform their talents. At present, there are 3 buildings for all the kindergarten, elementary, and middle school students. Our foreign teachers come from English-speaking countries. Most of them are certified elementary or secondary school teachers in their home countries. We believe that great teachers produce brilliant students, and only professional teachers can help children learn English more efficiently within a short period. In 2002, we started our Middle School Program for students who had already graduated from Cornel’s elementary program. Also, we provide an online writing correction service for those who would like to practice writing at home. Cornel spares no efforts and we do our best to provide every student with a quality English education. We expect our students to not only speak English well but also be elegant, well-behaved, and talented. Cornel is a school led by professional educators. Every policy and decision is made for children’s English learning, instead of benefiting the owners. Cornel insists on offering the best teachers and teaching materials to help children learn happily and successfully. Cornel has a mission to help Taiwanese children learn English most efficiently and happily. When my family came back from America to Taiwan in the 1980s, my son, Er-Kang was still in kindergarten and spoke English fluently. we hoped that he continued to speak English well so that he can use the language freely and show the best of himself in his workplace. However, there weren’t any bilingual immersion kindergartens in Taiwan at that time. Although there were some English teaching institutions for children, they did not offer a systematic English learning method. we felt hopeless searching for a perfect school. Later, my American friend, Yve, suggested that we open a school of my own and help children to learn English in my ideal way. Having great ambition for my children, we founded Cornel English School. Society during that time couldn’t understand why an infant child should learn English. Many parents believed that learning English at an early age would cause a deficiency in Chinese and were afraid that it would turn out to be a waste of time and money. View full school

We are a happy and vibrant private co-educational school based in Madrid, offering a tailor-made, holistic education for boys and girls, aged 3 to 18. The English Montessori School is a private co-educational British School in Spain, which caters to the educational needs of students of the Spanish and International communities in Madrid. The school is recognized by both the Spanish Ministry of Education and Culture as a foreign British center and by Great Britain as a British School in Spain. Children from the age of three to eighteen years of age are admitted to a complete and highly successful educational experience. Though the majority of students are Spanish, numerous nationalities are represented in the student population. Traditionally TEMS students rank among the best of the students throughout the Spanish and International schools in Madrid, on external exams taken by those students. Accordingly, all graduates of the senior school go on to higher education. Nurture a caring community, where respect for one another and our environment is tangible. Foster a passion for learning by encouraging exploration and curiosity. Develop positive relationships both locally and globally based on empathy, collaboration, and trust. Encourage independent thinkers who feel confident in making mistakes and learning from them. Build our children’s self-confidence through practical skills to equip them to face a rapidly changing future. TEMS was founded as an infant school in 1973. The first school was located in a small house in Avenida Alfonso XIII in the center of the city. The Montessori philosophy has always remained paramount to Milagros’ approach to education. The school was a pioneer in Spain for this child-centered type of education. The English school of Madrid is one of the pioneers as a charter member of the “National Association of British Schools in Spain” (N.A.B.S.S.).The “English Montessori School” SA is is a proud member of the Cognita global family of schools since 2016. As the children grew and since parents were so pleased with the program the school needed larger facilities. It has moved several times to accommodate this growth and is now permanently located in the residential community of Aravaca (Madrid). This purpose-built school has, recently, added new facilities to accommodate the population growth, enhance the already excellent academic and extra-curricular program and meet the demands of the constantly changing educational needs of today’s students. When they leave us in Year 13, pupils are ready to attend their first-choice university at home or abroad having a high level of skill in three languages as well as a global outlook, encouraged by the ethos of our parent company Cognita which operates over 70 schools around the world. We are always thrilled to hear of their success in the world outside TEMS, as many of our alumni are now successful across a range of fields and their careers take them around the globe using their English-speaking prowess to excellent effect. Others stay closer, either in Madrid or across Spain, and return with their children full of stories about the influence TEMS has had on them. They speak of how happy they were as pupils and that sense of happiness continues to be tangible in the classrooms and playgrounds of TEMS as it is today. The future is changing, even as we write, and we believe we prepare our children extremely well here for that fact by sustaining our focus on respect, tolerance, friendship through the development of character and excellent academics.

The English School Fahaheel has served the ex-pat community here for almost half a century now. We aim to provide the very best in British education for all our pupils in a supportive and caring environment.

Working in close harmony with parents and the community, we enable students to reach their full potential and develop skills to become independent, self-sufficient adults who will succeed and contribute to a global society. At the English School, Fahaheel, Kuwait, we provide each student with a broad and balanced education in a safe and supportive environment that promotes an enjoyment of learning, strong motivation and excellence respect for others, and the advancement of international-mindedness At The English School Fahaheel, we fully expect excellent conduct and behavior from all our students. This expectation comes from everyone associated with the school. In this way, your son or daughter will work, learn and develop at ESF with confidence. The courtesy shown by staff and students is well-known throughout Kuwait, and this is the high standard that we fully expect throughout each Department. Both our staff and the Ministry of Education are quite clear regarding the effort and behavior expected from each student. In school, children are encouraged to strive for and achieve, their best in work, attitude, and personal behavior. Members of staff are experienced in encouraging positive aspects of a student's efforts, ranging from written approval in workbooks to reward by certificates and other means. The English School Fahaheel was founded in 1968 by a group of expatriate parents under the guidance of the incumbent British Consult. In that same year, the school was recognized by the Private Education Department of the Ministry of Education in Kuwait and opened its doors to a handful of expatriate students. At that time there was no other school in South Kuwait providing an English education other than a company school established in Ahmadi by Kuwait Oil Company for the children of its employees. This company school was closed in 1970. Due to the steady increase in the expatriate English-speaking population in Kuwait, it became evident by late 1976 that further expansion would be necessary for the not-too-distant future. In 1978 an upper story to the main building was constructed, substantially increasing the number of student places available. Progress and expansion continued unabated until the invasion of Kuwait in 1990. The occupying Iraqi army used the school premises as a command center and destroyed or looted furniture, educational materials, and anything of value. Following the liberation of Kuwait in 1991, the owner of the school, Mr. Ibrahim Shuhaiber M.Sc., was determined to see it thrive once again. A major clean-up operation began as the British Army forces in Kuwait assisted in clearing mines and ammunition from the surrounding area and beach. The English School Fahaheel soon regained its position as one of Kuwait's leading English schools, achieving excellence in education. The Early Years Department occupies spacious and stimulating teaching areas which are linked to large and well-resourced indoor and outdoor play areas. These areas are equipped with large and safe play equipment. Throughout Middle School, the ethos is to create a stimulating educational environment, lively and colorful, in which children feel secure and happy, are motivated to do their best work, and enthusiastic about the range of subjects taught in a challenging manner. The curriculum in the Upper School Department of The English School Fahaheel is designed to provide a balanced, broad, and rich education as preparation for university courses within the Middle East and further a field. A strong team of proven specialist teachers contributes much to the academic and all-around education of Upper School students. View full school

At each level, the classroom lessons are taught in English by qualified native teachers. Our program includes the integration of the British National Curriculum and the Italian Ministerial Program. Under the guidance of our trained staff who work daily with passion and enthusiasm, we have created an environment where problem-solving in a creative way is encouraged, and the acquisition of tools for critical thinking is stimulated. Our priority is to support children in their emotional, cognitive and social development, and thus our child-teacher ratio is very low. We give each student the attention he or she needs, as an individual, and as part of a group. The school also places a strong emphasis on the development of civic sense and respect for diversity. The Little English aims to provide an environment and opportunities which encourage all students to become receptive, independent, creative and responsible world citizens. We recognize the wide range of aptitudes, interests, and cultural backgrounds of every learner and the impact they will have on each other and the wider community in the future. The Little English School aims to nurture and support the potential of every child to become a knowledgeable, proactive and curious student. We believe our students must be aided in the development of their natural curiosity and supported in the acquisition of the skills that will render them autonomous in the learning process. Our school aims to be a place where children learn to learn, taking joy in doing so. Our students’ constant exposure to languages other than their mother tongue provides them with an open mind towards other cultures and a strong awareness of diversity. There are significant advantages to learning a second language early in life. Very young children learn through play and first-hand experience. Students in our elementary and middle school obtain a strong English proficiency through a differentiated and stimulating program. The Little English School, therefore, offers a unique educational opportunity for both very young and primary/middle school-aged children who attend our facility. Our Goals: To create a secure, happy, and stimulating environment that supports and stimulates the all-around (academic, physical, social, and emotional) development of each child. To value each student, taking into account individual diversity. To ensure that each student knows how to use language effectively, developing a strong English proficiency. To provide a curriculum that covers the subject requirements of the Italian education system. To develop self-esteem and awareness of the needs of others. To encourage qualities such as creativity, curiosity, and imagination, aiding in the development of critical thinking. To promote respect for moral values, highlighting multiculturalism. To create a school community open to dialogue and cooperation. We believe in helping each child develop self-confidence, self-respect, and self-reliance as essential ingredients for learning. As part of an international community, we also believe that students who have a meaningful connection to different cultures and nationalities will actively seek to create a world in which cooperation, tolerance, and kindness will prevail. The Little English School offers a structure where students feel safe and confident to explore and engage in different experiences. This encourages a strong sense of community between staff, pupils, and families. The classrooms are organized so that our students sit and work in small groups. All furniture is child-sized and appropriate for each age group. Students’ work and other educational materials are displayed in the classroom to make the environment lively, colorful, and inspiring.
