History
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. 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.
Sports
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]
