What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

Be cautious, it isn't really well suited for expat children, but that isn't to say the quality of the education is poor, it just caters to a local ESL population 99% Kuwaiti nationals. It is religiously more conservative that other schools in Q8. PSAT and SAT scores continue to rise. College prep curriculum. 100% graduate and attend post-secondary schools. Graduates have been accepted to many US/Canadian and European universities.
