Hawalli
Bilngual (American English/ Arabic) Islamic-oriented
KG1-12
Car, although some take school buses (vans).
There aren't many extracurricular activities in the afternoons, as is typical in Kuwaiti schools, because the main meal with the family is lunch at around 3 p.m., and students are normally home then. The school does particpate in football (soccer) games with other schools, as well as Quran and other Islamic studies competitions.
The students are mostly Kuwaitis, with some other Arabs and a few Western children whose parents are teachers (and even they typically have one Arab parent). Repatriation is not an issue.
Parents get to know each other through meetings at the school, attending activities there, etc. Typically, families have several children in the school, who stay there for years - often from KG until graduation, so they get to know each other. But there is no parent-teacher organization. (I think these questions are - understandably - geared towards expats.)
The school has gained international accredidation from CITA. It is is a good school for someone who wants their children to have a strong background in English and Arabic, with an Islamic perspective. For example, boys and girls are separated after KG, there are extra Quran classes instead of music classes, and the staff dresses modestly, including hijab for women. This is not a school for an expat who wants a Western environment; they should look at the American or British schools, the French school or Bayan Bilingual School.
The school has grown quickly and has gotten crowded; they need to find a bigger location soon - unfortunately, it's difficult without going farther out from the city.
The previous review is from a disgruntled former employee, not a parent. A review of the working environment is different from a review of the school from a parent/student point of view.
