How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?

Some of the classrooms are a little small but there are improvements being made all the time to rectify this. The school has only been open about 4 years I think so it takes time. 2 days a week there are after schools clubs offered. everything from sports, martial arts to extra language tuition

This is not the best school in Kuwait but they are providing a good education to the majority of students.
