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

Good facilities overall (gyms, swimming pool, labs, etc), though some need a facelift (the arts labs). The school itself is well maintained. Lots of various extra-curricular activities, including athletic (volleyball, basketball, soccer, swimming, track & field, etc) and non-athletic (MUN, NHS, Debate & Forensics, etc).

What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?

No official program, though some faculty members are more forgiving than others. They do offer ESL (English as Second Language). No official repatriation program, though most students do fine once they return back home.

There is an unofficial PTO, which does get involved with the school for certain fund-raising activities. But no real "social activities" for parents to meet and become friends.

One of the few good American curriculum schools in Kuwait. If you want your kids in that system, this school should be in the shortlist.
