"I would try to avoid AAG. The current superintendent believes the school is a business and that the 'customer is always right'. In this case, the customer is the student and the parent. Thus, the academic integrity of the school has been completely shattered as parents just need to complain to get their grades changed. Students who complain also have any discipline consequences removed and thus have no consequences. Obviously, this has led to several severe discipline problems, especially in the high school (which set fires in the school this year)," explained one expat living in Salwa, Kuwait.
