Schools in Kuwait

• The English School in Salmiya is by far the BEST school for western expat children under 12 years of age. It's got a great community feeling, is very secure, parents are encouraged to get involved through the Parents Association and are allowed on school grounds to pick up / drop off kids (unlike places like BSK where theyre not). There is plenty of room in playgrounds and larger classrooms. I chose it by instinct and after hearing horror stories from other western parents who have pulled out their kids from other schools and got them into T.E.S, I'm so glad I trusted my gut judgement. We are from Australia and couldn't be happier with the education our child is getting in Reception year. It's also a not for profit school (which means a LOT in this country) and where most embassy staff send their primary school aged children. I can't comment on high school, but by that stage TES kids go on together to either K.E.S or BSK (or boarding schools in the UK).
