Kuwait Bilingual School

Kuwait Bilingual School (KBS) was established in September 1998 in Al Jahra City, Kuwait. Its foundation was a landmark in educational provision in the district, being the first school in the area to offer a coeducational, bilingual, private school education for people of the city.

The school presently offers a comprehensive academic program and is fully licensed by the Ministry of Education from Pre-KG to 12. In March 2016, the school was also accredited Pre-K through 12 by the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges (MSA).

They provide challenging educational experiences based on IB curriculum frameworks, to ensure that learners will acquire the skills, knowledge and attitudes needed to develop their full potential and to meet the demands of a rapidly changing and morally complex world.

In June 2013, the school was authorized as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School at the primary level and were recently also authorized to deliver the middle years programme (May 2018). KBS received accreditation with the Middle States Association of America in the summer of 2016.

The school moved to a brand new campus, KBS2, in 2016. With these improved facilities, they have spacious classrooms fitted with the latest technology, a purpose built theatre, swimming pool, science labs and sports halls. The facilities are also open to the wider community after school hours and at weekends, with extra curricular programmes and sports activities available for students, parents and the public.
