The English School Fahaheel is a friendly, caring and high-achieving co-educational day school for students between the ages of 3-18 years. With students from forty different nationalities we are truly and International School.
Welcoming students from 7.55am, to the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools, timetables run until 2.00 pm for Years 1-12, although Kindergarten and Reception have earlier finishes to the day. Students throughout the school engage in a varied curriculum and in Primary and Secondary this includes Maths, English, Science and Computing to Languages, Arts and Sport. Also, we run a wide range of extra-curricular clubs and activities after school.
Morning Parade is an important start to every day where the whole school congregates. Being together as a community provides an opportunity to reflect, take stock and celebrate good news and achievements. Our community is around 1000 students, small enough not to get lost, but big enough to be able to offer a wide range of subjects and activities. We aim to limit our class sizes to enable our teachers to work with each student closely concentrating on their individual needs.
Our teaching styles evolve year on year, by keeping up to date with modern techniques and resources, reacting to our students’ requirements and making sure we are going above and beyond for every student. With assessments being an unavoidable part of school life, we like to introduce students to exam techniques starting in Primary.
This experience has proved successful year on year, and last year our Year 11 students achieved an average pass rate of 90% in their subjects at IGCSE level. Many of our students who leave after the completion of their schooling go forward to universities in the UK, North America and in the Middle East.
Introducing school life at any age can be a mix of emotions for students so we ensure that we provide the right environment and tools to help your child manage the challenges ahead.
In the Lower School and in Primary the Principals and Deputies, along with the classroom teacher provide pastoral care. In Secondary the pastoral side of life falls under the care of the House Staff.
At the English School, Fahaheel, Kuwait, we provide each student with a broad and balanced education in a safe and supportive environment that promotes an enjoyment of learning, strong motivation and excellence; respect for others and the advancement of international mindedness.
Above all we respect the value of people, of whatever age, ability or background. We are committed to helping young people perform to the best of their ability, and to experience the opportunity to excel in their chosen fields. We go to whatever lengths necessary to make everyone in our community feel welcome. This is what we mean when we say our values are: People, Excellence, Welcoming and Community.
Our Mission Statement:
Working in close harmony with parents and the community, we enable students to reach their full potential and develop skills to become independent, self-sufficient adults who will succeed and contribute to a global society.
