The International Academy of Kuwait has a strong tradition of teaching in English and providing high quality learning and teaching programes, using experienced and qualified teachers from around the world. We serve a multi-cultural and multi-national student body, with an emphasis on academic excellence based on the Curriculum of England and Cambridge framework leading to the IGCSE examinations. Our student population of over almost 2000 students comprises mainly local ex-patriate Arab families as well as Kuwaiti nationals.

IAK welcomes and encourages students from a diverse background of nationalities and religions to apply. Anybody who knows IAK will know that there is a commitment from our students, staff and the wider community, to values such as tolerance, compassion, honesty, trust and most of all, respect for one another.

The International Academy of Kuwait is a school committed to academic excellence through personalised learning for every student academic learning needs where:

  • Rigorous goal setting is linked to quality assessment of learning outcomes.
  • Lessons are enjoyed and students are supported beyond the classroom in their journey to adulthood.
  • Students are developed to be active thinkers and lifelong learners.
  • Students, staff, parents and the wider community share a close connection.
  • Students are happy, challenged and rewarded.
  • We develop a deep respect for Kuwait’s religious and cultural norms.

At IAK, we are proud to be a school that has a long tradition of serving a multi-cultural and multi-national student body here in Kuwait. We are proud to have a rich and experienced alumni that have been educated across the globe. We are proud to instill values that allow our students to develop, grow and express their individuality, as well as prepare them to take on the challenges ahead, equipped with the necessary skills to become 21st century global citizens.

As a team of educators, we have the incredible opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives and futures of our students. We fully recognize the need to forge strong partnerships across our learning community as we strive for excellence in all that we do. Working together we aim to ensure every child has the chance to realize their full potential. We aim to meet the needs of every child instructionally, socially, and emotionally. Making learning joyful and serious fun.

All students engage in an inclusive aspirational curriculum based on the breadth and balance of the English national curriculum. This allows our young people to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful lifelong learners. Their educational journey begins in the early years’ foundation program progressing through primary school and secondary, to the external examinations at IGCSE and A level.

During this journey, students will not only experience the rigor and challenge of the curriculum, but will also have the chance to develop resilience, tolerance, leadership opportunities, sporting prowess and much more, making them rounded and ready to contribute to not only the school but also the wider community in Kuwait and beyond. All in preparation for post-secondary education and the university of choice.

There is only one way to achieve this and that is by inspirational staff, purposeful and ambitious students and supportive parents, all working together so we can ensure that every child who attends IAK can have the best education possible. Schools are fantastic places because they are about making dreams a reality.

We will continue to keep students at the forefront of every decision we make as a learning community. Continue to encourage them to move from their comfort zone, we will continue to stretch and challenge, and we will continue to praise and recognize their achievements, great and small.

Many skills, values and aptitudes do not come with a piece of paper, but they are nonetheless vital for happy and purposeful living.  A great education nurtures character; and it lasts a lifetime.
