The British School of Kuwait

Welcome to The British School of Kuwait (BSK), where excellence knows no bounds, and inspiration is the cornerstone of your child’ educational journey. With modern teaching approaches and a nurturing environment, our passionate educators are committed to unlocking the unique talents of each child, providing endless opportunities for growth and exploration.

Founded in 1978, BSK provides the best of British education in Kuwait, offering a high quality co-educational experience for students from Reception through to Year 13. Prior to Reception, our youngest students are provided for by our sister school The Sunshine Kindergarten (TSK) through their Crèche, Pre-KG and KG programmes.

BSK provides a structured, caring and happy environment for learning with excellent resourcing and highly-trained, well-motivated, UK qualified teaching staff. We are a founding member of both the British Schools of the Middle East (BSME) and the Association of British Schools Overseas (AoBSO).

Following the National Curriculum of England from Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) through to I/GCSE, AS and A Level examinations for students in Years 11 to 13, students at BSK benefit from an impressive breadth and depth of curriculum that is complemented by strong pastoral support and a wealth of enrichment opportunities that provide an education like no other, nurturing the thinks, innovators and leaders of tomorrow.

At BSK our students benefit from an exceptionally broad curriculum offer through to IGCSE, AS and A Level, ensuring they have every opportunity to stretch themselves, develop their talents and explore their interests. With a choice of over 25 programmes of study on offer at IGCSE and close to 20 at AS and A level, the exceptional breadth of curriculum on offer at both Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 is designed to enable our older students to explore their interests, develop their talents and pursue their individual futures.

With students from over 70 different nationalities, we also believe in the importance of fostering a global community where diversity thrives and enriches the educational experience through the sharing of cultures, ideas, and perspectives. Here, students embark on a journey of discovery, connecting with peers from around the world, broadening their horizons, and forging friendships that last a lifetime.

An education at BSK extends far beyond the classroom walls. We believe in the power of extracurricular activities to enrich lives and broaden perspectives. Whether it's sports, arts, debate, or technology, there really is something for everyone. So whether it be the thrill of competitive sports, the creativity of artistic endeavours, or the excitement of programmes such as the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award, our students are encouraged to pursue their passions and push the boundaries of what they thought possible.

At the heart of everything we do lies a commitment to personal and social excellence. We understand that true success is not just about academic achievements but also about character and compassion. Through strong pastoral care and a wealth of leadership opportunities, we empower our students to become not only focused and determined learners but also empathetic, resilient, and accepting individuals. At BSK, we shape not just minds but also hearts, preparing our students to thrive in an ever-changing world.

In our structured, caring, and happy learning environment, students find the support they need to flourish. With excellent resources and a dedicated team of highly-trained educators, we provide the tools for success and the encouragement to dream big. At BSK, every student is valued, every achievement celebrated, and every dream nurtured.

Join us at The British School of Kuwait, where excellence is not just a goal but a way of life. Together, let's inspire greatness and shape the future, one student at a time.
