United Indian School

United Indian School, established in 1985 stands head held high in the heart of Abbassia in Kuwait. Having carved a niche for itself in the educational arena in Kuwait, the school is one of the biggest and the best among the CBSE schools in Kuwait. Serving about 6300 students, the school seeks to provide an integrated programme in training of the intellect, body and spirit of every child under its care.

UIS is recognized by the Ministry of Education of Kuwait and is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi, India. It prepares students for the All India Secondary School Examination (AISSE) and the All India Senior School Certificate Examination(AISSCE). The medium of instruction is English with Hindi as the second language. From Std IX, French is also offered in place of Hindi. Arabic is taught from Std 1.

We at UIS seek to impart knowledge with the full conviction that true knowledge is divine and that only such knowledge will lead to the holistic development of a child. UIS aspires to help in the process of building the character of her students by giving them strong moral values. An edifice on a strong foundation stands tall and strong when every thing around it crumbles and decays. Therefore we strive to lay strong foundations in the lives of our students who will in turn enrich their communities and society at large.

The school Motto is ‘Knowledge is Divine’ We believe that however much knowledge we acquire, human knowledge is always incomplete and imperfect. Only God is omniscient. We do believe that knowledge without application is of no use. We also believe that one must not be proud of one’s knowledge but the more knowledge we gain the more humble we should become.

We follow the curriculum prescribed by the Central Board of Secondary Education , New Delhi, India. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation system.(CCE) As per the newly introduced system of CCE there has been a shift in the evaluation process. Some important features of the new system are as follows:

• Students’ achievements and skills in different areas of development ( cognitive, physical, emotional, social, aesthetic )are observed and recorded on a continuous basis
• This is done through observing and evaluating activities and projects, class room participation, home work , class work, group and individual tasks, games etc. apart from the formal and written Formative and Summative Assessments. For this purpose we have incorporated in our regular time table, activities such as Work Experience, First Aid, Indigenous games, Art, Yoga , Music etc.
• This is a departure from the old ‘Pass-Fail’ system and provides an opportunity for students to improve their performances.
• It has opened an avenue for the personal and social skills, interests and attitudes of the students to be appreciated.
• It helps diagnosis of difficulties of the learner and timely remediation.
• It gives a holistic picture of the learner.
