American International School

Since 1991, AIS Kuwait has been nurturing students to achieve at the highest levels and to become contributing world citizens. From a talented educational staff to ever-changing and improving facilities, our students are great beneficiaries of the best of an American and IB Continuum School education. We invite you to explore who we are, why we are the best school in Kuwait, and celebrate with us our diversity of programs and initiatives that propel our students forward year after year.

The label “Great school” is not just our self-assessment; it is not just a widely held public view. It is also based on data collected on student performance by objective outside observers. The work of students in the PYP and the MYP is externally moderated by the IBO thus providing critical feedback to teachers. The Diploma Programme in grades eleven and twelve culminates in rigorous world examinations. Ninety percent of our graduates complete one or more IB courses and they perform near or above the world average. Most of our senior students are full diploma candidates. Many gain first year university credits by scoring well on these exams.

The American International School in Kuwait is governed by the Board of Owners, which oversees the school’s long term educational and financial health. The board works closely and in conjunction with the Superintendent whose responsible for the day to day administration, programming and policies. Their combined talents are focused to support the school’s mission and ensure the fiscal sustainability of AIS.

The American International School Kuwait (AISK) is a private independent day school serving students from pre-kindergarten through grade twelve. AISK is overseen by a Board of Owners that operates similarly to that of an American School Board. AISK is an International Baccalaureate (IB) Continuum School that is fully authorized for the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma (DP) Programmes. At AISK, students are at the center and teaching and learning and are seen as pivotal to the growth and development of students, faculty, and the AISK community.
