US Embassy Support
It is known that the American school of Kuwait has
worked hard to reach the level of being one of the
best schools in Kuwait. However, it is clear that it
could not have accomplished this task without the
support of the American Embassy, with guidance,
co-operation, and support from the American Embassy,
ASK was able to rise up successfully.
 The American Embassy plays an important role in ASK.
In has participated in the development of ASK from
the very first day that it opened until today. It is
going to continue playing an important role in the
near future. Ambassador James Larocco believes that
the future of ASK will be filled with prosperity and
even more improvement. He states, "ASK is
approaching into a new millennium, we are looking at
an ASK that more globally oriented. It will be a
school which will advance itself in technology."
"I believe that this is a goal which is shared by
all the administrators and individuals in high
positions. We are looking at a school which
challenges students in the upcoming century.
Hopefully, facilities will be provided in order for
the students to meet these challenges." ASK is
looking forward to achieving greater accomplishments
in the near future. With the continuation of the
support of the American Embassy ASK will attain
those accomplishments successfully.
With the relationship ASK and the American Embassy
hold, the American Embassy has constantly
participated in the developments of ASK. The
Ambassador mentioned some specific examples, in
which the Embassy has participated in the
development of ASK: He states, there are individuals
of the American Embassy who are on the Advisory
Board. They evaluate programs and they work
co-operatively so that new ideas and developments
can be introduced, to the students, Security
officers play a key role in ensuring that the safety
of the students is brought out. There are many more,
but overall, this is all done for the interest of
the students. There is a strong degree of
co-operation and will for the school to be
successful."
When describing the relationship ASK holds with the
American Embassy he states, "I believe that ASK and
the American Embassy have a special relationship, in
the sense we have a commitment and interest in the
welfare of the school and students. We do everything
we can to strengthen the school. ASK ranks number
one."
"It has excelled in providing good quality education
and providing excellent preparation for university.
Two specific things for university are: One, the
English language. It is truly amazing the way
students who have never lived in the U.S. have such
an ability to handle the English language without
any difficulty. Secondly, the tolerance of cultures.
This is very important in the modern global world.
It is truly an advantage to understand people and
become friends with those who are different than you
in culture, religion and nationality. This is a
critical value in order for a young person to be a
leader in the 20th century."
"Overall, I believe that ASK has done a wonderful
job in making each student a global individual." The
relationship, the developments, and accomplishments
have all helped make ASK the school it is today.
The American School of Kuwait shares a special
relationship with the American Embassy. Both are
working hard and both are dedicated in bringing out
the best for the young children who are going to
lead this world in this new millennium.
