A Welcome from the Arabic Principal

It is our pleasure to address you, once again, on this site. Although the 06 - 07 Academic Year was an extremely successful one for our department, we look forward to the opportunity to learn and improve even more this academic year.

I am proud of the performance of our Arabic and Islamic Studies teachers here at the American School of Kuwait. Due to their efforts I am certain that we will witness continued improvement in the level of understanding of our students and in the achievement of their goals.
