Welcome to the website of the American School of Kuwait!

Learn from the BEST!

They come from 13 different countries – and they are good…. very, very good.

The teachers who comprise the faculty of The American School of Kuwait are an outstanding group of educators. Nearly eighty percent of our faculty are from North America. All of our faculty are certified or licensed teachers in the subject area or grade level that they are teaching at ASK. Their focus and our school mission is uncomplicated and clear.

The American School of Kuwait educates the whole child to become a productive, life-long learner who thinks critically, acts with integrity, and is equipped to excel in American Higher Education.

To do this, we have a faculty of teachers who are:

• people of ethics and integrity

• teachers who are able to not only think critically themselves but able to develop, nurture, and unleash the skills to do this in our children

• life-long learners themselves, who have excelled in higher education and understand what that takes in order to properly prepare our students

• leaders who are passionate about changing this world and building a sustainable planet through the power of this generation of learner

The Bar for Teaching Standards at ASK is set High. It should be… and ASK Teachers soar over it each day!

As we prepare the 1650 students whose parents trust us to play this critical role in the life of their child, we successfully seek out the best educators in the world. We have a proven track record of attracting and retaining the best teaching talent. In the final report from our most recent glowing accreditation review, the Middle States reviewer, stated,

“The Illinois standards, the use of “Understanding by Design”
to direct curriculum and assessment revisions, and the planned
professional learning available at the school all point toward ASK
continuing to hold its place among the leading accredited schools…”

Educators who practice at The American School of Kuwait are the latest in a long line of powerful instructors with the compassion, knowledge, and skills to guide children to become life-long learners. They are mindful and proud to take their place in this long line of excellence. If you are a teacher visiting this website and hoping to come to ASK, please know that you must very, very strong to join us.

Our students learn from the BEST!

…and I am proud to say that I am fortunate enough to be their superintendent.
