EC Principal’s Welcome

In the Early Childhood division of AIS Kuwait (American International School), we are committed to nurturing each child through purposeful teaching and learning at the start of their school journey. As a leading American school in Kuwait, we provide a warm, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environment where young learners begin their formal education in Kindergarten.

Our program is rooted in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme, integrated with a strong American curriculum. This combination offers students a solid academic foundation by encouraging positive social interactions, developing independent thinking, and cultivating natural curiosity through inquiry-based learning. It’s an approach that fosters a lifelong love of learning, promotes academic growth, and builds global awareness—key qualities of confident, capable learners.

Our dedicated and experienced teachers in Kuwait deliver a world-class education through student-focused planning and teaching strategies tailored to each child’s individual needs. As part of an accredited international school in Kuwait, we believe in the power of strong partnerships. The AIS Kuwait community is proudly family-oriented, and we encourage parents, teachers, and students to work together in a supportive triangle that ensures every child feels safe, valued, and happy at school.

We believe that building strong, trusting relationships with students and families lays the foundation for success not only in Kindergarten but throughout a child’s educational journey. These relationships give our students the confidence and resilience to face challenges and reach their full potential—academically, socially, and emotionally.

As the Principal, I am deeply committed to upholding the mission and core values of AIS Kuwait, recognized among the best schools in Kuwait. In Early Childhood, our focus is on nurturing curiosity, promoting growth, and developing imagination and key life skills through play and inquiry-led learning. These values are at the heart of our daily practice and reflect our commitment to a holistic approach to education.

On behalf of our entire Early Childhood division, I warmly welcome all returning families and those joining us for the first time to the AIS Kuwait community.

We look forward to seeing your children grow, explore, and thrive in Kindergarten and beyond.
