The State of Kuwait is a vibrant Arab nation located on the Arabian (Persian) Gulf, known for its rich cultural heritage that dates back thousands of years. Today, Kuwait is recognized as one of the safest and most socially progressive countries in the Gulf region. With the sixth-largest oil reserves in the world, it enjoys a strong, stable economy and a high standard of living for residents and expatriates alike.
Kuwait experiences dry, warm weather for most of the year—hot summers balanced by cooler, pleasant winters. The climate encourages an active outdoor lifestyle, from beach days to exploring the country’s many coastal attractions.
For teachers joining our international school in Kuwait, the country offers an exciting mix of cultural and modern experiences. Kuwait is home to world-class museums and iconic cultural venues, including the Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Centre—the largest opera house complex in the Middle East—and the nearby Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem Cultural Centre, located just minutes from AIS.
Food lovers will enjoy Kuwait’s diverse restaurant scene, where international cuisines meet local culinary traditions. Shoppers can explore The Avenues Mall, a destination known for its blend of traditional Kuwaiti design and global retail brands. For those who enjoy the sea, Kuwait’s beaches, resorts, and nine offshore islands offer perfect weekend getaways.
Residents also benefit from a highly regarded public healthcare system that provides accessible, low-cost medical services.
Faculty at AIS enjoy a fulfilling and active lifestyle throughout the school year. In partnership with local organizations, we offer a wide range of creative, athletic, and cultural opportunities—arts and crafts, music, fitness, community service, and more. These activities help new teachers connect, build friendships, and feel at home in Kuwait’s welcoming expatriate community.
