The English School Fahaheel Kuwait is a co-educational day school located in Mangaf, Kuwait, that was founded in 1968. The school is open to students from 4 to 18 years of age. Apart from a school opened by the Kuwait Oil Company for the children of its employees, (which closed two years after The English School Of Fahaheel Kuwait was founded) it was the first school in South Kuwait to provide English education. The chairman of the school is Ibrahim Shuhaiber and the current principal is Russell Dunlop.
History[]
In 1968, expatriates founded the school in South Kuwait. Following the closure of the only other English school in South Kuwait in 1970 the school built an extra block of classrooms and an assembly hall to accommodate the displaced students. In 1990, following the Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait, the school premises were used as a command center by the Iraqi army and most of the school property was either destroyed or looted. After the liberation of Kuwait in 1991, the school was rebuilt with help from the British Army. In 2005 the school was moved to a newly built building in Mangaf, both larger and better equipped than the original.
