History[]

The Kuwait English School was established in 1978 by Jassim Al Saddah, who acts as the current chairman of the school, alongside Rhoda Elizabeth Muhmood, who acts as the school's director.^[2] The school was originally a villa until 1984 where they established a "proper" school facility.

In 1991, the school opened the Green Unit, a program catering toward students with learning disabilities. Shortly after the liberation of Kuwait, the school was visited by Anne, Princess Royal. Shortly after, in 1997, the school opened a specialised learning centre known as the "Milennium Centre". This centre was opened by then-Under-Secretary Of State for the Ministry of Higher Education Rasha Al Sabah.
