The History of the School
The concept of the child friendly school based on values was created by its
Director, Mdm Wajeeha Al Habib in the Spring of 1999. After adaptation of the
buildings, the school first opened its doors in September 1999 with 108
students. By September 2000, a new building had been constructed to accommodate
a growing school population. The Swimming Pool was constructed and in use by
May 2005.
The school is known throughout the Middle East and world for its pioneering
approach to values based learning. The school contributed to Education for All
in 2000 and, in the same year, was invited to offer its 33 quality based
learning indicators to UNESCO as a blueprint for early childhood education.

In recent years, its innovative approach has been
widely recognized in Kuwait and its noble goal is fully supported by the
Minister of Education and Ministry of Education.
The school is particularly interested in a holistic approach to education and
embraces the changes to learning brought about by the advances in emotional
intelligence and learning styles. The school is a learning school and seeks to
harness human potential to the highest levels of consciousness. The school
believes in action research to support its goals. The school also enjoys very
active links with KACE – The Kuwait American Centre of Education. The school
established the Kuwait Values Institute in 2004.
