The students and staff at the Kuwait American School meet as a whole school three times a week for our values based assembly. Each assembly has a theme. For the 2005 – 2006 academic year, our assembly themes are Co-operation, Generosity, Joy, Respect, Tolerance, Freedom, Peace and Love.

Each theme lasts from one month to six weeks. The Principal leads the first thematic assembly and then each class, group of students, students with staff and individual members of staff take it in turn to lead and contribute to a whole school assembly.

Each assembly begins with the Qoran and National Anthem. This is followed by a values based song composed either by staff or children and songs of a traditional, local and moral nature. A story or play with an important moral message to tell is shared. All assemblies end with "quiet reflection time" where everyone is invited to "close their eyes" and think, to gentle music, how to put positive morals into practice during the day.

Two special and very popular guests often appear in assembly. They are Mr.Bob and Mr.Owl who are two puppets. Mr.Bob contributes by sharing the good things seen around school and Mr.Owl speaks sample words of wisdom.
