Join Our Diverse Community
Serves both the local and international communities, with children from over 70 nationalities and close ties are maintained with the U.K. and with other overseas British and International schools.
Thriving from the Start
The first classes of NES opened in a villa in Shamiyah, actually starting at Secondary level and very soon after extending backwards to Kindergarten. It was soon apparent that this educational venture was outgrowing the original premises, so a purpose built campus was opened in 1974, and to date, improvements and extensions continue to maintain an environment that allows students to thrive.
Pioneering In Education
The chairman comes from a family with a history of pioneering in education and he established the school at a time of change in Kuwait in which he foresaw the need for education with English as the medium of teaching.
Encouraged to Grow
In developing and encouraging the confidence and talents of students, NES plays its part in preparing graduates for success in the wider world. Here, Haneen Khalil, co-founder of NESMED, performs her own version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" at this year's Graduation Ceremony.
Celebrating Student Success
