Stages · ages 3–18

The New English School (NES) in Jabriya, Hawalli, was founded more than 50 years ago by the late chairman Tareq S. Rajab and was the first private co-educational day school in Kuwait to offer the British curriculum from Kindergarten to A Level, with English as the medium of teaching. Its first classes opened in a villa in Shamiyah at secondary level before extending down to Kindergarten, and a purpose-built campus followed in 1974. The school broadly follows the National Curriculum of England while drawing on ideas from around the world: Key Stage 3 (Years 7 to 9) leads into IGCSE courses from Year 10, followed by the Sixth Form. NES highlights a balance of academics, life skills and well-being, student-led initiatives and charity work, an International Award programme, careers guidance and a peer-to-peer tutoring scheme in which Sixth Form students help younger pupils. Most co-curricular activities run after school for an hour.

A restaurant that you cannot miss. And I can't forget the delicious food! Mayar Restaurant is a distinctive Armenian-Lebanese restaurant located behind the Kuwait Stock Exchange. It offers a unique experience that combines exquisite flavor with excellent service. Free valet parking service; They park the car upon arrival and return it upon departure. Recommended dishes (based on experience): The yogurt-stuffed grape leaves are incredible, the kibbeh with cherries is exceptional, the Armenian mutabbal is delicious, the lamb chops are a delight, and their desserts are particularly special, especially the ghazal pudding. Although the prices are relatively high, the taste is worth it. The restaurant manager is a respectable man, and the waiter, Kumar (Indian), offers excellent service and has a kind heart.

Really kind teachers and really care for the students at these hard times. NES has helped many people in being amazing adults and helped them get into good universities. I have respect for it and really appreciate all its done.
