Al Ghanim Bilingual School, usually shortened to GBS, is a private co-educational day school on AlMutanbi Street in the Salwa district of Kuwait. It opened in 1997 under a Kuwaiti Ministry of Education licence and has been accredited by the Council of International Schools since 2014. Teaching is bilingual: English-medium subjects follow North American benchmarks, using Common Core in language and mathematics and the Next Generation standards in science, while Arabic, religion, Quran, social studies and music follow the ministry syllabus. Four divisions cover two kindergarten years, Grades 1 to 5, Grades 6 to 8 and Grades 9 to 12. Pupils are mainly Kuwaiti and other Arab nationals, and teachers are drawn from more than nineteen countries. Facilities include three science labs, two computer labs, two music rooms, art rooms, a library, gymnasia, four shaded play areas, two canteens, a clinic and an auditorium. The school also runs a fee-paying bus service, an academic support team with a learning support unit, a nurse-staffed clinic and two eight-week seasons of after-school clubs.
