Host Country
Discover Kuwait
Kuwait offers a rich blend of culture, heritage, modernity, and warmth, making it an exceptional place for our scholars, staff, and families to live, learn, and grow. At Kuwait Bilingual School 2, we are proud to be situated in a country that embraces diversity, innovation, and tradition.
A Unique Blend of Heritage and Modernity
Kuwait’s deep-rooted history, dating back to ancient trade routes, is balanced by its vibrant modern life. The iconic Kuwait Towers, majestic skyline, and bustling Souq Al-Mubarakiya offer a glimpse into the country’s fusion of the past and the future.
Warm Hospitality
Kuwaitis are known for their hospitality and generosity. From sharing traditional meals to welcoming visitors with open arms, the warmth of the local community is an experience in itself. The Arabic value of ‘Diwaniya’—gatherings focused on conversation and connection—embodies this spirit of camaraderie.
A Safe and Family-Friendly Environment
Kuwait is known for its safety and family-oriented culture. Families can explore numerous parks, beaches, and entertainment centers like The Scientific Center, Al Shaheed Park, and The Avenues Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in the world. These spaces provide recreation, education, and social opportunities for all ages.
Cultural and Culinary Richness
From the scent of fresh Arabic coffee (qahwa) to the diverse culinary delights ranging from machboos (spiced rice with meat) to international cuisine, Kuwait is a melting pot of flavors. Cultural events such as the Hala February Festival celebrate art, music, and heritage.
A Hub for Global Citizenship
With a diverse population, Kuwait offers a truly multicultural experience. This diversity enriches our scholars’ understanding of global citizenship, aligning perfectly with our IB mission to nurture internationally minded leaders. Scholars at KBS 2 learn to appreciate and respect different cultures, fostering inclusivity and global awareness.
Rich Learning Opportunities
Kuwait’s cultural and historical sites—such as the Tareq Rajab Museum and the Kuwait National Museum—provide educational experiences that complement classroom learning. Field trips and service opportunities help our scholars connect their studies to real-world contexts.
Desert Adventures and Coastal Beauty
From the golden sands of the Kuwait desert to the sparkling waters of the Arabian Gulf, Kuwait offers diverse natural landscapes. Families can enjoy activities like desert camping, dhow boat rides, and visits to the serene Failaka Island, where ancient history meets natural beauty.
A Supportive Expat Community
Kuwait is home to a thriving international community. Our staff and families benefit from networks of support, international clubs, and cultural organizations, creating a sense of home away from home.
