Our story.

The ENGLISH Academy is part of the Al Jeel Al Jadeed Educational Institute founded in 1964. The Institute began with one school, the Al Jeel Al Jadeed School in Hawalli, and was later joined by the Al Nasser School in Salmiya in 1969. These two schools were joined in 1993 by The ENGLISH Academy in Jabriya, the first school in Kuwait to take the title ‘Academy’. In 2013, The ENGLISH Academy moved to a brand new state-of-the-art premises in Hawally.

In 2012 The ENGLISH Academy achieved British School Overseas status, approved by the UK Government Department of Education and monitored by Ofsted, the official body for inspecting schools in England. There have been subsequent inspections on a three-year rotation that have concluded that The ENGLISH Academy is a good school.
