Building on Tradition, Preparing for the Future

As The English School expands to include Year 9 from August 2025, we are excited to offer an enhanced educational journey that continues our legacy of academic excellence, strong pastoral care, and holistic student development.

TES has long been a leading preparatory school in Kuwait, and with the introduction of Upper School, we are committed to providing students with the best possible foundation for future success.

Why Year 9 at TES?

Year 9 serves as a crucial transition year between Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. It provides students with the opportunity to:

  • Build independence and academic resilience
  • Develop a strong sense of identity and social confidence
  • Strengthen key skills in preparation for IGCSE studies
  • Engage in leadership and extracurricular opportunities

Through a broad, challenging curriculum and a nurturing environment, we ensure that our students are fully prepared to thrive in their educational journey.

Year 9 Curriculum & Preparing for IGCSE

The Year 9 curriculum at TES is designed to provide depth and breadth in learning while laying the groundwork for IGCSE subject choices in Year 10.  Our well-balanced programme not only prepares students academically, but also fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving.

Year 9 is a foundation year for IGCSE. While it does not mark the start of Key Stage 4, it provides students with the necessary preparation for the rigour of IGCSE study. Our goal is to empower students to make the best decisions for their future while ensuring they are academically and emotionally prepared for the next stage of their education.

Supporting Students Beyond the Classroom

At TES, we believe in educating the whole child, ensuring that academic achievement is complemented by strong pastoral care, leadership opportunities, and co-curricular enrichment.
