Gulf English School Kuwait (GES) is a private, co-educational, international school that is currently located in the suburb of Salmiya, Kuwait. The school has a selective intake of students aged 4–18. Most teaching programmes are based on the National Curriculum of England. Year 10 and 11 within exception of fast-track year 9 students undertake programmes of study leading to GCSE and IGCSE. Sixth form students work towards Edexcel AS and A Level examinations.
GES utilizes the Accelerated Learning System, where IGCSE students complete half of their exams in Year 10, with the other half being in Year 11 (Year 9 and 10 respectively for fast-track students).
History
GES opened in 1980 in Salwa and moved to Rumaithiya in 1996, then finally to Salmiya in 2005, next to Laila Gallery and Salmiya Park. The new campus is a smaller campus than the previous campus in Rumaithiya.
GES and ATIS are sister schools.
