Welcome to the American School of Kuwait!

This site is a collection of information that goes into varying levels of detail about what it’s like to live and work in Kuwait and what you need to do to get ready for the move. We’ve worked to prioritize the information here to only include things you need to know before coming to Kuwait. 

Besides the information on this site, the entire ASK community of faculty, administrative, and support staff have a hand in helping your transition to a professionally successful and personally rewarding experience living and working in Kuwait. Before you arrive, we expect you to read as much of the information as possible. If questions arise that are not addressed on this website, you can contact us, your orientation coordinators, via email. We are here to assist you in any way we can. We hope you find this useful in your preparations for coming to Kuwait. 

We look forward to meeting all of you personally in August. We hope that the efforts of the orientation team make your transition as smooth and comfortable as possible. Until then, please join the New Hires Facebook Group. The Facebook group is a place where new hires can connect. Once again, please send any questions to the orientation email, and we will assist you as best we can. We look forward to meeting you soon!
