ASK Housing Policy 

Setting up your apartment

ASK provides overseas-recruited employees with a furnished apartment located south of ASK in Mahboula. There are a total of two towers; one housing singles, and one housing married couples and families. The singles building and the family building (called Dina and Dana) are surrounded by a wall with gates. This building is also locked and has a security guard at the front door 24 hours a day. Together, they make up “The Dunes”. There is a large common area, located between the singles and family building where our community social events are often held. Our common areas include enclosed lobbies, a gym, a pool, a courtyard, and a BBQ area. Everyone living in the Dunes will have access to all of these facilities.  

Single employees and some married couples living at the Dunes will be housed in their own 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. Some married couples and all families will be in 3-bedroom, 3 bathroom apartment. 

Cable television and Internet services can be set up at employees‘ expense, but this can take some time to organize. Do not anticipate having Internet immediately.  However, we will have communal internet access set up so that you can stay connected. The school maintenance department oversees and provides all maintenance services required at the apartments. 

Dryers are not provided, but most employees use a drying rack as things dry quickly here. If you are thinking of bringing some of your favorite small appliances, Kuwait's electrical system is 240 volt 50 Hz. Transformers suitable for operating most 110 v 60 Hz appliances are available locally. 

*Please note that water may leak from the windows when it rains in Kuwait (not terribly often). Please be mindful of this when placing your belongings when rain is forecast. 

The apartments are approximately a 30 to 40 minute drive from ASK‘s school campus. Free bus transportation is provided in the morning to school, and in the afternoon back to Mahboula. The buses have staggered departure times to accommodate a variety of schedules. Teachers may also enjoy using the on-campus pool and weight room facilities. Teachers presently have access to the school 24 hours. 

*Please know housing is subject to change. However, all teachers will be provided with furnished housing as per their contract.
