Holiday Message and Update to Parents – December 2021:

As we head into the holiday the staff at Kuwait National English School would like to wish you a peaceful festive season and a joyful, Happy New Year. We sincerely thank you for journeying with us. We look forward to your return in the New Year.

KNES will close to students on Thursday December 16, 2021 at 2:30 pm for the start of the holiday and will re-open for all students on Tuesday January 04, 2022 at 7:00 am. When we return back to school on the 4^th of January 2022, we will continue to reinforce masking and hand hygiene, as well as physical distancing. Temperature screening for symptoms of illness every day before attending school will still be a requirement. Anyone feeling ill should not attend school.

On behalf of all – thank you for your ongoing efforts which have made the school re-opening process possible, move your child back to face to face learning and for adhering to the ministry’s health and safety measures that have ensured schools remain a safe place for our students and staff.
