Welcome Message

At The English Playgroup, you will find a stimulating and successful program of learning, playing and care, taught by the very best trained English specialist teachers.

Within the schools, there is a strong belief in children receiving a challenging and inspirational education and in developing their own talents and personalities in preparation for their future education. Our bilingual program teaches fluency in English and Arabic through a well-structured, thematic approach to learning.

At our schools, we use the English National Curriculum to deliver the best of Early Years, Primary and Secondary Education. Over the years, we have developed our own books and curriculum resources that match our student’s abilities and help them progress solidly through the Foundation, KS1, KS2 and KS3 levels. Arabic is taught in line with the Kuwait Ministry of Education guidelines. Class sizes are kept small at our schools to ensure each child receives the attention and care they deserve and all our staff are experienced professional teachers with high standards of achievement.

Our schools provide a stimulating, creative and welcoming environment in which to learn. Our facilities, which are designed specifically with the Early Years and Primary & Secondary-aged children in mind, are second-to-none and are constantly updated to stay at the forefront of Early Learning, Primary & Secondary education.

I look forward to welcoming you and your children at The English Playgroup and EPG Schools.

My son and daughter have attended The English Play Group for three years. My kids love their teachers and they get very excited to go to school every morning. They have learned so much, and their vocabulary, reading, writing and social skills are improving remarkably. In addition to the daily fun activities at class, the school holds multiple events throughout the year that involves parents participation, which is a great opportunity to interact with my kids, the other parents and the teachers. It's really great to see my kids having fun with their friends. The teachers and staff are very professional, friendly, cooperative and caring. They are very keen on keeping the parents involved by giving constant feedback and tips in order to improve the kid's progress.
