American Academy for Girls

The American Academy for Girls (AAG) is part of the Al-Jeel Al-Jadeed Educational Institute founded in 1964. The institute began with one school, the Al-Jeel Al-Jadeed School in Hawally, and was later joined by the Nasser School in Salmiya in 1969. These two schools were joined in 1993 by The English Academy in Jabriya, the first school in Kuwait to take the title ‘Academy’

In 1995, a feasibility study to establish a school based on the American educational system was put to the board by Mrs. Adelah Al-Sayer and Ms. Khaledah Al-Mudhaf, the General Manager, and was accepted. This was the birth of the American Academy for Girls. AAG was awarded dual accreditation by the European Council of International Schools (ECIS) and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA) in the year 2001. It was a major accomplishment for a school so young to be awarded dual accreditation only six short years after it inception.

There is a large auditorium, a cafeteria, big library, and a well-appointed nurses’ office. The school offers plenty of shaded outdoor recreational space, including a central courtyard for open-air assemblies, regulation-sized soccer/basketball court, outdoor seating and picnic tables.
Elementary and middle/high school students each have their own exclusive physical education facilities, including a large swimming pool that regularly hosts swimming classes for students and after-hours recreational time for the staff. Elementary, middle school, and high school each have their own dedicated science laboratories, computer labs, and large art rooms. Keeping with the traditional values and commitment to the Islamic faith, the Girls’ Campus has prayer areas for students and staff.
