Khalifa School for special needs

Khalifa School is recognized as the first private educational institution for special needs students in Kuwait. Khalifa School is also the first Special needs school to be accredited by (CIS) Council of International Schools in 2007. Khalifa School was accredited in grade A+ by the Higher Council of the Disabled in 2012-13 in recognition of the services provided for special needs students

Khalifa School began its journey in 1988 with 5 enrolled students in the annex of the owner. The School had to close down for a year during the invasion from 1991 – 1992. After the war the school shifted to a bigger premise in Salwa with enrollment reaching up to 100 students. In 1993 the school shifted to a more established set up in Dasman to fulfill the needs of the growing enrollment.

The School shifted to its new campus in Salmiya in 2008. The present school campus is built keeping in mind the unique needs of the students with more updated facilities and advanced services.

The programs provide a structured and individualized curriculum that focuses on the acquisition of life and functional skills, in accordance with local and international standards. The school takes pride in the highly trained national and international staff of qualified teachers, support service specialists, vocational trainers and medical team. Fine Art focuses on helping the children discover and display their talents through drawing, painting and various other art and craft activities.

The students participate in national and international competitions. The School organizes various staff development workshops, educational as well as vocational, throughout the school year. A very significant feature of the School is organizing the “community awareness programs” through providing on-job-training to students and volunteers from various organizations and firms.
