Home Information About BSK Campus

The British School of Kuwait is conveniently located in the suburb of Salwa.  The campus is prominent from Road 30, the Fahaheel Expressway, and straddles Road 1 in Area 1, between Road 213, Al Aqsa Mosque Street, and Road 214, Salwa Street.

To the west of Road 1, the campus consists of the following, north to south:

  • ‘The Royal Scot’ which is the School’s shop selling items of uniform, stationery, textbooks and other resources.  This building also houses classrooms dedicated to Business and ICT.
  • ‘The Outer Courtyard’, a huge covered playground, and the ‘Swimming Pool Complex’.
  • ‘The Main Building’, the largest on the campus.  This three-storey square building houses most classrooms and at the centre of which is the ‘Inner Courtyard’.  In addition to general classrooms for Reception to Year 5, there are also specialist rooms for the teaching of English, Mathematics, Humanities, Modern Foreign Languages, Arabic and Islamic Studies, Chemistry and Physics.  The roof houses two courtyards, ‘North’ and ‘South’, as well as a canteen for the use of Year 6-10 students.  Administrative functions include the Reception, Bursary, the Registration Office, Accounts and interview rooms.  At the heart of the building is ‘The Shakespeare Theatre’ which is home to assemblies, productions and other events.
  • ‘Park Lane’ is where school buses arrive and depart.
  • ‘The White House’ is a large villa complex that contains a variety of support services and specialist rooms.  The main offices for the Director, Executive Director, Principal, Head Teachers and Assistant Head Teacher are located here.  The Transport Office, Personal Assistant locations and Ministry Liaison Offices are also located here along with specialist teaching rooms for Biology, Design and Technology, Drama and Dance.  ‘The John Lennon’ music studio, other specialist music rooms including a recording studio, the ‘Learning Resource Centre’ (LRC) and ‘Lowry Gallery’ are also based in The White House.
  • A second complex of villas lies to the south of ‘The White House’ but in the space between are found a ‘Jungle Gym’ for younger students, a garden and a studio for ceramics equipped with potter’s wheels and a kiln.
  • The second villa complex consists of three buildings.  To the east, ‘Euston’ is the home of Fine Art, Graphic Design, Photography and Textiles.  In the centre, ‘Chequers’ contains the ‘Britannia Sixth Form Centre’ and the ‘Staff Common Room’.  To the west, ‘Whitehall’ is dedicated to Music with stores for PE and the International Award.
  • South of ‘White House 2’ is the hanger-like ‘Marble Arch’, a cavernous multi-purpose arena.  The access road to the south of the ‘Marble Arch’ is owned by BSK.

To the east of Road 1, the campus includes other divisions of our parent company, British International WLL.  From south to north these include:

  • ‘The Sunshine Kindergarten’ (TSK) a purpose-built specialist centre for students from crèche to kindergarten.  Opened in 2009, this state-of-the-art building also houses BSK’s examination rooms, dance studios and culinary teaching centre.
  • ‘Fleet Street’ is a villa housing ‘In2 Media’, our corporate design company.
  • ‘Drury Lane’ is a further villa housing offices for ‘The British Academy of International Arts’ (BAIA).
  • A further building houses BSK’s workshops and the offices of ‘The British Academy of Sport’ (BAS).

There are many ways to display the campus but an interesting way is to use a design based on the London Underground system.
