lyc茅e fran莽ais of kuwait by GlobetrotterParent
We will be moving to Kuwait this year. Our 7-year old daughter is in the French school system and we would be interested in getting some feedback on the lyc茅e fran莽ais of Kuwait. Does anyone have kids there or have experience with the school?

Nope, apparently if you do not have enough french blood they aren't interested. Nevertheless my girls are getting french in their school now. So they will be having classes in english with arabic and french immersions. It turned out better. Read More

I was yesterday looking for it and ended at the Gulf English school, behind the Salmiya Park. Then I guess it is opposite to those. I know there is a stadium there as well. I should keep the NBK to my right driving East, correct? Read More
