Welcome to High School

Dear Al-Bayan Bilingual School Community,

As we begin a new academic year, I am filled with optimism and gratitude for the opportunity to continue this journey with you. It is a privilege to serve as your High School Principal for the third year and to work alongside a dedicated team of educators, students, and families committed to excellence.

This year, our focus is on intentional growth — as individuals, as a school, and as a community. Growth does not happen by accident; it comes from purposeful effort, a willingness to reflect, and the courage to try new things. Whether it is refining our instructional practices, supporting student well-being, or finding new ways to partner with families, we are committed to continuous improvement in all that we do.

At BBS, we believe that learning must be relevant, challenging, and meaningful. With our expanding AP program, enhanced extracurricular offerings, and the return of transformative initiatives like Week Without Walls, we are creating learning opportunities that prepare students not only for university, but for life. We want our students to become curious thinkers, responsible citizens, and empathetic leaders who can thrive in a complex and dynamic world.

We also remain deeply committed to student well-being. Academic success means little without a strong foundation of social and emotional support. Our counseling team, wellness initiatives, and caring faculty are here to ensure every student feels seen, heard, and valued.

Finally, I want to thank our parents and families for your continued partnership. Your presence, feedback, and support make a profound difference in the life of our school. A special thank you to our PTA, whose collaboration and insight continue to shape many of the initiatives and programs we offer.

Let us embrace this year with purpose and passion. Together, we will continue building a high school experience rooted in excellence, empathy, and opportunity.

Sincerely,

Katrin Gendy

Dear BBS Community,

After 17 years as a High School teacher in various countries, 7 of them at BBS, it is now my pleasure to welcome you as your new Assistant Principal. My experience as both a teacher and head of department will support my new role in administration. I built my classroom on the idea of student-centered learning; listening to the student’s voice and respecting their choice. This spirit of partnership, both with the students and the parents, is something that I strongly believe in and look forward to continuing. It is what sets our school apart.

Al-Bayan is the top bilingual school in Kuwait. With more than four decades of commitment to education, our school has maintained a level of excellence rarely rivaled in the country. To stay true to this, and to our school’s vision, our administration and teachers are continuously introducing new programs while also revising and improving our already robust courses. At BBS we do not compromise when it comes to the quality of our students’ education.

I am here to ensure that our students have the best high school experience. My door is always open and I look forward to meeting you.

I wish you every success.

Mr. Khaldoon Al-Ababneh

HS Assistant Principal

Welcome to Al Bayan Bilingual School!

With 28 years of experience in education, both in Kuwait and the USA, I’ve had the privilege of teaching and serving as an administrator across every grade level, from KG to Grade 12. Throughout my career, I’ve been committed to fostering the heritage of Kuwait and helping our students reach their fullest potential.

As we guide our students through the exciting and sometimes turbulent final years of school, our goal is to prepare them for life beyond the classroom, helping them become productive, engaged members of our community. While the knowledge they acquire in school is important, it is the strategies, skills, and resilience they develop along the way that will truly carry them forward.

At Al Bayan, we believe in nurturing a growth mindset. We want our students to understand that they are capable of achieving great things, even when faced with challenges. They may forget the content of a lesson, but they will never forget the perseverance, problem-solving, and critical thinking they needed to reach their goals.

Together, we’ll be by their side, helping them learn that they can do hard things, and that their efforts will lead to a better, brighter future.

We are here to support their journey every step of the way.
