Welcome to High School

Dear Al-Bayan Bilingual School Community,

I am honored and excited to return to BBS for my second year. We accomplished so much together last year.

Nelson Mandela famously asserted that "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." At BBS, we uphold this belief by viewing quality education not just as an investment, but as a catalyst for our country’s advancement. Our commitment extends beyond imparting knowledge; it encompasses fostering integrity, a strong work ethic, and high moral and ethical standards. These foundational principles are integral to the education we provide, ensuring that our students are equipped not only with academic excellence but also with the values and skills to positively impact society and contribute to the rise of Kuwait.

As we embark on this new school year, I want to emphasize our commitment to academic excellence, student well-being, and community engagement. Our aim is to provide a rigorous and challenging curriculum that prepares students for success in college and beyond, while nurturing a passion for learning and personal growth. We believe that education is not only about acquiring knowledge, but also about developing critical thinking skills, creativity, and global awareness. With the addition of new AP courses and the Week Without Walls initiative, we are continually encouraging students to explore new ways to challenge themselves and their thinking to be better citizens of the world.

At Al-Bayan Bilingual School, we also recognize the importance of supporting student well-being and mental health. We are dedicated to fostering a safe and supportive environment where students can thrive academically and personally. Counseling and support services are available to all students, and we encourage parents to actively engage in their child’s education and well-being.

Lastly, I want to emphasize the significance of community involvement within our school. Education is a collaborative endeavor, and we value the input and participation of every member of our community. We highly encourage parents to actively engage in school activities and events. Your involvement is invaluable, and we sincerely appreciate your feedback and suggestions as we collaborate to ensure the highest quality education for our students. A special thanks goes to the PTA for advocating parent perspectives; many of their insightful suggestions have significantly influenced the development of our High School Guide. Together, we are committed to fostering a supportive educational environment that meets the needs and aspirations of every student.

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.

Dr. Jeanette Alsabah
