Hello, My children and I have been in Kuwait since June. I homeschool two of them, boys ages 14 and 11. I would be interested in getting the kids together with other kids. We are located in the Mahboula area. hope to hear from you soon.

I am also interested in homeschooling my son next year for Grade 4. Is it legal to homeschool in Kuwait? What will be the steps to follow?

homeschooling in Kuwait

Postby kimsywimsy » Sat Aug 04, 2007 3:45 pm

I will be moving to Kuwait in the middle of August. Our time there will be only four months. I am interested in finding other homeschoolers of 8-10 year old boys. We are American and my son is a lovely, interesting boy whose interests run to skateboarding, psp, swimming and travelling.
Thanks very much.

Homeschooling and Testing

Postby Jag_2499 » Sat Sep 15, 2007 5:53 am

I would like to homeschool my son-we will be in Kuwait in Nov-but what about testing? On his school schedule-they would have the IBST in Nov and a writing test in Mar. Can we administer the test ourselves?

Military bases can proctor tests, you could try asking the one closest to you.

Playdates

Please PM or Email if you are in Kuwait homeschooling, my 8 year old boy would love some playtime at the science center or a local park :) There are some great places to take kids but he hasn't found a lot of socialization here as most of the children at the park beside us speak Arabic :)

Hi,
I am new to Kuwait and to homeschooling. I have a six year old son. My neighbor homeschools her kids also (5 and 7) and we were thinking about starting up a group. If anyone is still around and would be interested, let me know. We are in the Fahaheel/Mangaf area.
