History
In 1963 a group of American parents began the process of forming a new international school modeled after the "authentic American educational plan." This new school's first term began in September 1964 in the Dasman Area of Sharq, Kuwait as the International School of Kuwait with an official ceremony on November 5, 1964.
In 1969 the school moved to improved facilities in Surra, Kuwait. Eventually, an elementary-only campus was established in Salwa, Kuwait; the Surra campus remained for middle and high school students only. Enrollment increased, and the ministry of Kuwait requested that it change its name to the "American School of Kuwait." Twenty-four years later, in 1995, both ASK campuses, the Surra and Salwa campuses, moved again to a new campus in the Hawalli area, reuniting the elementary, middle, and high school students in one campus.
