What Staff Say About Working at ABS

"ABS is a school which is committed to giving all students the opportunity to be healthy, balanced people; we have fantastic facilities such as an air-conditioned gym, outdoor artificial football pitch, a climbing wall and a heated swimming pool; with a full time life guard. ABS has given me the freedom to be creative in my teaching and has also empowered me to generate extracurricular activities and international trips such as the annual ski trip to Switzerland."

Liam - PE Teacher

 

"I have been working with ABS now for the past two years and it has been a great experience all round.  When I first came to Kuwait, the administration and current teachers made us “newbies” feel very welcome and they all gave us great support in helping us to settle in. The diversity of cultures and backgrounds within ABS make working here interesting and challenging.  The main things I really like about ABS are the following:

Students:

I have been fortunate to work with a lot of really keen, interesting and lovely students. It is what makes coming to work easier. At the end of the year I am sad to see them leave my class but it is great to see them again at the start of a new term.

Teachers/Colleagues:

I have made some really good friends since I have come to Kuwait and these friendships will endure for a lifetime. These strong friendships are made when we all live and work close to each other and find ourselves experiencing the challenges of working and living in Kuwait together.

Resources:

I was really impressed how much resources the school has. You are given everything you need to teach effectively in the classroom. I have become even better at using the Interactive Whiteboard (every teacher has their own) and I don’t think I could live without one now.

I will be sad to leave ABS, but I have enjoyed my time here, so hopefully I could come back one day."

William - Teacher

 

"I enjoy every single minute I spend teaching ABS students, because all what I need as a teacher is available and easily accessible. So creativity and innovation with regards to my increases day by day. I enjoy the latest technology in Kuwait by using the Active Board facility which encourages students to concentrate completely so teacher can utilize the whole class time in teaching and giving the required information. I am so happy to have the opportunity of working with an experienced and understandable management and staff."

Imad - Teacher

 

"ABS is a school with a genuine commitment to the 21st century classroom, a fact made clear from their investment in both hardware and software in the classrooms. I felt the opportunity of developing my skills as both a teacher in IT and a teacher using IT was invaluable for today's information rich environment. This was all made possible by a dedicated IT staff on call 24/7, aiding teachers every step of the way. My students, in turn, received the full benefit of this system with their marks uploaded weekly, behaviors tracked school wide instantaneously, and access to teachers granted through an excellent interconnected system. ABS is a school constantly adapting for an evolving pedagogical landscape."

Tom - Teacher 

 

"Working 2 jobs and being a mother of 3 kids has been absolutely an easy task, a few of the reasons being that ABS is well resourced, every class is digitally linked via a local and an online network which makes it easy for me to get my work done at school. What's even better is working at The After School Learning Center, I can have the flexible hours I want and no plans! When you love your work you no longer have to work for a living. And I'm doing exactly that!"

Iram - Teacher

 

"The Promethean Active classroom is more than just a presentation system. The components are totally integrated. It is cohesive teaching solution that is easy for teachers and students to use. In addition, I am able to create exciting, interactive lessons in a fraction of the time required using traditional methods. The Promethean solution does so much more! I love using the advanced Promethean tools to enhance how I teach. Incorporating multi-media and handheld student response devices are just a few of the ways to focus student attention. The ability to create more engaging lessons increases participation, improves learning and reduces discipline problems. Learning becomes fun, and effective!"
