Superintendent's Message

Ten years old! Ten years can be a short time or a long time but in ACA's case, ten years is a life time!

ACA was the idea of a group of parents who wanted the benefit of an American education while holding fast to the Islamic traditions and values. In 1997, ACA opened its doors to 700 students from KG to grade six. The current Girls' Campus premises housed all of the students. Within a short time we outgrew the original structure; the campus was expanded and a swimming pool was built to provide additional educational opportunities to our students. As we continued to increase our student enrollment the need for additional space was evident and the Boys' Campus was formed.

As one can imagine operating two campuses, although in close proximity, creates many opportunities and challenges. During the last ten years we have achieved many goals, including increased enrollment, dual accreditation, and continuous improvement of our program of studies and facilities. We are active participants in the Model United Nations program, both locally and abroad. We have excelled in our sports program whereby we are not only competitive but we are champions of the Kuwait league. We proudly display our Islamic heritage and values by, among other things, hosting the annual Koran Recitation competition and perform a Hajj presentation to help our students better understand this very important pillar of Islam.

Many of the staff members that helped open the doors in 1997 have remained with us during these ten years and have witnessed our many achievements. They have been the cornerstone of our success and I would like to acknowledge their commitment to ACA.

If the first ten years of operation is an indication of ACA's success, then our goals to deliver the best education in the Middle East is our continued commitment. We look forward to providing our students with a high tech educational experience that embodies all the challenges of a world class education. Our future looks bright and promising. Please join me in celebrating ACA's successes and commitment.

Sincerely

Dr.E.W.Vincent.
