The British School of Kuwait (BSK) is a private, co-educational, international school located in the suburb of Salwa, Kuwait. The school has a selective intake of students aged 4–19. Most teaching programmes are based on the National Curriculum of England. Senior students undertake programmes of study leading to IGCSE, GCSE, and AS/A Level examinations.
Vera Al-Mutawa founded The Sunshine Kindergarten in 1978. This grew to become the Sunshine School. In 1993, the school moved to its present campus, opened to secondary age students and rebranded as The British School of Kuwait. Since 2008, Kindergarten students have been taught in a new building adjacent to the BSK campus, for which the name The Sunshine Kindergarten has been resurrected.
