Founding Father

The late Mr. Saleh Al Meklef, the Founding Father of Kuwait Bilingual School, was a visionary entrepreneur who established KBS in 1998 with a mission to bring high-quality, bilingual education to his hometown of Al Jahra. Beginning with just 45 scholars and three classes, his dedication and leadership transformed KBS into a thriving IB World School serving 2,500 scholars today. His legacy of academic excellence, cultural appreciation, and community impact continues to inspire and guide the KBS community.
