The Supervisory Board WordIn the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful and,

May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Mohammad, the greatest of all prophets.

The sculpting of a human’s brainpower, emotions and conduct is a mandate in our civilized world. Based on this very concept Al- Ruya Bilingual School was established in 1996. Thanks be to Allah who enabled the school’s owners, teachers and administrators to work as a unified team in order to achieve a great goal which is producing a civilized human being. One who implants goodness and who is productive and useful wherever he settles and wherever he travels. Accordingly and for all the previous reasons, RBS did seek and obtain the accreditation of the Council of International Schools (CIS) in 2008, and to renew it in 2012.

RBS’ higher administration makes sure that its staffs which are highly competent and experienced having been recruited from various parts of the world. Staff are capable of applying the newest educational methodologies, with the target being a graduate who is updated about the latest scientific developments. The school also makes sure that its teachers, administrators and students are pointed out for their high morals and good values, as we believe that these are the foundations of any valuable and constructive knowledge.

Finally, thanks be to Allah, that our graduates are well recognized by most universities, inside and outside of Kuwait, and they are also distinguished by their performance when joining the world of business.

By Allah’s help and the support of the members of the school community, RBS will be able to provide the highest and best educational services that there can be to its students. We believe that distinguished teachers and a distinguished administration can, by Allah’s wish, produce and shape distinguished students. We also believe that in order for any team to be successful, its members should collaborate and integrate their efforts, adopting the following Hadiths: “Everyone is employed to what he was created for” and “Allah’s hand is with the group”.

In closure, all that we do in RBS is sprouted from the wisdom of this aya: “Indeed, Allah only accepts from the righteous [who fear Him]”

Nusaiba Abdul Aziz Al-Mutawa

Chairman of the Supervisory Board

A Word from RBS Director


In the name of Allah, and thanks be to Him for all of His uncountable and numerous gifts, and I testify that Allah is the only God, and that Mohammad is His prophet.

On behalf of the school’s Administration, I would like to welcome you to Al-Ru’ya Bilingual School (RBS) and wish you a successful year.

RBS was founded in 1996, and after twelve years of delivering the best bilingual education that can be to the local community, it was recognized and accredited by the Council of International Schools; in 2008.

RBS is a bilingual school. Its curriculum is delivered in two languages; Arabic and English, throughout the school levels; K-12. RBS is distinguished by its pastoral program “Ruya Tarbawiay” which is a behavioral and educational curriculum derived from the Islamic values and concepts that are based on scientific knowledge. The school’s second distinction lies in the fact that it teaches the Quran and the science of tajweed and concepts of tawheed. By that, RBS was the first sole bilingual and Islamic school in Kuwait.

Based on the school’s policy and goals to always progress and develop performance, the school is on a constant search for recruiting the best administrators and teachers. The new staffs’ expertise will add to the valuable efforts of the current staff and they will both work as a cooperative and integrated team. Thus, I would like to welcome the newly hired teachers and wish them the best, and thank the teachers of RBS who proved to serve the school with loyalty and devotion, hoping that both teams will join efforts for the benefit of our students.

One of the school’s goals is to improve the teaching-learning process by utilizing differentiated instruction and the multiple-intelligences theories. Our aim is to transfer from teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning and to create a more flexible and stimulating learning environment that enhances the students’ decision-making and problem-solving skills.

We hope we can join hearts and efforts to best serve our students, the community, Islam and the Islamic nation.

Please do not hesitate to communicate your concerns and inquiries to me.

Zahra Talal Al-EssaRBS Director

A Word from the MHS Principal - boysIn the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful and,

May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Mohammad, the greatest of all prophets.

It gives me a great pleasure to welcome RBS parents to the new school year 2015/2016. I ask Allah, Almighty, to make it a year full of goodness and a year of victory to Islam and Muslims. I would advise our students to be loyal and sincere to Islam and to their country that gave them a lot. As students, you should be diligent and perseverance in order to achieve and attain the highest scores and levels; in this world and the hereafter. I would like to thank and to recognize all RBS staff and those in charge of this educational edifice.

Dear Parents,

Via this venue, I would like to send you three messages.

The first message: a promise that we will work with all of our energy and potentials to maintain the esteemed reputation of RBS by ensuring that the outcomes of our school shall be recognizable and honorable. Our students shall be the example of good citizens who work towards the progress of this great country.

The second message: a promise to the parents who entrusted their children to us, that their children shall be educated in a safe and nurturing environment and that you will see real positive change in the thinking of your children, and their behavior and attitudes. This change will make them capable of successfully making their way in life armed with innovative ideas, high morals and scientific thinking. I urge you, as guardians and caretakers, to always communicate with us, as home-school cooperation is always in the benefit of your children. To you, our hearts and minds are widely open.

The third message: a promise to our students to provide them with the best educational care that can be, and to ensure them a healthy and caring atmosphere, where every day they spend in the school is a happy and fruitful day, full of love, activities and team-work. We will seek to ensure a healthy teacher-student relationship that is so positive that it will result in creating model students who are keen to do their assignments and daily study with enthusiasm, who love their school and committed to preserve its environment and who contribute effectively and actively in its various activities and events and, thus, the name of RBS will always be recognized as a school of elite and in the lead. To make RBS a school that graduates individuals who are essential for the advancement of Kuwait.

I ask Allah to bless Kuwait to continue to be a notable country, and to help us do our work for his sake.

Example:

Earning the grade of "A" in a subject at the end of the year is equivalent to (4) points in a (1) credit subject. So, the actual number of points that the student has earned in this subject are: 4 x 1 = 4 points.

If the student got an (A) in a (0.5) credit subject, the actual result will be: 4 x0.5 =2 points.If the student got an (A) in a (0.25) credit subject, the actual result will be:4 x 0.25 = 1point.

4..6 University Preparatory TestLevel Tests:

R.B.S. takes upon itself the responsibility of preparing its graduating students to meet the challenges of higher education. In addition to the graduation requirements, the school trains students to undertake ability tests in English, Arabic, mathematics and chemistry conducted by Kuwait University, and students must perform all or some of them based on the requirements of the college they chose to apply for. These results will be used to calculate an equivalent mark that will be considered for acceptance into the different colleges.

Students are required to undertake standardized tests for college admissions inside and outside of Kuwait. Such tests are the TOEFEL, SAT1 and SAT2, which are required for college admission by many colleges and universities of the world.

4..7 Evaluation System for MS and HS:The policy of the school adopts a system of continuous evaluation throughout the year. Students receive four reports cards; one at the end of each quarter.

1. Daily work:It is the sum of a continuous evaluation during the semester to include student activities, both inside and outside the class; project preparation, research and reports, as well as oral and written tests and practical applications.

2. Quizzes:Quizzes are short assessments that offer students the opportunity to evaluate their understanding of the content before more inclusive assessments such as tests and examinations.

3. Tests:Students write an average of two tests a quarter in order to demonstrate a strong grasp of the material taught in the quarter.


4. Examinations:Examinations take place twice a year. Following the second quarter, are the midterm exams which are worth 30% of the semester grade. After the conclusion of the fourth quarter, the final exams take place and they are worth 30 % of the second semester.

Maximum mark in all subjects is 100%, and the minimum for passing is 60%. The final 1st semester exam covers material given in the first semester, and

the final 2nd semester exam covers material given in the second semester only.

Nevertheless, in some subjects like Math or some areas like grammar, some concepts that are taught in the second semester might be based on concepts given in the first semester. Thus, the second semester exam will also include these.

4..8 Progress Reports Given to weak students who need extra support in some skills. Can be viewed online twice a year during the middle of the 1st and 3rd quarter.

4..9 MS/HS Make-up Tests – during the quarters Absent students with legitimate excuse will have the chance to be assessed. Make-up tests are given once a week or as required. Usually, tests are given on

Thursdays, after school, and quizzes are given during the recess on a normal school day. Students can do their make-up tests provided that they do not exceed two tests in a day.

Students have only two opportunities to make up a missed test.

4..10 MS/HS Make-Up Exam – Mid Term and Final If a student is legitimately absent during the Mid Term or Final Exam for one or

more subjects, she/he can make it up immediately the week after the exams. If a student is illegitimately absent, the grade of the Mid Term or Final Semester

Exam will automatically be zero. Nevertheless, the earned grades during the semester will be counted.

4..11 Middle/High School Rules and Regulations for Semester Exams: Students should arrive to school early. Students should be prepared for the exam and have all their materials and

stationery with them. Any student coming after 8:00 am will not be allowed to enter and may sit the

make-up exam. Lost time will not be compensated. Students are not allowed to go out of the examination hall while the exam is still

in session. Any attempt to communicate with other students (talking, gesturing,

exchanging items/notes, looking at their paper or using any electronic equipment, such as calculators, diaries, mobiles) is considered active cheating.


Students are not allowed to bring in text books, notebooks or any other related materials to the examination hall; everything should be kept outside.

Thus, the parent takes complete responsibility for his/her child absence and for what is missed from lessons and tests/exams. If the parent repeatedly pulled his/her child out of the school during the day, the school has the right to consider the student’s absence from school as an illegitimate absence. If a parent pulled his/her child from school during the day for a doctor’s appointment and failed to submit a legitimate doctor’s appointment paper on the next day, then the student’s permission to leave the school is considered illegitimate. Students are responsible to make up any missed work. The school reserves the right to deal with cases on an individual basis.

Only the Principal or the VP has the right to give permission to a student to leave the school during the school day, provided that the parent gives his/her approval (personally, by phone, in writing).

The school is not responsible for re-explaining missed lessons or re-giving missed exams/tests. The student’s registration in the school for next year will be re-considered.
