The American Creativity Academy (ACA) was established in 1997 by a group of visionaries who wanted to create a school in Kuwait which offered a unique blend of American curricula while respecting and practicing local values. The school is fully accredited by the Council for International Schools (CIS)and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools

In 2008, they were approved to give high school students an International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) programme. It is one of only two Kuwaiti schools offering this curriculum. ACA is a physical entity which grows and is mixed. ACA runs two separate campuses in the suburb of Hawalli, minutes apart by car.

The population of students is 100 per cent English Language Learners ( ELL). They deliver a grade 2 to 8 Enrichment Program and a grade 9 and 10 Honors Program. Students entering grade 11 can choose to take part in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, or continue with traditional American education based on standards.

The school population is composed of over 3,500 students and 350 employees. The academic year lasts from September to June, and has a total of 172 days of instruction split into two semesters. Report cards are given on a quarterly basis and classes usually take place from Sunday through Thursday.

The Boys’ Campus is a large compound that holds classes for students in kindergarten (coeducational) all the way up to grade 12. The kindergarten, elementary, middle and high schools all have their own unique building and attributes. Each classroom throughout the compound is well equipped with a smartboard and abundant space and resources that support learning and teaching. Students have the opportunity to display their kinesthetic abilities on the regulation-sized artificial-turf soccer field (positioned at the back of the campus), in one of the three shared courtyard spaces, and on the regulation-sized basketball court (located in the high school building). The Boys’ Campus also contains two spacious libraries, well-maintained science labs, art rooms, and computer labs across all divisions.

The Girls’ Campus of the American Creativity Academy is located on Al Muthana Street. With over 1250 female students from grade 1 to grade 12, the youngest girls can be found on the ground floor and our oldest on the third. There is an auditorium and a large cafeteria, two welcoming libraries, and a well-appointed nurses’ office. The school offers plenty of shaded outdoor recreational space, including a central courtyard for open-air assemblies, regulation-sized soccer/basketball court, outdoor seating and picnic tables, and slides, swings, and climbing equipment for fun-filled recess breaks. The newest addition of a “Garden Oasis” is a special place for students to enjoy their time between classes, or for teachers to utilize to hold class in a relaxed and soothing environment.
