To the AUS School Community:
Today amid a global pandemic, American United School has prevailed due to the collaborative partnership of our entire school community. We are thankful the Kuwait Council of Ministers gave swift instructions due to COVID-19 to physically close schools to ensure the safety of students, staff and the larger community.
Our school transformation from direct instruction to an e-learning platform where 98.9% of our students completed the school year on June 3rd is a remarkable accomplishment.
An integral part of looking ahead for next year is the valuable input provided from the surveys submitted by students, parents and educators last week. Our school administrative team will use this information to step back and reflect on how to keep students at our center and look at creative ways to support online learning.
It is highly likely that e-learning will remain part of our instructional practice for the future as we transform and reshape learning experiences for students.
We have posted the new academic year calendar on our website and will continue to update the parent portal with current year school closure procedures to include withdrawal, official document pick-up dates, payment notices, computer/materials drop-of, etc. So please check often for new dates and events. In reality, we are uncertain how or when the New Year will begin and will rely on the Ministry of Education for updated guidance sometime in July.
To our parents we are thankful for your calm, for your support, and for your help as we share this experience. As we move forward into the new uncertainty of next school year I know you will continue to be the educational partners that make AUS…a better choice. While we preplan for the probability of a “new normal” for school, we know our guiding principles of learning “anywhere, anytime” frame the core of our school culture and values for now and the future.
To our seniors, we celebrate with you in spirit and not in-person this year. You are the class that graduated and preserved in spite of Coronavirus and the obstacles it placed in your path. As you share your Virtual Graduation Video you will always have the great compliment of knowing you can and did what no other class accomplished prior to 2020. Congratulations on your graduation and best wishes for your next adventure.
AUS is fortunate to have employees that exhibit a dedication to quality education and a commitment to high standards. Together we look forward to welcoming our entire school community to our campus when it is safe for all.
With Thanks to you for your Continued Support and Involvement,
Jennifer J. Beckwith, Ph.D.
Founding Director
