Canadian Bilingual School
High school years are those 4 memorable life-changing years in everyone’s life. Here at CBS, we work hard to ensure our high school students (Grades 9-12) have the best academic experience and career guidance to make sure they achieve their goals and succeed in higher education and life. Our students are challenged to think critically and creatively through the balanced curriculum and extra-curricular activities.
At CBS, our students learn to recognize the connections between academic disciplines and applications to the outside world. Skills and concepts are not taught in isolation, students and staff collaborate to form a highly connected community of learners.
CBS adopts an American based curriculum in Math (Calculus and Pre-calculus), Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics), English, Business subjects, Pe and Art. We follow the Kuwaiti Ministry of education curricula in Arabic, Islamic and Kuwait Social Studies.
At CBS, we encourage all students to get involved in extra-curricular activities where it is sports, after-school clubs, student council, or involvement in other CBS and community activities that can help students grow emotionally, socially, and physically
The guidance counselor conducts an information session with students and parents regarding the importance of marks accumulating towards graduation from Grades 9-12 and regarding the completion of Community Service Hours.
