History

Vera Al-Mutawa founded The Sunshine Kindergarten in 1978. This grew to become the Sunshine School. In 1993, the school moved to its present campus, opened to secondary age students and rebranded as The British School of Kuwait. Since 2008, Kindergarten students have been taught in a building adjacent to the BSK campus, for which the name The Sunshine Kindergarten was resurrected. In 2013, BSK was accredited as a British School Overseas by the Department for Education in London. This accreditation was renewed in 2016.
