Good day,

My name is Ahmad and I was offered a job in Kuwait with Rawd Al Saleheen Bilingual school. I'm currently living in Canada and I would
like to know your comment about this school if any of you have worked for it before or even if you have heard anything about it?

Many thanks in advance.

Ahmad.

been here 15 years, never heard of it
BUT i do know there have been 3+ new bilinginual school here in the last 2 years

my philosophy, never accept a job from a new cschool
allow the paint to dry fro several years first

Stay away from this school. It is one of the worst private schools in Kuwait. Anyone who worked there knows it's a NIGHTMARE.

Thank you all for your reply.
Express, can you please tell me how you know it is terrible? Did you actually work for the school or did someone else tell you about it?
I don't want to make the big move from Canada and then find myself in trouble once I get to Kuwait.

Thank you and I truly appreciate your help.

Yes I've worked there myself, but unfortunately this opinion is shared by anyone who has worked there. Most people would be too afraid to say anything bad about this place because the school owner can and will make your life a living hell. Leaving during the trial period is not an option because you wouldn't be paid your ticket back, or any other money you're entitled to. I know some people who weren't given their summer pay, or their ticket back at the end of the period. We are talking about three month worth of salary and a ticket to Canada. The school owner will only pay if you sign a contract for another year.

I have become more cautious and always check out this forum before accepting any offers. If I had known about this forum before, it would have saved me a lot of headaches. The school owner prays on people who really need the job, or don't care to ask the right questions before accepting an offer.

Working at this school is so not worth it. Look for something else. Good Luck Very Happy
