About A'Takamul International School
A’Takamul International School was to create a synergy between modern, western education with Islamic values and Kuwaiti traditions. The school’s idea is embedded in its name. The word A’Takamul is an Arabic word, meaning "Integration". The founders of ATIS believed that the most successful way to provide the best American curricula to the children of Kuwait was to base it in their own culture and ethos.
