Cons:
- Admin of 2022/23 school year are micromanaging staff, undermining staff, bullying staff, causing several mental breakdowns at work, questioning staff’s qualifications, even though they know that everyone had their resumes and transcripts verified by the Ministry, etc. This year’s admin are advocates of surveillance (through video cameras with sound, which is illegal) and monitoring the teachers’ every move. It is obviously their school, and they shall be free to do whatever they want, however, many teachers did not sign up for a military-strictness like environment when they renewed their contracts half a year in advance (which is the standard in Kuwait).

Pros:
- Salary: Compared to other schools in Kuwait, qualified teachers receive a very good package with benefits. Your degree must match your teaching subject as per Kuwait Labor Laws, otherwise you will not even be issued a work visa.

I used to work for AGS, Qualifications: BA in English, MA in Social Work & Project Management Pros: Salary Cons: If you are a parent, I strongly advise you to avoid this school. Students always do projects, which shouldn’t be the main resource of education. German is the second language, but from Grade 1 to Grade 5, students learn the same lessons. In fact they don’t learn anything. If you are a teacher, I strongly advise you to avoid AGS. The only way to stay in the school is if your friend is a principal, VP or HR, and you also have to be a maniac, gossiper, psychopath, uneducated and not qualified. If you passes all these skills you will be promoted too. Unfortunately, the school dismissed many teachers without any notice period, and they even didn’t not payed us for all tickets that they were supposed to pay according to the signed contracts. New HR forced me to work illegall... read full review
