Our school is international in its students and in its variety of teachers mainly British staff and French for the French Department, Arabic teachers for  the Arabic and Islamic Departments.

We like to build a community gathering people from different cultural backgrounds in which everyone recognizes a common humanity and destiny.  Our students learn and understand that we are living in a fragile, limited, interdependent world and in a permanent mutation.

We believe that our students from different origins and different nationalities benefit from members of staff also from different cultures with wide professional experience.

The school recruits teachers and staff who offer this experience and tries to give them conditions of work which can help them to allow students to achieve their full potential.

Students who come to KNES often go somewhere else to continue their studies according to activities of their parents.  we have to take this factor into account for their future adaptation to be easier.

In brief we consider the following points as part of our mandate:

• To develop the respect of the fundamental values such as truth, trust, integrity, justice and respect for others and respect for their well being.

• To develop in each student verbal and written skills.

• Within the limits of the syllabus and the resources of the school, to try to develop the students intellectual, physical and social abilities.

• To promote in each student a spirit of enquiry, a spirit of analysis and a sense of criticism in order that within the conflicting ideologies of our modern world and the plethora of information, they succeed in making up their own personal opinion.

• To try to give enthusiasm to students to study and to let them learn by themselves (to learn how to learn).

• To train students in experimental methods and in observation: to look for information (facts), to investigate and to explain.

• To make sure that the body and mind are one, (a healthy mind works only with a healthy body).

• To make sure that each student is aware of the fragility of our environment.

• To instil in each student a sense of loyalty to his/her peers and to the school.

• To educate students in the importance of social contribution, in order to prepare them to be useful members of the community.

• In all activities, to encourage respect for diversity of cultures within the school and the world in general, in a word to promote the spirit of tolerance and to promote necessary spirit for cooperation in general, and for peace.
