EPG (formerly known as The English Playgroup) EPG English Playgroup Kuwait is one of the largest early-years and school education providers in Kuwait — a family-owned Kuwaiti educational company established in 1975, now positioned as the market leader in Kuwait’s Early Years sector, with more than 27 Early Years locations plus dedicated Primary and Secondary campuses in Salwa, Salmiya, and Sabah Al Salem.
EPG: scale and curriculum
Across its full network, EPG serves over 8,000 children from 9 months to 13+ years old — a genuinely large operation compared to most other nurseries covered in this guide series, most of which run a single campus. The curriculum follows the British National Curriculum throughout: the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) as a play-based curriculum for children aged 9 months to 5.5 years, transitioning to the National Curriculum for England at Primary and Secondary level. EPG’s Primary and Secondary campuses have been members of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) since 2016 — an independent accreditation worth knowing about if formal quality benchmarking matters to your decision, since not every nursery-to-school pathway in Kuwait carries this kind of external certification.
EPG describes its mission as enabling children to become “the best they can be,” with facilities — classrooms, libraries, technology rooms, and play areas — specifically designed around Early Years and Primary/Secondary age groups, alongside extra-curricular activities including swimming, educational trips, and an After School Club.

Finding your nearest EPG branch
Given EPG operates from more than 27 separate Early Years locations across Kuwait, alongside its dedicated Primary and Secondary campuses, the right branch for your family depends entirely on where you live. Rather than treating one address as “the” EPG location, contact EPG directly to find your nearest Early Years centre, or to enquire about the Primary/Secondary campuses specifically in Salwa, Salmiya, or Sabah Al Salem.
