Introduction

Al-Bayan International School (BIS) is a private, non-profit school in Kuwait teaching the American Curriculum to students aged 4 to 18. With a small student body of just 436 pupils, the school caps classrooms at a maximum of 18 students. Each homeroom is assigned a dedicated educational assistant to help teachers provide targeted academic and behavioral support. The curriculum places a heavy emphasis on digital literacy through its required Instructional Technology program. Elementary students begin with touch-typing and basic software applications, while middle and high school students advance to web page design, database creation, and desktop publishing. Non-native speakers receive Resource Room Support, while native speakers take targeted Arabic as a First Language (AFL) classes. Campus infrastructure supports these programs with dedicated computer labs, science labs, a large central sports hall, and two secondary sports halls.

Fees

Annual tuition at Al-Bayan International School ranges from KWD 2,434 to KWD 5,273 for 2026/27.

Application and registration fees

- Application / assessment: an admissions assessment and interview are required as part of the enrolment process; a registration fee of KWD 100 is required with the application.

Tuition fees by year group (annual and calculated per-term)

The published annual tuition for the 2025/2026 academic year is shown below (amounts in Kuwaiti Dinars). Per-term figures in parentheses are calculated by dividing the published annual fee by three (Annual ÷ 3) because a term-by-term breakdown was not published. The per-term numbers are presented for convenience and are calculated values, not an official school breakdown.

- Kindergarten 2 (K2 / age 4): KWD 2,434 (per term: KWD 811.33).
- Kindergarten 3 (K3 / age 5): KWD 2,650 (per term: KWD 883.33).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Parents are required to pay tuition fees on or before the due date indicated on the school invoice.
- The school's published figures are shown as annual tuition totals; a three‑installment structure (September, January and April) is commonly used across American-curriculum schools in Kuwait and is the basis for the per-term calculations above (per-term = annual ÷ 3). Those per-term amounts are calculated values for reference and are not a published BIS schedule.

Boarding fees

- Al‑Bayan International School operates as a day school; there is no boarding provision.

Other costs and mandatory charges

- Uniform: student uniform is mandatory from KG1 through Grade 12. No published uniform price was available.
- Additional costs that families should expect (amounts not published): textbooks and book packs, exam fees (external assessment / university‑entrance testing where applicable), school trips, after‑school activities, and optional or route‑based transportation. These items are commonly charged separately to tuition.

Refund information

- A specific, school‑published refund policy for tuition, registration or other fees was not published in the available fee material. The school requires the registration fee with application; schools in Kuwait commonly treat some application/registration payments as non‑refundable. Where other schools publish explicit deposit/refund rules those vary by school and by timing of withdrawal. The per-term figures above are calculated values and not a statement of refund terms.

Fee payment options

- No detailed, school‑published list of accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, cheque, etc.) was found in the published fee material reviewed. Schools in Kuwait commonly accept bank transfer, cheque and/or card payments. Cheque payment instructions are used by other Kuwaiti international schools.
