Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition is charged on an annual basis and collected in three instalments for the school year. The instalment schedule and values are administered in accordance with the Ministry's approved fee rules and are collected in advance of each term. Schools are required to collect tuition in three instalments and may not change the number, value, or due dates of those instalments.

- Instalments are typically invoiced before each academic term; nominal rounding may produce one instalment that differs by KWD 1 to accommodate whole-KWD billing. An example split used by other Indian schools in the same fee tier is shown above.

- The Ministry's rules for the 2026–27 year also prohibit withholding educational services, exam access, or academic results to a student solely because of non-payment of fees during the academic year.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not offered at ICSK Amman (the Amman branch operates on a day‑school timetable); therefore no boarding or hostel fees apply. School hours are listed as a day schedule.

Other costs and compulsory extras

- Uniforms: school uniforms are required and are sold through the school's uniform store; uniform costs are charged separately from tuition.

- Transport (school bus): bus/transport is charged separately from tuition and is billed in addition to the amounts above when a family opts in for the service. Transport fees are not included in the tuition figures shown.

- Books, examination fees and other resource charges: textbook, resource and examination fees (including any board/CBSE examination fees where applicable) are additional and billed separately; class‑specific book charges are normally circulated to parents before the start of term.

Refund and withdrawal

- General rule: the Ministry's directives protect a student's access to school services during the academic year even if fees are unpaid. Specific refund or withdrawal terms (refund amounts, deadlines, penalties, or notice periods) are set by the school's financial policy and communicated at enrolment; parents should review the school's financial/withdrawal terms for exact refund conditions.

Fee payment options

- Commonly accepted payment methods for Kuwaiti private schools in the same system include bank transfer, cash payment at the fee counter, and post‑dated cheques (PDCs); some schools also accept online or card payments or payments via the school parent‑portal/app. ICSK follows the same operational model for term billing and instalments used across the Indian school network in Kuwait.

Summary (what is included above)
