Fees
Application / registration fees - A one-off registration or seat‑reservation payment is required to secure a place. Publicly available listings do not disclose a school‑specific published amount for The English School Fahaheel; many private schools in Kuwait commonly use a non‑refundable registration/down‑payment of KWD 100 as a standard practice.
Tuition fees (annual / by year group) - The English School Fahaheel does not publish a publicly available, itemised fee schedule that lists tuition by individual year groups for the 2026/27 academic year. Third‑party school‑listing sources show differing overall annual figures instead of a full year‑by‑year breakdown: - A school listing shows an overall figure of KWD 2,241 for The English School Fahaheel. - Another directory reports the school's approved annual day‑school fees falling in a range of approximately KWD 780 to KWD 1,968 (this is presented as a range rather than a per‑year breakdown). - Because the school does not publish a detailed per‑grade, per‑term table publicly, exact tuition amounts per year group and per term for 2026/27 (or 2025/26) are not available in published sources.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Private schools in Kuwait commonly operate a multi‑installment billing schedule and require the registration/down payment to reserve the seat; the registration amount is usually deducted from the first installment. Sample schedules used by comparable Kuwait private schools are: first installment due at or before the first day of the academic year (approx. 34% of annual tuition), second installment in the winter term (approx. 33%), and third installment in the spring term (approx. 33%). These practices are widely used across Kuwait private schools and appear in multiple school financial policies. No school‑specific installment dates and percentages are published by The English School Fahaheel in publicly available listings. - Schools typically require full payment or the due installment by the published due date; outstanding balances commonly result in withheld reports/records until fees are cleared (standard practice in the sector).
Boarding fees - The English School Fahaheel operates as a day school and does not offer weekly or full boarding; annual boarding fees are not applicable.
Other compulsory or likely additional costs - Textbooks and curriculum materials: schools in Kuwait routinely charge for textbooks, digital learning resources or a fixed materials fee; The English School Fahaheel does not publish public line‑item amounts for these items. - External examination fees: where IGCSE/other international exam entries apply, examination and registration fees will be charged separately (example Cambridge/IGCSE registration fees are charged per subject). - Uniforms and school supplies: uniform purchase and replacement is a routine additional cost; The English School Fahaheel does not publish a specific uniform price list in public listings. - Transport: if a school bus service is offered by a school, routes and transport charges are normally charged separately; there is no published transport tariff for The English School Fahaheel in the public listings reviewed.
Refund information - Typical private‑school practice in Kuwait is that registration/down‑payments are non‑refundable and that tuition refunds depend on the withdrawal date (with schools applying Ministry‑approved rules regarding prorating or full‑year liability after certain cut‑off dates). The English School Fahaheel does not publish a public, school‑specific refund policy in the sources reviewed.
Fee payment options - Payment methods commonly used across Kuwait private schools include: bank transfer to the school account, bank cheque(s) drawn as instructed by the school, in‑person payment at the school cashier, and online payment portals (credit/debit card or bank transfer) where the school provides a parent portal. No school‑specific payment provider or bank account details for The English School Fahaheel were published in the public listings consulted.
