- The school's public materials do not publish a public, itemised tuition schedule listing tuition for every year group for the 2025/26 or 2026/27 academic year. Tuition amounts by year group are provided on request through the school's admissions/finance channels rather than published as a full public table. For that reason, specific per-term and per-year numeric tuition figures for the 2026/27 academic year (or 2025/26 where 2026/27 is not available) are not included here.

Typical billing schedule and payment terms
- An advance payment (which includes the non-refundable registration fee) is required before the start of the academic year; the school's published schedules show that advance payments are due in early August for the new academic year. Failure to settle the advance payment by the due date results in automatic cancellation of the registration.
- Early Years payment pattern (published sample): an advance payment followed by monthly instalments (7 instalments due on the 1st of each month from October to April) is used for Early Years branches.
- School-level payment patterns (published sample years) have used an advance payment followed by either two or more instalments over the academic year (example historic patterns show an advance payment plus two subsequent instalments for some school phases). Exact instalment amounts and dates are set per academic year and per year group.
- Late-start discounts and sibling discounts are applied according to the school's published discount policy: a sibling discount of 10% applies; students starting mid-year (example policy year) have been eligible for a stepwise late-start discount (examples show up to 35% for starters from 1 January). All discounts apply only on completion of the academic year.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- EPG operates Early Years, Primary and Secondary day-school campuses and playgroups; no boarding provision or boarding fee schedule is published for EPG. Boarding is not applicable to EPG's published school offerings.

Other costs and fees
- Inclusions: published fee policies state that standard tuition covers school supplies, books, educational trips, breakfast/snacks or meals (where stated), and specified school-uniform items (Early Years materials are shown as including six pieces of uniform). These items are therefore normally not charged separately as a basic extra.
- Transport: transport is offered as a chargeable service. Published transport documents and sample financial forms show annual transport fees with different bands for distance and route type (historical examples list two-way and one-way annual transport fees and a typical payment schedule for transport). Transport registration and its registration fee (distinct from school registration) are treated separately and transport cancellation rules apply.
- After-school clubs, summer camp and other optional activities: these are offered for an additional fee (examples in published materials show summer-camp programme fees and separate charges for optional activities). Optional-programme charges are billed separately from standard tuition.
- Stationery / exam / certification fees: while standard supplies and some book packs are included in tuition as noted above, externally administered examination or certification fees (for international exam series at secondary levels) and some optional activity-specific costs may be charged separately where applicable. (Such charges are set per year/assessment and per student.)

Refund and cancellation terms
- The registration fee and application fee are treated as non-refundable in normal circumstances. Published cancellation rules allocate tuition liability to fixed thresholds as the year progresses: roughly one-third of total tuition becomes payable from early September, two-thirds from early December, and the full tuition liability from early March in the relevant academic year. The student account is closed from the date the school receives the cancellation request.
- Early Years sample financial agreements show that refunds (where applicable) are payable after deducting non-refundable registration amounts and charges covering attendance up to the cancellation date and, in some cases, the cost of uniform or other recoverable items. Transport registration fees are also classed as non-refundable in the transport agreements.

Fee payment options (credit card / bank transfer / other)
- The school's publicly published admission and fees documents and the registration-fees process materials do not list a single public, comprehensive list of accepted payment methods (for example: specific references to ‘‘credit card'' or ‘‘bank transfer'' as standard payment channels are not published in the publicly-available fee-process documents). Specific accepted payment channels and instructions are handled through the school's admissions/finance process.

Key administration and contact details for fee queries
- EPG's published fee-process materials direct parents to the school's central hotline and administration for full, current tuition schedules and queries. The published central contact number for admissions/fee enquiries is 1811811; the general email contact shown is info@epg.edu.kw. Use these contacts for official, up-to-date per-year / per-year-group fee schedules and payment instructions.

Summary of available public information and limits
- The school publishes clear procedural rules: application fee (100 KWD), registration fee (100 KWD) included in the advance payment, standard inclusions (supplies, books, trips, meals, uniform), transport and optional-programme charges, sibling and late-start discount rules, and a defined cancellation / tuition-liability schedule. However, the school's public materials do not publish a single, itemised tuition table for each year group for the 2025/26 or 2026/27 academic year; the school states that detailed tuition amounts by year group are provided on request through admissions/finance. Because the site's public fee-process documents do not contain a full per-year-group numeric fee table for 2025/26 or 2026/27, specific per-term and per-year numeric tuition amounts cannot be listed here.

Governance and Ownership

Established in 1975, EPG is The English Education Providers Group (EPG) WLL, a Kuwaiti-based organization with over 30 locations in Kuwait. It provides Early Years through Secondary education in a bilingual English-Arabic curriculum, with Arabic and Islamic content aligned to the Ministry of Education. EPG is a COBIS-accredited member since 2016.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Well-being is at the forefront of the curriculum, and promoting good mental health is a priority. The school helps children understand their emotions and feelings. Children are supported to feel comfortable sharing concerns or worries. They are helped to form and maintain positive social relationships. Self-esteem is promoted and children know that they count. Children are encouraged to be confident and to 'dare to be different', and to develop emotional resilience to navigate setbacks.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

EPG follows the Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum for England, carefully adapted to local customs and Ministry of Education requirements. The Early Years Foundation Stage sets the standards for early years learning. A bilingual approach delivers English content alongside Arabic language content, aligned with MOE Arabic and Islamic Curriculum.

Admissions

1) Determine the program and branch. EPG provides Early Years, Primary, and Secondary education at multiple campuses in Kuwait. Early Years serves children from 9 months to 5.5 years. Primary campuses include Salwa, Salmiya, and Sabah Al Salem, and Secondary education is hosted at a purpose-built Salwa campus, delivering the English National Curriculum with Arabic content aligned to the Ministry of Education. 2) Book an assessment for the child. Prospective families use the Early Years Assessment Booking for younger children or the Primary/Secondary School Assessment Booking for older students. The Early Years form requests the child's full name, date of birth, gender, Civil ID number, branch, and preferred date and time for the assessment. Similar information is requested for the Primary/Secondary assessment, enabling the school to arrange the evaluation. 3) Complete the Registration Process and Fees structure. If the assessment confirms eligibility or a place is offered, families complete the steps outlined in the Fees Structure and Registration Process to finalize enrolment. The Fees and Registration section provides the required steps and documents to secure a place. Registration culminates in formal enrolment at the selected EPG school. 4) Begin attendance at EPG after registration. The school begins the child's learning journey in the chosen program and campus according to the established timetable. EPG emphasizes bilingual delivery with English-language curriculum content and Arabic language content integrated with the MOE; students have access to a range of subjects and activities.
