It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.

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).

The per-term numbers are presented for convenience and are calculated values, not an official school breakdown.

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.
Summary and note on data year
- The tuition amounts above are the published annual totals for the 2025/2026 academic year; a per‑term division is provided above as a calculated convenience (annual ÷ 3) because a term‑by‑term schedule and explicit payment method list were not published in the available fee material. The registration fee of KWD 100 with application and the requirement to pay by the invoice due date are published items.
