If the annual tuition above is divided into three equal term payments (illustrative split), the per‑term amounts would be approximately: - KG1 / KG2: KWD 547.667 per term (KWD 1,643 ÷ 3). - Grades 1–4: KWD 696.667 per term (KWD 2,090 ÷ 3). - Grades 5–8: KWD 845.000 per term (KWD 2,535 ÷ 3). - Grades 9–12: KWD 994.667 per term (KWD 2,984 ÷ 3). (These per‑term figures are illustrative examples derived from equal three‑way splits of the annual tuition; the school's published billing practice requires the first installment before term start and collects remaining instalments according to its schedule.)

If the registrar has any concerns about the student, they contact the school counselor to discuss the candidate with the student. 3. After reviewing the documents for eligibility, the registrar calls the parents and arranges an interview with the Vice Principal and Counselor. 4. The student meets with the Vice Principal and Counselor; if the criteria are met, the student is required to take and pass the Admission Academic test, and if passed, enrollment proceeds. 5. If the student fails the interview, the Counselor informs the parents that they will be notified later about the decision. 6.
