India International School

A CBSE school in Mangaf established in 2002, recognised by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Private Education and affiliated to CBSE New Delhi. KG through Grade 12, around 2,500 students at full strength.

IIS sits in Block 2, Street 1, Mangaf, in the southern Ahmadi belt where most working-class and middle-income Indian expat families live. Co-educational, English-medium, with classes preparing students for the All India Secondary and Senior School Certificate examinations. Fees run roughly KWD 340 to KWD 488, among the lowest of any school in Kuwait covered here.

The CBSE market in Kuwait is competitive, and IIS sits alongside Bhavans, Carmel, and Indian Central School. Families pick IIS for the location in Mangaf, the lower fees, and the standard CBSE pathway home to Indian universities. Class sizes are typical of the Indian school sector in the Gulf rather than international school norms. Best fit for Indian expat families based south of Kuwait City wanting a CBSE pathway at an affordable price.

• IIS Mangaf opened in 2002 and is one of several Indian-community CBSE schools in Kuwait, sitting alongside Bhavans, IPS Salmiya, ICSK and AIIS. Independent commentary is sparse; some parents identify the school by name without engaging on day-to-day experience.
• The pool of commentary that does exist is short and positive on basics: brief praise of CBSE delivery and a multi-national faculty appears across school listings.
• Ex-teachers describe pay paid on time and a cooperative staff culture, with one ex-teacher framing it as a workable employer in the Kuwait Indian-school market.
• No substantive parent, expat, or teacher commentary surfaces in public searches for IIS Mangaf specifically.
• Public signal is too thin to write more than a sourcing summary; families should treat this as a school where you triangulate with currently enrolled parents rather than rely on published reviews.
