Pre-dating the Iraq invasion of Kuwait, Jabriya Indian School was earlier known as The New Indian School, registered in Hawally. The New Indian School moved to the present building in 1979 from the Bedouin-style building in Khaitan. The school's motto was 'In God We Trust'. During the school's peak days it boasted a student population in excess of 3500 students, mostly of Indian nationality along with Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, and a smattering of Arabs and Europeans. The New Indian School, following the CBSE syllabus, catered to the needs of students by providing classes from Kindergarten to twelfth. The New Indian School ceased to exist after the Iraqi invasion. Located in the Jabriya district of Kuwait, the school was re-founded in September 1993 as the Jabriya Indian School, making it one of the most recent schools in Kuwait to cater to the large Indian community.
