PLEASE DON''T !!!
First of all, its a relatively new school, that doesn''t have all the classes established yet.. Their Fahaheel campus is small and they have a branch in Fintas to accommodate the student strength..
The fee structure is absolutely unacceptable.. They collect one of the highest fee in Kuwait and guess what, they take around 200 kd as an admission fee.. (most of the schools collect not more than 20 kd).. This school is building its infra structure with the help of such daylight robberies..
Plus, u gotta pay 15-20 kd for every function thats happening, such as this day, that day etc.. (Even if ur kid is not participating, u have to pay)..
With the amount of money u will be spending this school, u can admit ur kid in DPS or some other good quality schools.. Keep this school only as a laaaast option, if u dont get admission in other schools..
My personal suggestion : DO NOT OPT FOR GEIS FAHAHEEL !

@ sidarth,
Please note can u please explain what is so unacceptable of GEIS.
Regarding the campus size what is got to do with the academics. In fact GEIS is much better than the concrete vertical puzzle that you are talking about like DPS. No air circulation. Not even sunlight comes in the class. A general toilet of 3 or 4 washrooms for 250 students. In GEIS specially the LKG and UKG they have toilet for each class attached with the class itself and airy and lot of sunlight and personally go and see the class rooms. They have maximum 30 in each class. Mostly it is 25 students and 2 teachers + a maid in each class. ( for your kind information their Fintas branch is no longer existing ).
Regarding the classes established they already are till the 6th std and growing. Already they got the Cambridge accreditation. They have both CBSE and Cambridge syllabus. ( no other your so called loving other Indian school has it. ) even if they have the fee structure is sky high which only a parent earning KD 3000 can afford it.
They taking the registration fees you say. The registration fee is not KD 200 but 100 and it is returnable like every school. Yes instead of KD 20 the other school takes from annual day to picnic and every month DPS, and all major schools in Abbasiya and Salmiya will take KD 5 to 10 minimum each month in the name of annual day and this day and this festival and that festival and this cultural competition and that competition which the total will come more than the registration fees that you are talking about in GEIS. And please don’t give big speech about daylight robberies. All the Indian schools are not here for charity. They all grown and establish and school is a business here.

Continued...
GEIS in the very beginning itself tells you that they will be having a annual day and a picnic and one event each year and they may charge approx. KD 50 a year when u meet them initially even before you take the admission. They don’t hide like other schools and take each month 5 and when calculated becomes more. It is like the diesel and petrol prices in India. They increase each day by a paisa and no one calculates that by the end of the year it is double the amount than the petrol prices are hiked by rupees 30 or 40 each year. And fools like you fall for it.
And again please kindly specify what means good quality to you. The DPS that you are so much yapping about I dare you to go and look the language the kids use just by checking their mobile phones. Every 4 words in a sentence will start and end by F@#$ and A@@$%*&. And don’t be surprised indulging in all sorts of activity which is not suited for school going kids.
Last but not the least I can tell you a 100 more things better about GEIS when compared too other schools but time does not permit me to type all that here in IIK. If any one mention their e-mail id OR phone number and I can vouch on GEIS as my own son studying there and I will call you.
@ Sidarth a small advise. When you don’t know about some thing keep your mouth shut and if u dot have any good things to say then don’t blindly criticize.

Is anyone wondering, why there is a sudden spike on School queries ?? it is because of the New academic year that''s about to start? are these genuine parents or School promoters trying to highlight their school Salient features??? well no idea... With all Due respect...
@Proud parent of GEIS - Wish you continued success with the school.. just sharing what i know... - Desi Kids across gulf states use F&B''s like salutations..for that matter, swearing is common even in India now ..just that state syllabus guys are little late on Swearing in English but they do njoy vernacular... - Not paying 5-10 KD every month for Events and stuff... - Education wise... didnt find any difference..its the same...

This proud parent appears to be from the School management. On public forums, people are free to express their opinion. Reaction to criticism that too with such a emotional outcry is unwarranted.

@ Asif Sheikh and Silver beard
When it comes to my son I am emotional so are things attached to his day to day life. Just imagine your child got an admission in LKG. Those are few of the proud moments you rejoice when your child starts going to school.
But what if within a week that school paints your child who is just 4 year old in a way that you can never imagine and that too showcasing in such a way that you can never believe ?? What will be your attitude towards that school who portrays such behavior towards such small kids ?? and then joining GEIS school where the same child is a lead example for others to follow. Just the totally contradictory . Surely you will have a emotional feeling towards such a school.
That’s all. I am no school management and I already mentioned that I am ready to call that person who mentions his phone number in the forum. What more do you want ??
Dear Silver beard,
Education not on a yearly basis or over all may be same but if you consider the day to day life with activities and fun filled syllabus and when a child as small as 4 years looking forward to go to school is not a simple thing where at that age a child usually is reluctant to go to schools. A child is accepted as a real individual and given a lot of respect and love and more importantly if the Director is a doctor in education.

There is no reason for the emotional intimidating outburst either for or against any school. State the differences or positives of any school to the extent you know. Parents of Kids of other schools also are emotional and may also be earning more than 3000 if that is the magic figure.
Our kid will be going to school in DPS and I did not take the bathroom issue into my evaluation. but if there is only 2-4 bathrooms for 250 students, there is an issue. I will be asking the school about this
even if there is sunlight are not all schools airconditioned. I do not know.
If we have to talk about goodness of GIES, it need not be at the cost of DPS or any other school.
Where I work, almost all parents send their kids to DPS and no body specifically told me about relative disadvantages.
Thanks

@Proud parent of GEIS - That''s bad what you have gone thru and no one has to prove anything here...pls dont get emotional... but i liked the way how you put forth that the director is DOCTOR IN EDUCATION..that should make some parents lean towards the school i guess.. i cant say.... but like i said Best of luck..
I guess 90''s kids is over hyped at times.. While we were all awesome,daring and breaking the chains and all...somehow after becoming parents we are too cautious,sensitive and fragile that exposes us to different kinds of Exploitation by the world.. We shld be Strong..make our kids Strong.. Cheers..

@ another parent,
Don’t jump in to conclusions and try be so advising.
Each individual in his own degree can express his views. From my part it was not at all an emotional intimidating outburst. Rather I expressed my views because my fellow mate @ Sidarth blindly criticized without any facts about GEIS just because another parent wanted to know a few details about it and me as a parent whose child study in the same school said the good part about it. Why do think it is an emotional outburst if you feel that is the magical word.
And regarding the salary I mentioned about KD 3000 was just an example to compare that GEIS offered the same facility like the Cambridge Syllabus which a normal lower middle person like me also can afford but the so called Cambridge / American/ Australian schools in Kuwait is beyond the dream of a person like me. ( want to know the fees chart kindly go yourself and find out ).
And if you just felt I enlightened you about the washroom to students ratio and vitamin D which I mentioned it was not for your investigation or Comparison or goodness @ the cost of any school. My reply was to the initial parent whose query was specifically about GEIS and another Person who blindly criticized it. And again all this little points which I mentioned was the little points and plus which I personally being a parent also Consider for my child and I don’t feel the need to consider anyone else emotions.
Please take a second and go through once again when u come across such a thing where your input is required because you being the parent it should be one of the qualities that you should have as a role model to your child.
@ Silver beard,
Thanks very much for understanding exactly I was trying to convey.
I am a behind the screen fan of yours as I keep an update of all your comments in IIK ( more of the political discourse points that you express hahahaha… hope you got it. Key word – Bhakts ).
@ all other fellow readers,
Leave me alone. I am not here for any lookout hunt for the disadvantages / advantages of any school.
I rest my case. Thanks and god bless.

@ everyone who commented and going to comment ( except Silverbeard because he got my message clear )
What probed me to comment in this thread was the query “ Can Anybody tell me about Global English school Fahaheel. If anyones child studying there then please give review about school. I want to take admission for my son in UKG “ by Vipul Agravat.
My reply was exactly and A for an A factor because my son is in LKG and going to be in UKG @ GEIS.
Hope sense prevails when you comment.

Dear Vipul, My Children''s are studying in GEIS, Its a nice school, they focus more on child development, their teaching methods and school atmosphere are quite good. 1 class teachers & 1 mentor in each class. I am earning in 3 digits salary, it takes a chunk of my salary but can manage as its our decision our kids and we cant blame on anyone or the school . For your satisfaction visit the school they don''t hide anything they give a proper break-up and than you can decide. You can meet the Principle Dr. Shobha and clarify your doubts. All the Best

@Proud parent of GEIS - Humbled by your kind words that were specific to my POV on this chaddi menace... Also..while i empathize with you on what DPS did with your child, i feel for @Siddhart''s predicament on fees and xtra charges. We shld give the benefit of doubt to Siddharth as well as the fees were a bit too much... not sure if have disappointed you..

Dear Silverbeard,
I think my message was misread. The registration fees is a one time fees and approx comes to around KD 100.
Forget that. the total school fees of GEIS including the 15-20 KD as a annual function or what ever it is the total comes to just may be KD 100 more than DPS for the whole year. i mean around KD 900 and in DPS i think it is 800.
Anyone in need to know more as @ SR commented meet Dr. Shobha Vadaddi the principal and you an feel the difference in the approach itself.
A graceful lady who is completely transparent and will hide nothing from you let it be the facility of the school, the syllabus or the fees. They have everything in place and still if we complain then the fault is ours.
But i am more than sure in many ways GEIS has their own designed way for child development and more child friendly. And again sorry may be my message was misread. DPS was not the school which did the discrimination to my child. I don''t. want to mention the school name.

I don''t know what the fuss is all about, especially what the Proud Parent of GEIS is blabbering. If you are happy with GEIS, it is good for you. If you want to prove that you can afford GEIS fees, again good for you.
Coming to fees, the fees in GEIS is lower than that of DPS/ Bhavans, so no point bragging on that count. For example, for 6th standard (up to 8th), DPS yearly fee is KD 668 whereas GEIS is only KD 435 (CBSE). Coming to IGCSE, it is good only if you are planning to send your kids overseas for higher education. CBSE is better in India & even abroad (except in UK).
As for the language of the kids, GEIS has students only till 6th standard. There is no point comparing the students of 11 or 12th in other Indian Schools with a student of 6th or lower in GEIS and claiming that they don''t use coarse language.

Wow !!!! Someone just asked a question, one man listed all the negatives and the other one put a lot of efforts and time mixed with a little bit of ego to prove the first one was completely wrong. Wow wow wow !!! Come on guys grow up. Everyone has their own views on any matter and their perceptions and opinions are formed from their past experiences or second hand information passed on by someone else. You don''''t have to be so furious to prove someone else is wrong. If you find the good things, enjoy them and move on. If you find the negatives find the alternatives. Matter of facts there is no such thing as the "best school" in Kuwait. There are differences in many aspects from one to the other. It depends on what you wanna buy for your kid. I am father of two and I have friends who transferred their kids from DPS to Gulf Indian in fahaheel, Carmel to DPS, Bhavans to Carmel, GEIS to DPS, NGIS to GEIS and so on. As I said it is based on their expectations that did not meet in the previous schools or good or bad experiences or for some other reasons. So you cannot basically say this is best or this is bad no never. My two kids are going to two different schools. When you think choosing a school for your kid is part of your esteem you end up choosing a school that you strongly belief is the "Best". A lecturer who teaches in Kuwait university recently told me that If you want your kids to get good teachers send them to Gulf Indian School in Fahaheel as they teach well, even though they don''''t have a big campus or much extra curricular activities. In fact this school is so underrated by many due to the lower fees and the standard of the school building.
In a nutshell higher fees, big campus, new buildings and Doctorate of principal does not necessarily mean is right choice. It is the culture of the management and the values they uphold and pass on to the children that make the difference. Relatively new schools will have its own advantages and disadvantages as well. Also don''''t blindly say that schools are taking money every month for this and that it is baseless. They collect money for any activities like annual day or picnic. Other than that I have never seen they asking for money every month. There may be other activities which are optional for the students to participate. Do some research and talk to some parents and decide what is Your"best" choice, again that doesn''''t mean is the "Best" for everyone.

Halo Human Well said. It is not the matter of where you study. It is the matter of how you study & what you study. Here few were talking about sunlight & natural ventilation. How are they living in the flat? The petrol price is increasing in India Rs 30-40 every year....where it is Rs 30/40 increase ...every year. What non sense is??? What way it is connected with schools over in Kuwait. In this condition KD3000 salaried comparison.
My daughters were studying in GIS from 2002till 2017. I have not changed the School at all though I am eligible to claim school fees from my company. First daughter completed UG in USA and she got placed during peak time of covid19 last year. Now she is enrolled for masters also. Second daughter is doing UG in India and preparing for her masters abroad.
