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 student, mostly of Indian nationality. The New Indian School, following the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi) syllabus, catered to the needs of students by providing classes from Kindergarten to twelfth. The New Indian School ceased to exist after the invasion.
Located in the Baghdad 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.
