Pre-dating the Iraq invasion of Kuwait, Jabriya Indian School was The New Indian School, registered in Hawally.

During the school's peak days it boasted a student population in excess of 3500 from mostly Indian population. The school also had students from Kuwait, Hungary, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh,Afghanisthan,Iran(Chitori kabuz), nadas etc. 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 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. A particular feature of this school is the presence of a large number of non-Indian students who gain an insight into Indian culture.
