About international schools in Ahmedabad, India

Ahmedabad’s international-school scene now includes a mix of schools offering International Baccalaureate and Cambridge (IGCSE/AS-A Level) pathways alongside a number of Indian-board schools that also run international streams, so families can choose between inquiry-led or subject-led routes. English is the usual medium of instruction, with Gujarati and Hindi commonly taught as additional or mother-tongue languages and some schools offering European languages as well. Annual fees vary widely across the city - some international-chain campuses publish tuition in the region of ₹70,000 a year while established private day schools commonly charge several lakhs a year - and published figures often exclude transport, uniforms and exam fees. Academic calendars and admissions rhythms differ by school (some follow the India April - March cycle, others an August - June international calendar), so start enquiries at least 9 - 12 months before your intended start date and confirm age-points and paperwork directly with each school.

FAQs for India

What international curricula are available in Ahmedabad and how do they differ?
Most international schools in Ahmedabad offer the IB (PYP/MYP/DP) or Cambridge programmes (IGCSE and AS/A-Level), and some schools run these alongside Indian boards such as CBSE or the Gujarat board. The IB is organised as a continuum emphasising inquiry, interdisciplinary learning and an extended-essay type project in the Diploma Programme, while Cambridge/IGCSE is subject-based with externally graded exams at key stages; CBSE follows the Indian national syllabus and is often chosen for its alignment with Indian higher-education entrance patterns.
What is the language of instruction and will my child be taught Gujarati or Hindi?
English is the primary medium of instruction at most international schools in Ahmedabad, and schools commonly provide Gujarati and Hindi as part of the language programme or as mother-tongue support for local students. Several IB and Cambridge schools publish formal language policies that combine English instruction with compulsory or optional regional languages, and some also offer European language options such as French or Spanish at secondary levels.
How much should we expect to pay each year for an international-style education in Ahmedabad?
Published annual tuition in Ahmedabad varies substantially between schools and streams: for example, fee schedules from some international-chain campuses show figures in the lower-lakhs range per year, while longer-established day schools that offer IB or Cambridge pathways often publish fees of several lakhs per year for older grades. Remember that many published tuition figures do not include transport, enrichment programmes, uniforms, exam entry or one-time admission charges, so ask schools for a complete first-year cost estimate.
When should we apply and what ages/entry points do schools accept?
Entry points generally start at pre-school (around age 3 - 4) and continue through primary, middle and senior secondary years up to age 17 - 18; exact age cut-offs and year-group mappings are set by each school. Academic calendars and intake windows differ - some schools follow the India April - March year while others align with an international August - June cycle - so begin researching and submitting applications roughly 9 - 12 months before the date you need a place and check whether entrance assessments or interviews are required.
Do international schools offer boarding or transport options for families new to the city?
Most international and internationally-branded schools in Ahmedabad operate as day schools and provide organised bus services with set routes and safety measures, while a smaller number operate as day-cum-boarding or fully residential campuses. If you are relocating, ask shortlisted schools about pick-up/drop-off routes, supervised after-school care, and any residential arrangements or educational guardianship requirements well before your move.
