Affordable International Schools in Kolkata, India

Kolkata’s more affordable international schools tend to offer British-style programmes (Cambridge IGCSE/A-levels) or hybrid models that mix international syllabuses with Indian board classes, and they normally teach through English while including Bengali and Hindi in the language programme. Families will find a handful of schools running IB programmes, but fully fledged IB campuses are fewer and often sit at a higher price point; many schools market an “international” pathway by combining IGCSE/ Cambridge stages with Indian senior qualifications. Annual charges for schools described as affordable commonly fall in a broad band around INR 80,000 - 200,000, with better-resourced or long-established international schools frequently charging into the INR 300,000 - 500,000 range; be aware that IGCSE/A-level exam entries or subject fees are often additional and can be billed in foreign currency. The academic year in Kolkata usually runs April - March and admissions tend to open in the late autumn to winter months; most schools ask for a registration form, prior school records, birth proof and immunisation records and will use short in-school or online English/Maths assessments as part of placement decisions.
