International Schools in Lucknow, India

Lucknow’s international-school scene is a mixed landscape: a small number of schools are authorised or working towards International Baccalaureate programmes, several city campuses offer Cambridge IGCSE/A-level pathways, and many established private schools continue to operate on Indian boards (CBSE or ICSE) while offering “international” sections or foreign-language options. Instruction is overwhelmingly English-medium; Hindi remains widely taught as a compulsory or second language and many schools offer a third language option such as Sanskrit, French, German or Spanish. Published annual tuition figures for schools that describe themselves as international typically fall in a broad band of roughly INR 100,000 - 500,000, with additional one-time admission charges, transport and activity costs often added on. Admissions usually open in the months before the Indian academic session (most commonly an April - March cycle), so expect application windows, readiness assessments and interviews in the January - March period and different intake dates where a British or other foreign calendar is used.
