About international schools in India
International schools in India are a diverse group that typically offer internationally recognised programmes - most commonly the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge (IGCSE/A-Level) alongside some schools that deliver American-style or dual Indian/international curricula - and are concentrated in major cities and growing fast into tier-2 markets. English is the usual language of instruction, with schools also offering Hindi or the local state language and additional modern languages such as French, Spanish or Mandarin. Fees vary widely by city, campus and curriculum: a recent survey of published school fees shows a broad middle band with many schools charging in the low hundreds of thousands of rupees per year and headline premium schools charging substantially more, while additional costs for transport, meals, uniforms and exams are commonly billed separately. Academic calendars differ by board and school - many Indian and IB schools run an April - March session, while some British-pattern schools follow a September start - so relocating families should check each school’s current calendar, visa/residency requirements for expatriate children and application deadlines well before a planned move.

Curricula
There are 12 international schools in India covering 14 curricula. The most widely offered are IB (DP) (10), IB (PYP) (7), IB (MYP) (7), Cambridge IGCSE (6), Cambridge (Secondary) (2). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.
Fees & what they cover
Annual tuition across India runs from about INR 6,000 to INR 1,468,250,000, averaging roughly INR 62,511,549. Budget for one-off costs on top — application and enrolment fees, a refundable deposit, uniform, transport and exams.
Admissions & timing
Sought-after schools in India run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.
Boarding
8 of the 12 schools offer boarding — useful if you're relocating or want weekly or full boarding.
How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in India we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
