About international schools in Dehradun, India

Dehradun’s international-school scene sits alongside a long tradition of residential and day schools in the Doon Valley, so families will find both city campuses and larger boarding campuses in the Himalayan foothills. Schools in the area commonly offer International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes, Cambridge IGCSE/AS/A-Level pathways and Indian boards (CBSE and CISCE), with English the normal medium of instruction and Hindi plus European languages such as French, German or Spanish routinely taught. Published fees vary widely by type: local day schools and national-board programmes commonly sit in the lower lakhs per year while residential international campuses often charge in the high lakhs to over a million rupees annually. Admissions are handled school-by-school but popular boarding schools open registrations many months before the new session and typically use entry forms, short assessments or interviews and document checks, so begin enquiries well ahead of your move.

FAQs for India

What international curricula are available in Dehradun and how do they differ?
Dehradun schools offer a mix of curricula: the IB, Cambridge IGCSE/AS/A-Level and Indian boards such as CBSE and CISCE are all represented. The IB emphasises inquiry, interdisciplinary learning and a global diploma for 16 - 19 year olds, Cambridge follows a subject-by-subject UK model with IGCSEs at 14 - 16 and A/AS levels thereafter, and Indian boards focus on the national syllabuses that align with local university entry requirements; check each school’s stated assessment and university-entry support.
How much should we budget for school fees in Dehradun?
Fees vary strongly by school type: many day schools and national-board schools publish annual tuition in the low to mid lakhs, while full residential international schools commonly publish annual fees in the high lakhs and some well-established boarding schools show figures above a million rupees per year. Because published charges may bundle tuition, boarding, meals and other levies differently, request a full fee schedule and sample contract from each school before budgeting.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process usually involve?
Timing and process differ by school, but many Dehradun boarding schools open registration several months ahead of the academic session and popular schools recommend parents start enquiries mid-year. Admissions typically require an online or paper application, an assessment or interview (in-person or remote), and standard documents such as birth proof, parent identity and previous school reports, so allow time for document collection and any travel for visits.
What is the language of instruction and which additional languages are taught?
Most international and national-board schools in Dehradun use English as the medium of instruction while Hindi is widely taught as a second language or compulsory subject in earlier grades. Many schools also offer modern foreign languages such as French, German and Spanish from middle school upwards; if mother-tongue or bilingual provision matters to you, confirm the school’s language policy and exam options.
How do ages and stages map to international programmes we may want for our child?
Stage mapping is broadly standard: IGCSE programmes are usually for ages about 14 - 16, IB Diploma for about 16 - 19, and primary/middle international programmes align with the respective school’s grade structure; Indian boards follow similar age-to-grade norms but check each school’s age cutoffs. Many schools publish their age criteria and National Education Policy - aligned entry ages in admissions materials, so request those specifics early to confirm eligibility for your child.
