International Curriculum International Schools in India

International-curriculum schools in India are concentrated in major cities and offer programmes designed for internationally mobile families, most commonly the International Baccalaureate (IB), Cambridge IGCSE/A-Levels and a smaller number of American-style or Advanced Placement tracks; many schools also operate dual registrations with Indian boards. English is the primary medium of instruction across this sector, with Hindi or the local state language and options such as French, Spanish or Mandarin commonly offered as second or modern foreign languages. Fees vary widely by city and school tier - mid-range international schools often charge several lakhs of rupees a year while premium IB/IGCSE schools can be substantially more expensive - and families should budget separately for transport, exams and extracurriculars. Admissions follow an annual cycle with main intakes set well before the new academic year; relocating families normally need to start enquiries and applications many months ahead and expect entrance assessments and an interview as part of selection.
