International Schools in Kolkata, India

Kolkata’s international schools are a small but established sector that mostly teach in English and commonly follow Cambridge (IGCSE and AS/A-Level) pathways and, in a few schools, the International Baccalaureate Diploma; several schools also run Indian-board pathways alongside international curricula. Families should expect Bengali and Hindi to be taught as compulsory or option second languages in younger years, with European languages such as French, German or Spanish introduced from middle school at many schools. Annual tuition varies widely by school and grade but typically falls in the tens to low-hundreds of thousands of rupees per year, with separate one-time admission/registration charges and additional costs for transport, uniforms and external exam fees. Admissions are often capacity-driven rather than tied to a single national deadline, so parents are advised to contact schools early, prepare prior school records and be ready for short assessments and a family interview.
