International Boarding Schools in India

$16.99

Boarding or residential schools have always been popular with India's upper middle class and elite. Every region in India has some famous residential schools and some are historical favorites all over the country. The recent boom influx of NRIs and foreigners, or expats in India has resulted in emergence of several international schools with global academic curricula.

Traditionally, boarding schools in India were located in picturesque locations. Nainital Dehradun, Mussorie (Uttaranchal), Sanawar (Himachal Pradesh), Darjeeling (West Bengal) and Ooty (Tamil Nadu) are places well known for their illustrious institutions. Schools here have a legacy dating back to over a hundred years.

Residential schools in India which offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma programme include Bangalore International School, Canadian International School, G D Goenka World School, Indus International School, Kodaikanal International School, Mercedes Benz International, Navrachana International, Pathways world, Sharad Pawar International School, The International School of Bangalore, Mahindra United World College, and Vishwashanti Gurukul.

Residential schools which offer the IGCSE curriculum include Riverdale International School, Pathways World School, Woodstock, G D Goenka, TISB, Good Shepherd, Indus International, Parkwood International and Calcutta International. Some schools offer both IB and IGCSE.

There is no periodic ranking for schools in India by any market research or media company. The most recent effort (August 2007) has been a survey by the Indian Market Research Bureau (IMRB) for Education World. This survey does not include the new international residential schools.
