International Schools in Bangalore

Ages 3-18 · IB · North Bangalore · ~600 students

Stonehill is the right call if you're near the airport corridor or relocating to North Bangalore and want a school that feels genuinely international rather than majority-Indian. Class sizes stay small, pastoral care is noted by most families as a real strength, and university placement results are strong.

Ages 3-18 · IB · Sarjapur · 1,100+ students

Indus suits families who want a serious IB school with room to breathe outside the classroom - the 40-acre Sarjapur campus and leadership programme genuinely set it apart. Ask about teacher turnover and how the boarding and day communities mix.

Ages 2.5-17 · IB · Sarjapur Road · ~800 students

Oakridge is the best-value entry point to a serious IB school on the Sarjapur corridor - fees are lower than most competitors and the Nord Anglia network adds genuine extras that most Indian IB schools cannot offer. Worth comparing directly with TISB and Indus if you're in that part of the city.

Ages 3-18 · IB, Cambridge · Whitefield-Sarjapur Road · ~1,170 students

TISB is Bangalore's most academically serious IB school - the 2025 Diploma cohort included students hitting 45, 44, and 43 - and the valley campus is unlike anything else in the city. It suits high-achieving students who know they want universities abroad.

Ages 3-18 · IB, Cambridge · Yelahanka · ~700 students

If you're on a corporate package and want a genuinely international community, CIS is the obvious first call in Bangalore. Self-funding families should weigh the fee trajectory carefully - fees rise at least 5% per year.

Ages 3-18 · Cambridge, IGCSE · Whitefield-Sarjapur Road · ~1,250 students

If you're on the Sarjapur-Whitefield corridor and want the highest-rated day school in India without boarding costs, Inventure is the strongest option in Bangalore right now. The #1 national ranking is backed by consistent sports results and a well-designed IGCSE-to-A Level pathway.

Ages 3-18 · IB, Cambridge · Electronic City · ~800 students

Candor is the best option south of the city if Electronic City or Bannerghatta Road is your corridor - the 25-acre campus, boarding option from Grade 5, and triple accreditation (IB, Cambridge, CIS) cover most family requirements at fees that undercut the north Bangalore IB schools meaningfully.

Ages 3-18 · IB, Cambridge, ICSE · Sarjapur Road · 2,000+ students

Greenwood High is the most accessible route into international curriculum schooling in Bangalore - fees sit well below the full IB schools and the dual-track model means you can start ICSE and switch to IGCSE without changing school. If your child is exam-focused and value matters, it's a serious option.

Ages 3-18 · IB, Cambridge · Sahakar Nagar

Trio is one of the few genuinely affordable IB-plus-Cambridge day schools in north Bangalore with a boarding option - if you are on the Sahakar Nagar or Hebbal side, it deserves a serious look alongside CIS and Stonehill.

Ages 6-18 · Cambridge, ICSE · Yelahanka · ~740 students

Mallya Aditi is the right choice if you want Cambridge IGCSE or ICSE in north Bangalore without the price tag of the large IB schools - the not-for-profit structure keeps fees reasonable and the 40-year track record is genuine.

Ages 6-18 · IB, ICSE · Yemalur

Neev is worth visiting if you are near Airport Road or the eastern tech corridor and want a full IB continuum with a genuine Indian arts and culture thread. The 16-acre campus is excellent; check with parents directly about the teaching consistency before deciding.

Ages 3-18 · IB, Cambridge · Hennur Gardens · ~500 students

BIS is the right school for families who want a genuinely small, long-established international community at a fraction of the cost of the large IB schools. The ESL programme is one of the strongest in Bangalore and the fees leave room in the budget for everything else.
