A brand-new IB candidate school in Whitefield's EPIP zone, opened with the early years and primary first and a stated plan to grow to a full PYP-MYP continuum. Fees from around 5.8 to 12.8 lakh.

Founded by Ritu Dubey and positioned as an inquiry-led IB primary, the campus sits behind KTPO in Sonnenahalli. The school is in IB candidacy rather than authorised, which is the standard route for a new PYP, but means the first cohorts are part of getting the programme off the ground.

Numbers are tiny so far and there is almost no independent parent voice yet. The handful of early reviews are positive on warmth and the considered design of the early years space, which is genuinely better resourced than most new Bangalore openings. The honest read is that this is a leap of faith for early adopters, with the gamble being that a thoughtful founder team and IB intent translate into a settled secondary school by the time today's nursery cohort gets there.
