In brief
Operated by Nord Anglia Education on a 12-acre Sarjapur-Varthur campus near Dommasandra Circle, opened in 2001 and now one of very few full IB continuum schools in the city. Roll around 800.
IB PYP, MYP and DP from age 2 through 18, with a CBSE option at primary as well. DP averages have run consistently above the global average, with school averages around 36 and a tail of strong individual scores in the 40s. University outcomes are real, with regular placements at Cornell, Johns Hopkins, King's College London and similar.
Nord Anglia ownership brings the MIT, Juilliard and UNICEF programmes into the timetable, which families either value as differentiated or quietly ignore. Parent voice on the ground is mostly warm: hybrid handling during covid is still cited, and the breadth of co-curriculars from horse riding to robotics is a draw. Fee range roughly 3.6 to 11.8 lakh. The thing to check on a visit is class size and teacher continuity in your child's specific year group, which has been the inconsistent variable.

Reviews
- Aggregate ratings on Indian directories sit high. The small-sample, in-depth review pool is more critical.
- Academic and infrastructure praise is the dominant positive thread. Parents cite the IB continuum, the Nord Anglia tie-ins, smart classrooms and the campus.
- Teacher turnover surfaces as the most consistent complaint. One review described teachers as continuously leaving and replaced largely by new graduates with limited communication.
- Fees are flagged repeatedly. A recent fee hike following management change is mentioned. Several parents felt the price did not match the experience.
- One long-tenure student described management as poor and recommended against joining. A counter-thread points to top-100 university outcomes for a substantial minority of leavers.
- Themes split cleanly: parents who value the Nord Anglia branding and IB continuum recommend it; parents who prioritise teacher consistency and value tend not to.
