Trio World Academy

A mid-size IB and Cambridge school in Sahakar Nagar, north Bangalore, founded in 2007 and run on a close-knit, community-feel model rather than a sprawling campus model.

Trio runs the IB PYP, Cambridge IGCSE and IB Diploma, with a separate ICSE wing called Trio World School on the same site. The defining feature is scale: small enough that teachers know children individually, parent community is tight, Diploma students get genuine counsellor attention. Diversity is real, with students from over twenty countries, and the school has a working day-and-boarding setup.

Academics and pastoral care draw consistent praise, with caring teachers and a homely feel cited often. Friction sits in the admissions and management layer, with slow admissions response, fee disputes, and limited responsiveness when students struggle academically. Fees run roughly INR 3 lakh to INR 8.75 lakh. Best fit for families who want a more intimate community than TISB or Stonehill, and who accept the back-office experience can be patchy.

• Parent-facing reviews are broadly positive about teacher care, an international curriculum, individual attention, and a warm school community.
• Families frequently describe children settling well, gaining confidence, and receiving support across academics, language, and personal development.
• Negative signal centres on management and fees. A local school review notes concerns about admission fees and slow management responses, while staff comments flag low pay, politics, and limited growth.
