CP Goenka International School

CPGIS Oshiwara is the Andheri West campus of the CP Goenka network, opened in 2018 near Income Tax Quarters in Oshiwara. Around 500 students from age 3 to 18 with about 60 teachers, running ICSE and CBSE alongside IGCSE and the IB Diploma.

The CP Goenka group was founded in 2000 by Sandeep and Archana Goenka, with campuses across Mumbai, Pune and Thane. The four-board offering is unusual and lets families switch streams without changing schools. The school sits in the top 10 international day schools nationally and in the top 10 in Maharashtra and Mumbai in EW India School Rankings.

Parents praise modern infrastructure, dedicated staff, and reported pass rates of 100 percent in IGCSE and IB Grade 10 and 12 boards. Critical feedback centres on what you find at most fast-growing Indian international schools: communication consistency and how new staff are bedded in. Best fit for Western Suburbs families wanting board flexibility and a campus that opened recently enough to have current facilities.

• Mumbai parents and students treat CP Goenka as a recognisable IGCSE/ICSE option across its Thane, Oshiwara and Ulwe campuses, with reactions splitting between solid endorsement and bluntly negative.
• Positive voices cite small-class attention. One parent of a kindergartener said "What we liked about the school was the student teacher ratio. This time around they have approx. 23 - 24 kids per division and there are two teachers for every class." Another parent recommended it after seeing administration up close: "I was a visiting doctor at CP Goenka school. Found the administration pretty organized."
• Detractors are sharp. One parent wrote "Cp goenka? Fuck no" and another said "Even CP GOENKA is such a cool name until u see how shitty the school really is."
• Curriculum confusion appears repeatedly. A current student clarified "Cp Goenka thane do not have IBDP, it's only IGCSE and ICSE," pushing back on parents who assumed full IB Diploma access.
• Fee transparency is flagged. One parent said they liked the Thane campus overall "but the secrecy of fees (they show fees there only and don't allow to share it with outside) alarmed something."
• Other parents echo the split: parents praise breadth of co-curricular opportunity but say execution and parent-trustee escalation channels at Thane are weak.
