D.G. Khetan International School, Mumbai | International Schools Guide

DG Khetan is a Cambridge-only school in Malad West, founded in 2006 as the first project of the Nav Chetna Charitable Trust. A coed day school running Cambridge Primary, Lower Secondary, IGCSE and A Level, with separate streams for science, commerce and humanities at the senior end.

The school sits in the Krishna Realties building behind Sunder Nagar off SV Road and the Link Road, drawing from Malad, Goregaon, Kandivali and the wider Western Suburbs. Facilities include physics, chemistry and biology labs, a learning centre, and the Bilasrai Kashinath Gadia A-Level Junior College for the senior years. Fees sit at the lower end of the Mumbai international band.

Parents praise the academic programme, the breadth of extracurriculars, and value for money relative to other international schools in the western suburbs. Critical feedback is uneven, with some families flagging individual teachers in the lower primary years and questions about how some facilities are maintained day to day. Best fit for Malad and Goregaon families who want a straight Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level pathway without the price tag of the BKC schools.

Reviews from parents and students split: one camp describes engaged teachers, an unburdened atmosphere and good value for a Cambridge curriculum at a lower price point than rival international schools in the western suburbs; the other complains of rude or biased teachers and basic facilities issues like non-functioning air conditioning.
The pricing-versus-peers point recurs often enough to read as the school's main draw for middle-class families looking for IGCSE without ICSE-school fees.
Discipline and teacher conduct are the dominant negative theme, with parents using strong language about specific teachers' behaviour toward children.
Some student voices defend strict teachers as having improved their discipline, so the negative signal is not unanimous.
No parent, expat, or community feedback on the school surfaced beyond Indian school directory reviews; all signal comes from that source.

Value for fees. Parents cite Cambridge-curriculum pricing materially below other Western Suburbs international schools as the key reason to choose it.

Atmosphere for students. Some parents describe their children as enjoying school, with cooperative staff and small student-teacher ratios.

Teacher conduct. A persistent strand of reviews describes specific teachers as rude or biased toward children; a smaller strand defends them as strict but constructive.

Facilities upkeep. Parents flag basic upkeep issues, including non-functioning air conditioning in classrooms.
