DSRV Borivali is a Bombay Cambridge Gurukul school established in 1998 in Borivali West, sitting alongside the older DSRV Malad campus founded in 1994. Coed English-medium day school for ages 3 to 16, offering Cambridge International Education from primary through IGCSE alongside the Maharashtra State Board.

The Borivali campus sits in Saibaba Nagar near Mulji Nagar, drawing from Borivali, Kandivali, Dahisar and the wider far-west suburbs. The dual-track structure lets families pick a Cambridge or state board pathway through the school without changing campuses, which is unusual and gives admissions some flexibility for families relocating from other cities or returning from abroad.

Parents talk about quality teaching, individual attention, dedicated staff, and a strong calendar of events and extracurriculars. The Bombay Cambridge Gurukul tradition is more community school than internationalist showpiece, and fees sit well below the BKC names. Best fit for Borivali and Kandivali families wanting Cambridge IGCSE without the commute or the price tag of the central Mumbai schools, and comfortable with a school whose senior years end at age 16 rather than 18.


  • Day school in Borivali West, Mumbai, founded in 1998, offering both Cambridge IGCSE and Maharashtra State Board streams under the Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Vidyalaya brand. Aggregator parent ratings sit around 4.3 of 5 across hundreds of votes.
  • Recurring praise: personal attention, dedicated teaching staff and quality of education. One parent described it as "undoubtedly, the best english medium school (both ssc board and international). Very mature and hard working teaching staff".
  • One older review on UrbanPro flagged building condition. The parent said "the school is moving towards a very bad condition now", complaining about unpainted walls, broken classroom walls, lack of air conditioning and high fees relative to amenities. Treated as a single voice but worth surfacing.
  • A Reddit list of Mumbai schools placed the school in the fourth tier, described as "good schools, but not considered among the absolute best". A separate, older comment treated DSRV Malad as part of a snobbish school stereotype.
  • The school is positioned as one of the cheaper Cambridge options in Borivali, with monthly nursery fees around INR 6,800.
