K.R. Mangalam Global School
IB-only school in Greater Kailash 1 offering the full four-programme continuum (PYP, MYP, IBDP, IBCP) from Nursery to Grade 12. Founded in 2018; one of the only IB schools within South Delhi proper, and the only one in GK-1. Annual…
In brief
The youngest sibling of the K.R. Mangalam family, opened in 2018 in Greater Kailash 1 as the group's IB Continuum offer. Smaller and more boutique than the GK2 World School next door.
The school runs IB PYP, MYP, DP and CP across roughly 500 students. Early years and primary are where parents most often praise it, with consistent comments about teacher warmth and a learner-centred pace.
Reviews split as the school moves up the years. Some families report strong support and visible development in their child's confidence. Others raise concerns about staff turnover and how complaints are handled. The middle school years are where the gap between the IB ambition and the operational maturity is most visible. Worth visiting both K.R. Mangalam GK1 (Global, IB) and K.R. Mangalam GK2 (World, CBSE/IB) to feel the difference, since they are sometimes confused.

Reviews
- A serious child-protection failure dominates the picture: a five-year-old girl was sexually assaulted on a school bus in August 2024 by an older student with diplomatic-immunity ties; one Reddit thread says further victims emerged. Suspension only happened in February 2025 after a parent protest of 100 to 150 families outside the school. The school's response was widely described online as protective of the perpetrator's family rather than the victim.
- Older commenters about the wider K.R. Mangalam group's GK schools criticised pickup-time chaos and parents blocking roads.
- Almost no positive parent-side commentary surfaced in independent forums; the strongest visible material online is from school-controlled or directory channels.
