A Billabong-group day school in Amanora running CBSE alongside a Cambridge pathway, pitched at families who want a brand-name campus with broad facilities close to central Hadapsar.

Operated under the Lina Ashar Billabong group, the Amanora campus serves Playschool through Grade 12 and offers two tracks, mainstream CBSE and Cambridge international, with a small class intake of around 24. The setting suits families inside Amanora Park Town and the wider Hadapsar belt who value a well-resourced campus, air-conditioned classrooms, labs, performing-arts and sports provision, and a marketed low student-teacher ratio over a long academic track record. Positioning leans on the international branding, though day-to-day the school functions as a CBSE-first institution with Cambridge as the alternative stream. Fees sit at the higher end of the local market and have drawn scrutiny on value, and the founding year is reported inconsistently across listings. Households weighing this campus tend to compare it against nearby Amanora options including Chatrabhuj Narsee and the Bishop's and St Mary's campuses further into the city.


Local parents weighing schools around Hadapsar and Kharadi tend to file Billabong Amanora as a solid-but-not-standout option: the campus and facilities draw praise, the academics land closer to average, and the fees are reckoned high for what comes back. A recurring undercurrent is staff stability rather than the building.

Positives

  • Campus and facilities. The infrastructure is consistently rated well, described as good overall when families compare it against other CBSE and IGCSE campuses in the Hadapsar and Kharadi area.

Considerations

  • Academics versus fees. Parents tend to call the academics average and place the fees at the higher end of the local market, with some feeling the cost-to-value ratio does not quite justify the price.
  • Teacher stability. Faculty turnover comes up as a worry, with comments that attrition runs high and that the resulting instability could affect children, alongside a sense that parent concerns are not always closely attended to.
