In brief
A budget-positioned Cambridge school in Undri, run by the Rais group behind RIMS International.
Boston World School delivers the full Cambridge pathway from Nursery through IGCSE and A Level on its NIBM Annex campus, with University of Cambridge centre status (IN 791) and Ofqual recognition. It markets itself as a route to a UK-style qualification at a modest budget, and the fees back that up: roughly INR 63,000 a year in the early years rising to about INR 2,10,000 in Classes 11 and 12, well below Pune's premium international tier. The school sits within the same Rais family group as RIMS International in Kondhwa, sharing leadership and curriculum lineage rather than operating independently. It suits families who want an English-medium Cambridge stream close to the NIBM and Undri belt without IB or boarding fees. Day numbers, the current campus principal, and a settled founding year are not cleanly documented, and the school is young enough that an established track record is still forming.

Reviews
Written parent accounts split sharply. The Cambridge structure, a clutch of named dedicated teachers, and on-campus safety draw genuine praise, but a louder strand of reviews describes a school that feels run as a business first, with staff who change often and management that parents find hard to reach.
Positives
- Cambridge curriculum and individual teachers. Several parents credit the Cambridge stream and specific teachers they name as kind, committed, and good with their children.
- Campus safety. Reviewers mention adequate security and a setting that feels safe day to day.
Considerations
- Teacher turnover. Frequent changes of teaching staff come up repeatedly, with parents saying the churn disrupts continuity for their children.
- Parent communication and management tone. Patchy communication and a perception that management is focused on fees over facilities recur, with some parents describing brusque handling.
- Review authenticity. Multiple reviewers allege the school pushes students or families toward five-star ratings, a claim that colours how the headline scores should be read.
Leadership
Dr. Farah Rais
I, Dr. Farah Rais, CEO and Trustee of Rais Foundation, always believe Education is the key to success, thus, passed out of Presentation Convent School, Srinagar with distinction and scholarship. Interested in sciences, I pursued my MBBS from Government Medical College, Srinagar, and have been touching and healing lives since then. My experience with prestigious hospitals like J.J Hospital, Mumbai and currently heading Ruby Hall Hospital, Pune as a Medical Director, has shaped me into the person I am today. Although I feel this is just the beginning. All new journeys start with hope, aspiration, excitement and the feeling of doing new things, reaching new places and building new relationships. I believe at the core every child is capable, curious and competent. Boston World School is a place for children to build and enhance their capabilities in all areas. We strive to nurture in them all abilities that will allow them to flourish in all environments with confidence and independence and be caring, compassionate and happy individuals.
