In brief
A young, well-resourced Cambridge and IB campus of a Mumbai school group, strongest for families wanting international pathways on a large new site in eastern Pune.
Chatrabhuj Narsee School opened its Amanora Park Town campus for the 2022-23 year, extending the Mumbai-founded CNS group into Hadapsar on a 6.5-acre site with an auditorium and swimming pool inaugurated in 2023. It runs the Cambridge pathway from early years through IGCSE alongside the IB Diploma for senior secondary, positioning itself as a full international-curriculum option rather than a national-board school. Admission spans Nursery to the upper grades, and the campus markets boarding-free day schooling with transport and daycare. Being only a few years old, its track record is still forming, and leadership has turned over more than once since opening, so families weighing continuity will find the senior years less settled than the well-equipped facilities suggest.

Reviews
A new school still finding its feet, with parents warmer on the people than the institution. Front-of-house staff and class teachers draw consistent praise, while the running of the branch and its turnover behind the scenes draw the doubts.
Positives
- Welcoming staff and teacher feedback. Parents describe admissions and class staff as approachable and patient, with detailed quarterly feedback on each child and children settling happily into the new campus.
- Facilities and campus. The large purpose-built site, auditorium, swimming pool and activity-rich programme are repeatedly singled out as a strength for a school this young.
Considerations
- Leadership and staff turnover. Several accounts point to repeated principal changes since opening and low teacher retention, with staff describing strained relations with coordinators and senior management and heavy six-day workloads.
- Parent communication. Some families report the branch feeling loosely run, with communication from the school to parents seen as patchy at times.
