Symbiosis International School

An established Viman Nagar day school running the full IB continuum alongside Cambridge IGCSE, suited to families wanting an unbroken international pathway through to Grade 12.

Opened in 2005 under the Symbiosis Society and an IB World School since 2006, the school carries the four IB programmes from Early Years through the Primary and Middle Years to the Diploma, with Cambridge IGCSE bridging Grades 9 and 10. The Ishanya campus near the airport offers an auditorium, sports facilities and a settled, well-resourced setting. The 2025 cohort averaged 33 points at IB Diploma and 79 percent at IGCSE, mid-range outcomes for a city with several international options. Annual tuition climbs from around 1.6 to 2 lakh in the early years to 4.4 to 4.7 lakh through primary and secondary and 7.7 lakh at Diploma, placing it among the pricier Pune choices, with admission and registration charges on top. The breadth of programmes and the continuity through to university counselling are the draw; families weighing fee level against alternatives such as Bishop's or other east-Pune international schools will compare closely.

A long-running IB campus that parents rate well on infrastructure and the spread of programmes, with the sharper notes landing on how the place is run rather than what it teaches. The breadth from Early Years to Diploma and the campus itself draw steady approval; the friction sits around staff consistency, day-to-day management and the fee level relative to what families feel they get back.
