In Brief
Excelsior covers ages 2-18 with Cambridge and IB Diploma on a contained campus in DLF Phase 1 - useful if you're in that part of Gurugram and want day-care-to-Diploma continuity. Do not go in expecting published fee transparency; you'll need to request their printed schedule.
Excelsior American School has been running since 2006 and sits on a 5-acre campus behind the Dell building in DLF Phase 1, Sector 43, Gurugram - central for Golf Course Road and DLF Phase 1-4 families. It takes children from age 2 through to Grade 12, which means families can enrol a toddler and stay through A Levels or IB Diploma without switching schools. Cambridge IGCSE runs at lower secondary and AS/A Levels are available alongside IB Diploma at Sixth Form.
The school does not publish exam results or detailed fee schedules online. Third-party sources put first-year costs in the range of INR 729,000 to INR 1,472,000 depending on year group, with a registration fee of INR 9,500. The admissions team keeps the current fee structure in print form in the office, which is worth a visit rather than relying on third-party figures. Ask specifically about any annual capital levy and transport costs if your child will be bussing from outside Phase 1.
Without published results, it's harder to benchmark Excelsior against Lancers or Pathways on academic output. Families who've been through the school mention the manageable campus size and the continuity of keeping children in one place from early years onwards as the main reasons they stay. If IB Diploma results are your primary metric, visit and ask for the school's Diploma data before committing.
What parents value
- –Age 2 to Grade 12 continuity on a single campus means no school switch at 11 or 16. Useful for families planning a long posting who want stability across all age groups.
- –DLF Phase 1, Sector 43 location puts it within easy reach of Golf Course Road, DLF Phase 1-4, and Sohna Road families. Small campus with a manageable daily flow.
- –Cambridge IGCSE and A Levels alongside IB Diploma give students a genuine choice at Sixth Form rather than a single-track commitment at age 11.
Points of consideration
- –No published exam results. Ask the admissions office directly for recent IB Diploma averages and IGCSE grade distributions before forming a view on academic outcomes.
- –Fee schedule is not online. Request the current printed fee structure from the admissions office; third-party data may be one to two years out of date and should not be relied upon for budgeting.
