The IB (International Baccalaureate) program offers an interesting alternative to traditional higher secondary education, one that opens more doors to foreign education than the state board or national boards. A wider subject choice, flexibility in assignments, stringent examinations and textbooks written by renowned authors all contribute to making this possible. This means that many parents, especially those who want their children to study abroad, are trying their best to enroll their kids in the top IB schools in Mumbai.
Ryan Global School, Andheri
Ryan Global School, Andheri is an excellent starter school for a child. They offer the IB Early Years Program (3-5 years old) and the IB Primary Years Program (6-10 years old). After this the student has the option of switching to the Cambridge Assessment system (CIE Lower Secondary, then IGCSE, followed by A-Levels). IB EYP and PYP are the best way to prepare the student for higher education in any international board.
Dhirubhai Ambani International School, BKC
This is a school that isn’t just in the top 10 IB schools in India, but also among the top 20 in the world. They were among the earliest adopters of the IB higher secondary programme (Class XI and XII) in the city. DAIS’s approach consists of three components: Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay and CAS (Creativity, Action, Service). For academics, students can select 6 subjects from various groups. And finally, they also get to choose from a variety of sporting and non-sporting co-curriculars.
American School of Bombay, BKC
This school was built to educate the children of American diplomats and expats working in Mumbai. Although admissions are open to all, most students are still part of that group. The school allows its students to pursue 3 types of diplomas for Class XII: the ASB Diploma (equivalent to an American high school diploma), the IB Diploma, and a combination of both (where they receive an ASB Diploma plus IB certificates for specific courses). These unique factors have consistently placed ASB among the top 10 IB Schools in India.
Oberoi International School, Goregaon & JVLR
The school believes in a “one school two campus” policy, and they have split their campus across 2 locations in Goregaon East and JVLR. With 12 batches having graduated, consisting of over 800 alumni, OIS is easily among the top IB schools in Mumbai. This is one of the extremely few schools in India offering a continuum of the IB program - PYP, MYP and the Diploma are all available here.
