We’ve narrowed it down to Bangalore or Hyderabad. But we have no idea which school.”
I hear this almost every week in our BacktoIndia WhatsApp groups.
And honestly? Hyderabad has quietly become one of the strongest cities in India for international education. ore NRI families are choosing it over Bangalore and Mumbai – and the school options have caught up fast.
When we were looking at schools in 2017, most people only talked about Bangalore. Today, Hyderabad parents in our community are genuinely spoiled for choice.
The city has a mix of well-established international schools, some dating back to the 1970s, and newer ones with stunning campuses and modern approaches.
But here’s the thing. More options means more confusion.
So I put together this guide based on community feedback, conversations with education counselors, and information from school websites and directories.
This isn’t a ranking. Every child is different. Every family’s priorities are different. This is a starting point to help you narrow your search.
If you’re still deciding between cities, our guide on Bangalore or Hyderabad might help.
And if you need a refresher on how Indian school syllabuses compare – IB, IGCSE, CBSE, ICSE – read that first.
Why Hyderabad for NRI Families?
Before we jump into the schools, a quick word on why Hyderabad works well for returning NRIs.
Lower cost of living.
Compared to Bangalore and Mumbai, your money goes further here. Housing is more affordable, traffic is (slightly) better, and international school fees are generally 15 to 25% lower.
IT hub with strong job market.
Gachibowli, HITEC City, and the Financial District have offices of most major tech companies. Many NRIs find jobs here, and most good international schools are clustered in the same west Hyderabad corridor.
Cultural warmth.
Hyderabad has a reputation for being welcoming. NRI families in our community consistently mention how quickly they felt at home here.
Growing international school ecosystem.
From IB World Schools to Cambridge-affiliated institutions, Hyderabad’s international education options have expanded significantly in the last decade.
If you’re exploring which city to relocate to, Hyderabad deserves serious consideration.
What NRI Parents Should Look For
The same criteria I shared in our Bangalore international schools guide apply here too. But a quick recap:
Transition support.
Does the school have experience with kids coming from American, British, or other international systems?
Mid-year admission.
Most NRI families can’t time their move to the Indian school year (April or August depending on the school). Flexibility here is a must.
Curriculum continuity.
If your child was in an IB or inquiry-based school abroad, a sudden jump to rote-learning will be difficult.
Class size.
Smaller is better. 15 to 25 students per class is ideal.
Diversity.
A school with students from different backgrounds helps NRI kids feel less “different” during the settling-in period.
Parent community.
Don’t underestimate this. An active, welcoming parent network makes a huge difference to your family’s transition.

Note: Fees are approximate for 2025-26 and vary by grade and curriculum. Always confirm directly with the school. Fees typically don’t include transport, meals, uniforms, or activity charges.
1. International School of Hyderabad (ISH)
Board: IGCSE (Grades 9-10) + IB Diploma Programme (Grades 11-12). Own curriculum for K to Grade 8.
Campus: 5-acre core campus within the massive 3,600-acre ICRISAT campus in Patancheru.
Students: Around 400 students from 22+ countries. Majority are from overseas.
Why NRI parents like it:
ISH is the most genuinely “international” school in Hyderabad. Founded in 1981, it was originally set up to serve the children of scientists and staff at ICRISAT (the international agricultural research institute).
The student body is majority non-Indian. If your child has grown up in the US or UK and you want them in a school where they feel immediately at home with kids from similar backgrounds – ISH is the closest to that in Hyderabad.
The class size is capped at 15. The student-teacher ratio is about 15:1. Over 34% of the staff is international, from 12 countries.
ISH was the first school in Telangana authorized to offer the IB Diploma. It is also accredited by both the Council of International Schools (CIS) and NEASC – the same accreditation bodies used by top international schools globally.
And then there’s the campus. Being inside ICRISAT means students have access to a museum, weather station, medieval fort, large swimming pool, and open green spaces. It’s unlike any other school campus in Hyderabad.
What to know:
- Rolling admissions throughout the year – perfect for NRI timing
- IGCSE for Grades 9-10, IB DP for 11-12
- Own integrated curriculum for younger grades (K-8), based on best practices from US, Canada, Australia, and Europe
- Primarily serves overseas and expat students. Limited seats for Indian citizens.
- Day school only – no boarding
- Not-for-profit, so fees go directly to education
- Most graduates attend universities in North America and the UK
Community feedback: ISH doesn’t come up often in our groups because of the limited Indian citizen intake. But the families I know with kids there love it. “It feels like an American school transplanted into Hyderabad” is how one dad put it. The ICRISAT location is far from central Hyderabad though – about 30 km from Gachibowli.

2. Oakridge International School (Gachibowli)
Board: IB (PYP, MYP, DP) + CBSE. Part of Nord Anglia Education network.
Campus: Gachibowli, right in the heart of Hyderabad’s IT corridor.
Students: Over 3,000 students across Hyderabad campuses.
Why NRI parents like it:
Oakridge is a big name in Hyderabad education. It has the distinction of being the pioneer of IB schooling in South India. With 150+ IB-trained teachers, it’s one of the largest IB school operations in India.
In 2019, Oakridge became part of Nord Anglia Education, a global network of premium international schools. This gives students access to collaborations with MIT, Juilliard, and UNICEF through Nord Anglia’s global programs.
The Gachibowli campus location is probably its biggest practical advantage for NRI families. Most IT professionals settle in the Gachibowli-Kondapur-Madhapur belt, and having the school nearby makes daily logistics much easier.
Oakridge offers both IB and CBSE tracks, which gives families flexibility. If you’re unsure whether your child will eventually write Indian competitive exams (JEE, NEET), having the CBSE option alongside IB is valuable.
What to know:
- Both IB (PYP, MYP, DP) and CBSE available – choose based on your child’s needs
- Part of Nord Anglia global network (collaborations with MIT, Juilliard, UNICEF)
- Gachibowli location is ideal for families in the IT corridor
- Multiple campuses in Hyderabad (Gachibowli is the main international campus, Bachupally is the second)
- Strong university placement track record – Stanford, Oxford, UCLA, UPenn among past placements
- Day school (no boarding at Gachibowli campus)
- Annual fees range widely depending on curriculum (CBSE is more affordable, IB is premium)
Community feedback: Oakridge comes up a lot in our Hyderabad group. Parents appreciate the IB program quality and the convenient location. A few parents have mentioned that the school can feel large and a bit “corporate” after the Nord Anglia acquisition.
One parent noted, “Academics are strong, but you need to be proactive about getting individual attention for your child in a school this size.”
If you’re looking at best investment options while planning your move, getting school fees budgeted early is critical.

3. Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad
Board: Full IB continuum – PYP, MYP, DP.
Campus: 100 acres. Maheshwaram, near Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.
Students: Around 450 students. Capacity for 750.
Why NRI parents like it:
The Aga Khan Academy is part of the Aga Khan Development Network, which runs schools in multiple countries. The Hyderabad campus is the second Aga Khan Academy globally (after Mombasa, Kenya).
At 100 acres, it has the largest campus of any school on this list. The infrastructure is world-class, with separate residential blocks, arts studios, a swimming pool, gymnasium, and advanced science labs.
The school offers the complete IB continuum from Grade 1 through 12. The motto – “Thinking Critically, Living Ethically” – reflects its strong emphasis on values alongside academics.
Boarding is available, which is useful for NRI families who might want to enroll their child before the entire family has moved. The school has 6 residential blocks (3 for boys, 3 for girls) with proper supervision.
The Aga Khan Academy also offers financial aid and scholarships, which is rare among premium international schools.
What to know:
- Full IB from Grade 1 to 12
- 100-acre campus – one of the largest school campuses in India
- Day and boarding options
- Financial aid and scholarship programs available
- 5% sibling discount on tuition
- Session runs August to June
- Maheshwaram location is about 8 km from the airport but far from central Hyderabad
- Admissions are competitive and merit-based
- Seats fill up fast – Grades 3, 4, and 5 were recently closed for new admissions
Community feedback: “It feels like a university campus, not a school” is a comment I’ve heard from multiple parents. The academic program gets strong praise. The distance from Gachibowli/HITEC City is the main concern – it’s about 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. But for families settling in south Hyderabad or near the airport, it’s convenient.
Website: agakhanacademies.org/hyderabad
4. CHIREC International School
Board: CBSE + Cambridge (IGCSE, A/AS Levels) + IB Diploma Programme.
Campus: Multiple campuses. Main campus at Serilingampally (9.5 acres). Also in Kondapur, Jubilee Hills, and Gachibowli.
Students: Large school with a strong reputation in Hyderabad.
Why NRI parents like it:
CHIREC has been around since 1989 – that’s over 35 years of educational experience in Hyderabad. It was ranked #1 in Hyderabad and Telangana (and #7 Pan India for co-ed day schools) by EducationWorld in 2024-25.
What makes CHIREC unique is the triple curriculum. Students can choose CBSE or Cambridge through Grade 10, and then pick from CBSE, Cambridge A Levels, or IB DP for 11th and 12th. This kind of flexibility is rare.
The school’s IB DP results are excellent. From the 2025 batch, 16 students scored 40 points and above, and over 50% of the cohort beat the global average. Seven students scored 43 out of 45.
CHIREC joined Cognita in 2019, a global schools group with 76 schools across Asia, Europe, and Latin America. This has brought additional resources and global exposure opportunities.
The Serilingampally campus has Hyderabad’s first elevated sports deck – 120,000 square feet with 40+ sports options. If your child is into sports, this is a major plus.
What to know:
- Three curricula: CBSE, Cambridge, and IB DP
- Multiple campus locations across west Hyderabad
- Ranked #1 in Hyderabad by EducationWorld (2024-25)
- Part of Cognita global schools group
- Strong IB DP results (multiple 40+ scorers)
- 120,000 sq ft elevated sports deck at Serilingampally campus
- Day school only – no boarding
- Fees are relatively moderate for the quality offered (Rs 2.5L to 6L)
- Admission requires proficiency test
Community feedback: CHIREC is one of the most discussed schools in our Hyderabad group. Parents appreciate the academic rigor and the curriculum flexibility. The Kondapur location is excellent for IT professionals. Some parents mentioned the school can feel “intense” academically, which works for driven students but might be overwhelming for kids who need a gentler pace.

5. The Gaudium School
Board: IB PYP (Nursery to Grade 5) + CBSE/IGCSE/IB MYP (Grades 6-10) + CBSE/IB DP/Cambridge AS & A (Grades 11-12).
Campus: 27 acres in Kollur. Pre-primary campus in Gachibowli (Nanakramguda).
Why NRI parents like it:
The Gaudium is newer than most schools on this list (founded 2015), but it has made a strong impression fast. Forbes India named it one of the “Great Places to Study.”
The 27-acre Kollur campus is something else. It has a science park, a petting zoo (with ducks, horses, rabbits, and goats), butterfly breeding areas, and water bodies. If your child loves nature and you want a school that makes learning feel alive – this is worth visiting.
The curriculum is incredibly flexible. IB PYP for primary, then a choice of three pathways (CBSE, IGCSE, or IB MYP) for middle school, and again multiple options for senior secondary. This kind of flexibility is ideal for NRI families who aren’t sure about their long-term plans.
Boarding was recently introduced for Grades 4 to 12, with both 5-day boarding and term boarding options.
What to know:
- Maximum curriculum flexibility (IB + CBSE + Cambridge across different levels)
- 27-acre eco-friendly campus with nature-integrated learning
- Boarding available from Grade 4
- Named “Great Place to Study” by Forbes India
- Online enrollment process for international applicants
- Passport and visa documents accepted for NRI/expat admissions
- Gachibowli pre-primary campus is more accessible for city families
- Kollur campus is about 20 km from Gachibowli (commute can be long)
Community feedback: Parents who choose The Gaudium tend to be drawn by the campus and the philosophy. “My son comes home talking about the goats and the butterfly garden, not about grades. That’s exactly what I wanted” – that’s the kind of feedback I hear. The distance to Kollur is the main drawback. But families settling in the Narsingi-Kokapet-Kollur belt find it convenient.
If you haven’t sorted your financial planning before the move, school fees can catch you off guard. Budget early.

6. Indus International School Hyderabad
Board: IB (PYP, MYP, DP) + Cambridge IGCSE.
Campus: Mokila, outskirts of Hyderabad. Day and boarding.
Why NRI parents like it:
Indus International is part of the same group that runs Indus schools in Bangalore and Pune. The Hyderabad campus was established in 2008 and offers both IB and Cambridge pathways.
The school emphasizes its “Indus Learning System” with individualized learning paths. Sports and performing arts get strong attention alongside academics.
Boarding is available, which gives NRI families an option if the move is happening in stages. The campus is on the outskirts, which means cleaner air and more space – but also a longer commute from the city center.
What to know:
- IB and Cambridge pathways
- Day and boarding options
- Part of a multi-city school group (Bangalore, Pune)
- Mokila location – green and spacious but far from HITEC City
- University placement support available
Community feedback: Mixed in our community. Some parents praise the holistic approach and sports programs. Others have flagged communication gaps and management concerns. If Indus is on your shortlist, visit the campus and talk to current parents before deciding.
Website: indusschool.com
7. Sancta Maria International School
Board: Cambridge IGCSE.
Campus: 5 acres in Kondapur.
Why NRI parents like it:
Sancta Maria focuses exclusively on the Cambridge IGCSE curriculum, with project-based learning and strong individual attention. The school joined the International Schools Partnership (ISP) in 2022, becoming part of a global network of 77+ schools in 21 countries.
The Kondapur location is perfect for families in the IT corridor. The school is smaller than Oakridge or CHIREC, which means more personalized attention.
Sancta Maria accepts admissions year-round based on seat availability, which is helpful for NRI families.
What to know:
- Cambridge IGCSE curriculum
- Part of International Schools Partnership (ISP) global network since 2022
- Kondapur location – accessible from Gachibowli/HITEC City
- Smaller school with more individual attention
- Year-round admissions based on availability
- Campus tours available (online and offline)
Community feedback: Parents in our group who have kids at Sancta Maria generally appreciate the curriculum and teaching quality. The ISP partnership has brought improvements in facilities. A few parents have raised concerns about fees and communication. “Good school for the IGCSE track, especially if you want a smaller community” is a fair summary.
Website: sanctamaria.in
8. Sreenidhi International School
Board: Cambridge IGCSE + IB DP + CBSE.
Campus: Large campus in Moinabad, south-west of Hyderabad. Day and boarding.
Why NRI parents like it:

The campus has good sports facilities and a boarding program. The school has a decent track record of university placements both in India and abroad.
What to know:
- Triple curriculum: IGCSE + IB DP + CBSE
- Day and boarding options
- Large campus with sports infrastructure
- Moinabad location is far from central Hyderabad
- Residential program available for students
Community feedback: Sreenidhi has a loyal following. Parents praise the campus and the range of extracurricular activities. The distance from the IT hub is a concern for many families. One parent noted, “Academically solid, but you need to factor in 45+ minutes each way for the commute from Gachibowli.”
Website: sreenidhi.com
9. Birla Open Minds International School
Board: Cambridge IGCSE + CBSE.
Campus: Kollur.
Why NRI parents like it:
Birla Open Minds follows the RAISE philosophy – Resilience, Agility, Innovation, Social Responsibility, and Empathy. The school offers both Cambridge IGCSE and CBSE curricula.
With a student-teacher ratio of about 1:10, it offers more personalized attention than most schools on this list.
For families on a tighter budget, Birla Open Minds is one of the more affordable international school options in Hyderabad, with fees starting around Rs 2L per year.
What to know:
- Cambridge IGCSE and CBSE curricula
- Student-teacher ratio of approximately 1:10
- Kollur location (developing area, newer infrastructure)
- More affordable than premium IB schools
- Day school
- Emphasis on character building alongside academics
Community feedback: Fewer mentions in our community compared to schools like Oakridge or CHIREC. Parents who’ve chosen it appreciate the smaller class sizes and the more affordable fee structure. “Not the fanciest campus, but the teachers know my child by name” is feedback I’ve seen.
Website: birlaopenmindsinternational.com
10. Kennedy High Global School
Board: CBSE + Cambridge IGCSE.
Campus: Bachupally, north-west Hyderabad. Day and residential.
Why NRI parents like it:
Kennedy High has been around since 2005 and offers both CBSE and IGCSE curricula. The school has a strong focus on preparing students for competitive exams (IIT, AIEEE) alongside the international curriculum.
The campus has an animation studio, which is unique among Hyderabad schools. Smart classrooms with interactive boards are standard.
Residential facilities are available, and the school is a good option for families settling in north-west Hyderabad (Bachupally, Kukatpally, Miyapur belt).
What to know:
- CBSE and IGCSE curricula
- Strong competitive exam coaching integrated with regular curriculum
- Animation studio and smart classrooms
- Day and residential options
- Bachupally location – good for north-west Hyderabad families
- More affordable fee range
Community feedback: Kennedy High is better known in the north-west Hyderabad belt. Parents choosing it often value the blend of international exposure with competitive exam preparation. “If you want your child to have the IGCSE experience but also be ready for JEE, Kennedy High tries to do both” is how one parent described it.

How to Choose: A Framework for Hyderabad NRI Families
With 10 schools to consider, here’s how to narrow it down:
Step 1: Where in Hyderabad are you settling?
This matters more than you think. Hyderabad’s international schools are spread across the city, and commute times vary wildly.
- Gachibowli / Kondapur / HITEC City: Oakridge, CHIREC, Sancta Maria are closest
- Kollur / Kokapet / Narsingi: The Gaudium, Birla Open Minds
- Near Airport / South Hyderabad: Aga Khan Academy
- Patancheru / North-West: ISH, Kennedy High
- Mokila / Moinabad (outskirts): Indus International, Sreenidhi
If you’re still deciding where to settle in Hyderabad, our guide on the best cities for NRIs can help.
Step 2: Match curriculum to your child’s future.
- Planning to stay in India long-term? Schools offering CBSE alongside IB/IGCSE (like Oakridge, CHIREC, The Gaudium) give you more flexibility for Indian college entrance exams
- Planning to potentially move abroad again? Full IB (Aga Khan, ISH) or pure Cambridge (Sancta Maria) transfers more easily internationally
- Not sure yet? Schools with multiple curriculum tracks give you time to decide
Step 3: Visit in person.
This is non-negotiable. Book campus visits for your top 3 to 4 choices. Talk to teachers. Watch how kids interact. Ask about transition support for NRI children specifically.
If you’re still abroad, most of these schools offer virtual tours and Zoom meetings with admissions teams. Use them. But plan a visit trip before finalizing.
Step 4: Ask the community.
Post in our WhatsApp groups. We have an active Hyderabad group. Within hours, you’ll get honest feedback from parents with kids in these schools.
Step 5: Apply to 3 to 4 schools.
Popular schools have waiting lists. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Admission Tips for NRI Families in Hyderabad
A few practical pointers:
Start 6 to 12 months early.
Top schools like ISH, Aga Khan, and CHIREC have limited seats. If you’re planning a mid-2026 move, start your applications now.
Keep all documents ready.
Birth certificate, previous school records, transfer certificate, passport copies, OCI card (if applicable), and address proof. Some schools (like The Gaudium) specifically ask for passport and visa documents from NRI/expat families.
Mid-year admission is common.
Most international schools in Hyderabad accept transfers throughout the year. ISH, Oakridge, and Sancta Maria all have rolling admissions.
Grade placement may differ.
The Indian cutoff (March 31) differs from the US cutoff (September). Your child might be placed differently than expected. Check our guide on the admission process in Indian schools for details.
Budget beyond tuition.
Transport (Rs 40,000 to 80,000), meals, uniforms, activity fees, and school trips add up. The real annual cost is typically 20 to 30% above published tuition.
Hyderabad vs. Bangalore for International Schools
This comparison comes up constantly. Here’s a quick take:
| Factor | Hyderabad | Bangalore |
|---|---|---|
| Number of international schools | Fewer, but growing fast | More options overall |
| Fee range | Generally 15-25% lower | Higher across the board |
| Top-tier IB options | Aga Khan, Oakridge, ISH | Stonehill, TISB, CIS |
| Commute and traffic | Better (for now) | Worse |
| NRI community density | Growing | Very established |
| Weather | Hotter in summer | More moderate year-round |
Neither city is objectively “better.” It depends on where you find a job, where family is, and your personal preferences.

What About CBSE and ICSE Schools?
This guide focuses on international schools (IB, IGCSE, Cambridge). But Hyderabad has outstanding CBSE and ICSE schools too – at a fraction of the cost.
Schools like Delhi Public School, Oakridge CBSE track, Meridian, and Gitanjali offer strong academics for Rs 1L to 2.5L per year.
If you’re weighing the options, our comparisons of CBSE vs ICSE and CBSE vs IB will help you decide.
FAQ
Q: Can my child join a Hyderabad international school mid-year?
Yes. Most international schools in Hyderabad – especially IB and Cambridge ones – accept mid-year transfers. ISH, Oakridge, and Sancta Maria explicitly welcome year-round applications. Always confirm seat availability directly.
Q: Do Hyderabad international schools require entrance exams?
Most do. Typically assessments in English and Math, plus an interview. Many now offer online assessments for families still abroad. CHIREC, for example, requires a proficiency test.
Q: What’s the typical fee range?
Rs 2L to 10.5L per year depending on the school, grade, and curriculum. Full IB tracks are at the higher end. CBSE tracks within the same school are more affordable.
Q: Will my child struggle with Telugu or Hindi?
International schools in Hyderabad generally don’t require proficiency in regional languages. Most offer Telugu and Hindi as options alongside French, Spanish, or other languages. This is a non-issue for NRI kids.
Q: Is boarding a good option?
It can be useful if you’re still settling in. Aga Khan Academy and The Gaudium have well-structured boarding programs. But most NRI families I know prefer day school so the family transitions together.
Q: Which school is best for kids coming from American schools?
ISH is the most “American-style” school in Hyderabad – most students are from the US, and the K-8 curriculum draws from US/Canadian/Australian practices. Aga Khan (full IB) and Oakridge (IB track) also offer smooth transitions from US schools.
Q: How do I verify IB authorization?
Check the IBO website at ibo.org. Any school can call itself “international.” Only IBO-authorized schools can offer the actual IB programme.
One Last Thing
School hunting from 10,000 miles away feels impossible.
I know because I went through it. Sitting up late, switching between browser tabs, comparing fee structures, reading contradictory reviews, second-guessing every option.
Here’s what I’ve learned from watching hundreds of NRI families go through this in our community:
The “perfect school” doesn’t exist.
What exists is a school that’s a good fit for your child right now. Good teachers, a welcoming environment, reasonable class sizes, and a curriculum that doesn’t feel like a shock.
Your child will adapt. It might take three months. It might take six. But they will find their people, figure out the system, and start thriving.
One mom in our Hyderabad group told me, “I spent four months agonizing over schools. My son spent four weeks making friends. I should have worried less.”
She’s right. 🙂
