About schools in Mumbai

Mumbai is home to 806 schools indexed on AdmissionSchool — spanning early-years programmes, primary, middle and senior secondary across CBSE, ICSE, IB and state boards. Of these, 156 CBSE, 125 ICSE, 37 IB or IGCSE schools are currently listed.

CBSE dominates Mumbai's K-12 landscape, which is typical for Maharashtra where central-board affiliation eases inter-city transfers.

Annual tuition across Mumbai ranges from ₹15K – ₹13.00 L/year. Budget-tier schools usually sit in older residential pockets, while elite and international campuses concentrate near newer suburbs and arterial corridors.

40 schools in Mumbai offer full or day boarding, which is useful for out-of-station families or for parents whose work hours extend past the school day.

The highest concentration of schools is in Malad West, Borivali West, Andheri West, Andheri East and 8 other localities. Each area page sorts schools by board, annual fee and gender so you can short-list options within commuting distance.

Admissions in Mumbai typically open between September and February for the following academic year, though IB and IGCSE schools often run rolling intakes. Each school profile lists the application window, age cut-off, registration fee and the documents required for entrance.

When comparing schools, weigh the board's exit-exam fit for your child, the student-teacher ratio, transport coverage to your locality, and the fee escalation policy. Reviews from parents on each profile surface day-to-day realities — homework load, communication quality and extracurricular depth — that brochures rarely capture.
