Any leads or recommendations?

Hi, you haven't mentioned which area you are looking in. For schools in South Bangalore, I highly recommend checking out the NPS branch, as my son is in Grade 4 there and we are very happy with the academic rigor and the focus on extracurriculars. Do let us know your location so we can give better suggestions!

I suggest you try looking into the smaller, ICSE-affiliated schools instead of the big chains. We moved our daughter out of a big international school last year, and honestly, the personal attention she gets now in a smaller class size is much better. Good luck with the search!

Are you looking for CBSE or IB curriculum? I have seen many parents struggling with the transition to IB in high school, so please keep that in mind when you are shortlisting schools for your child.

Check out the forum archives, there was a very detailed thread about this exact topic last month. Also, you might want to visit the school campuses in person during working hours to see how the teachers actually interact with the students.

We recently went through this process and finalized a school near Indiranagar. The transport facility is a bit expensive, but the quality of the faculty is top-notch. Feel free to DM me if you want more details on the fee structure.
