Private schools in Delhi

If you’re moving to Delhi for the long term, you might consider sending your child to a private school. The language of instruction at private schools in India is English, and the standard of teaching is generally excellent. Sending your child to a private school also encourages integration by allowing them to interact with local children and embrace more of the local culture.

Note that children at Indian private schools can be put under a lot of pressure to achieve high grades, something that your child may not be accustomed to. Admissions procedures vary across schools, but extensive documentation is usually needed, so we recommend starting the application process early.

Below is a list of prominent private schools in Delhi.
