Expats moving for the longer term might consider sending their child to a private school in Delhi. The language of instruction at private schools in India is English and the standard of teaching is excellent. Sending expat kids 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 which foreign students may not be accustomed to. Admissions procedures vary across schools, but extensive documentation is generally needed and we recommend starting the process early.
Below is a list of prominent private schools in Delhi.
