International schools are popular among expat families living in Pune. The most commonly offered curricula include the International Baccalaureate and the Cambridge IGCSE. Some international schools also offer a local curriculum, such as the CBSE or ICSE.
Parents should be aware that, due to high demand, admission to international schools is competitive, especially in the case of the more prestigious institutions. It's standard procedure to be asked to send in the child's recent reports, but some schools will also administer tests or conduct interviews as part of the admissions process.
