On this page
Start with our directory of international schools in Bangalore, which lists schools by curriculum and stage, then use this page to focus on value. The schools below sit in Bangalore's mid-range fee tier rather than at the premium end, and they admit by application rather than by catchment. This is a shortlist to research, not a ranking, and fees move every year, so confirm current figures with each school and our fees guide before deciding.
For the cheapest end of the market specifically, read our companion guide to the cheapest international schools in Bangalore, and compare the broader landscape in our school fee calculator and fees hub.
The shortlist
Inventure Academy
Inventure Academy in the Whitefield area is widely cited for accessible quality, offering Cambridge IGCSE and IB pathways at fees in the city's mid-range tier rather than the premium band. It is a natural first stop for tech corridor families who want an international curriculum without the boarding-campus price tag.
Greenwood High International School
Greenwood High pairs Cambridge IGCSE and the IB Diploma with fees that tend to sit below the premium boarding schools, which is part of its reputation for value. Families who want an examined IB route and a strong university record without the highest fees often shortlist it.
Trio World Academy
Established in 2007 in Sahakara Nagar near the airport road, Trio World Academy runs the IB Primary Years Programme, Cambridge in the middle years and IGCSE and the IB Diploma in the senior school. Its north Bangalore location and mid-range fees make it a practical option for families on the airport and Hebbal corridor.
Ebenezer International School
Ebenezer International School on Bannerghatta Road in south Bangalore offers Cambridge IGCSE within a values-led environment at accessible fees, and is regularly listed among the more affordable international options in the city. As with any school, confirm the exact curriculum and stages for your child's year group.
How we chose
We listed schools that are consistently placed in Bangalore's mid-range or affordable international tier and that offer a recognised international curriculum, and we have not ranked or scored them. We avoid printing precise tuition figures here because they change every year and vary by stage; instead we describe the tier and point you to the live fee data. Affordable is relative, and even the mid-range tier is a significant commitment once rent and the extras are added, so budget the whole picture rather than the headline fee alone.

Bangalore's mid-range international tier broadly starts from around three lakh rupees a year, against fifteen to twenty-five lakh at the premium boarding campuses, but these bands are indicative and exclude admission, transport and other charges. Rather than rely on a figure that dates quickly, see our guide to international school fees in Bangalore for current tuition by school and stage, and model rent and schooling together with the cost calculator before you commit.

Common questions
Inventure Academy, Greenwood High, Trio World Academy and Ebenezer International School are commonly cited among Bangalore's more affordable international schools, sitting in the city's mid-range fee tier rather than at the premium boarding end. Fees change each year, so check current figures in our international school fees in Bangalore guide before deciding.
Bangalore's mid-range international tier broadly runs from around three lakh rupees a year at the lower end, against fifteen to twenty-five lakh at the premium boarding campuses. These bands are indicative and exclude transport, admission and other charges, so treat them as a guide and confirm the exact figure with each school and our fees guide.
Bangalore's large international school market and tech-driven competition have produced a strong mid-range tier, where IB and IGCSE schools deliver quality at fees below those of comparable schools in Mumbai or Delhi. That value is why many relocating tech families choose the city, though the cheapest options still require careful budgeting alongside rent.
Yes. Several mid-range Bangalore schools offer Cambridge IGCSE and some offer the IB, so an accessible fee does not mean giving up an international curriculum. Confirm the exact curriculum and stages at each school, as some run IGCSE only while others add the IB Diploma in the senior years.
Beyond tuition, budget for a one-off admission or registration fee, an annual deposit or caution money, transport, meals, uniforms, examination fees and any learning support. These can add meaningfully to the headline figure, so use the cost calculator and ask each school for a full fee schedule before committing.
