American School of Bombay High School is the secondary stage of ASB, based at the Bandra Kurla Complex campus and part of the school mapped on our Mumbai city hub. It carries older students through the upper IB Middle Years grades and into the senior years, where they can work towards the IB Diploma, an American High School Diploma, or both. It sits among the most expensive schools in the city.
This profile is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide takes no payment for coverage, and ASB is listed because expatriate parents ask about its senior school, not because it paid. We researched the facts below from the school and public sources, and mark anything we could not confirm as not published.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
The high school completes the IB Middle Years Programme in the lower secondary grades, where students study across the disciplines and complete the personal project, before moving into grades 11 and 12. In the senior years students can take the IB Diploma, the two year qualification built around six subjects, the theory of knowledge course and the extended essay, and they can also work towards an American High School Diploma based on accumulated credits.
That dual route is the high school distinctive feature, because it lets a student aim at the IB Diploma while still earning the American Diploma that some United States universities expect. The practical questions for senior families are subject availability and recent university destinations, so ask the school for its current Diploma subject list and leavers data. Our IB curriculum guide explains how the Diploma is scored.

American School of Bombay High School fees
High school tuition is at the top of the ASB range and in the premium band on our Mumbai international school fees guide, among the most expensive in the city. The senior years generally carry the highest tuition in any school, and ASB long standing position serving consular and multinational families is reflected in its fees. Treat the figures as bands and confirm the current schedule with the school, since tuition is revised annually.
Beyond tuition, budget for a one time enrolment or capital charge and any deposit on entry. At high school level there are also examination entry fees for the IB Diploma, set by the board, along with transport to the Bandra Kurla Complex campus, trips and the cost of materials in Diploma subjects. Our fee calculator helps model the full annual figure for the senior years rather than tuition alone.
Admissions
ASB follows an August to June academic year, and the high school accepts applications on a rolling basis for that start, with most senior places confirmed in the spring beforehand. The school typically asks for recent school reports and sets an interview or placement assessment to confirm the right grade and, for grades 11 and 12, to guide subject choice and check the student can manage the Diploma workload.
Mid year entry into the senior years is harder than lower down the school, because the IB Diploma is a two year course that is difficult to join partway through. Families relocating to Mumbai on a corporate or consular timeline should contact admissions early to check availability and whether the student current subjects align with what ASB offers.
Location and who goes there
The high school sits at the Bandra Kurla Complex, the central business district that has become the focus for Mumbai international community, which suits older students who travel independently and the many expatriate families living in Bandra and the surrounding central suburbs. The lower school is a short distance away at Kohinoor City in Kurla West, so siblings at different stages remain part of one school.
The senior intake is heavily international, reflecting the school origins serving consular and multinational families, with most parents living within reach of the Bandra Kurla Complex.
