At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Candor gives families a genuine choice of route. Younger children can follow the IB Primary Years and Middle Years approach, while from the senior years students may sit Cambridge IGCSE and then continue to either the Cambridge AS and A Levels or the IB Diploma. That flexibility is unusual locally and helps families who are unsure whether their child will finish school in India or move on again.
The school is co educational and English medium, with additional languages offered through a multilingual language policy and support for students who are new to English. The campus carries an environmental focus and was recognised early for its green credentials, which threads through the wider programme.

Candor International School fees
Candor International School fees sit in the premium band for Bangalore, reflecting the large estate, the dual curriculum and the boarding provision. We do not publish a fee table here because day and boarding rates differ and the school updates its own schedule, so a second hand figure can mislead. Confirm the current fees directly with admissions, and ask separately for boarding costs if that interests you. For the city wide context, see our guide to international school fees in Bangalore.
Boarding families should budget for residential charges on top of tuition, while day families will meet the usual extras. The common components are set out below.
- Registration: a one off application or registration charge, normally non refundable
- Deposit: a place or caution deposit on acceptance to confirm enrolment
- Examination entry: board entry fees in the senior grades
- Extras: transport, uniform, meals, technology and trips
Admissions
Candor admits across the age range and considers applications through the year where places exist. The school normally looks at previous reports and an age appropriate assessment, with the senior grades weighed against the IGCSE, A Level and Diploma courses that lead to external examinations.
If boarding interests you, raise it early, as residential places and the relevant year groups can fill ahead of day places. Keep recent school reports to hand and ask about the assessment format when you register.
Location and who goes there
The campus sits on Begur Koppa Road off Bannerghatta Road, near Electronic City in the south of Bangalore, which suits families working in the southern technology corridor. The large green estate gives space for sport and the boarding houses, and the boarding option widens the catchment well beyond the immediate neighbourhood.
