Chatrabhuj Narsee School is one of the newer international options in the western suburbs of Mumbai and appears on our Mumbai city hub. Set up under the education family associated with the Narsee Monjee Educational Trust and SVKM, the Kandivali East school was inaugurated in 2016 and runs a Cambridge pathway to IGCSE with the IB Diploma in Grades 11 and 12. It should not be confused with the older Chatrabhuj Narsee Memorial School in Vile Parle, which follows the ICSE route.
This is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide takes no payment for coverage, and the school is listed because it is a real choice families weigh in Kandivali, not because it paid to appear. We researched the facts below from the school and public sources at the time of writing and mark anything we could not confirm as not published.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
The school runs the Cambridge pathway through the early years, primary and lower secondary stages to IGCSE in Grade 10, then the two year IB Diploma in Grades 11 and 12. That structure gives families a recognised international route from the youngest years to pre university study on a single campus.
As a newer school it has built its facilities around this pathway, with laboratories, art, music, sport and a programme of clubs and service. Families weighing the senior choice can read our IB curriculum guide to understand how the Diploma is assessed and how universities regard it against the Cambridge route.

Chatrabhuj Narsee School fees
Chatrabhuj Narsee School sits in the mid to upper band on our Mumbai international school fees guide. The school does not publish a single figure we can confirm, and numbers on third party aggregator sites vary, so treat any quote as indicative and confirm the current schedule directly with the admissions office. Tuition typically rises through the school, with the Diploma years carrying the highest cost.
Tuition is only part of the budget. A one time admission charge usually applies on entry, IB examination fees fall due in the senior years, and transport, meals, uniform and trips add to the annual total. Families comparing the full cost across the city can use the Mumbai secondary fees reference alongside our compare tool.
Admissions
The school follows the Indian academic year and places are most straightforward at the main intake points in the early years and at the start of the IGCSE stage. Applicants provide the standard documentation and a record of prior schooling, with an age appropriate interaction for younger children and assessments further up the school.
As the Diploma is a structured two year course, mid year entry into Grades 11 and 12 cannot be relied upon. Relocating families should apply early and ask the admissions team directly about availability in the grade they need.
Location and who goes there
The campus sits in Kandivali East, in the western suburbs off the Western Express Highway, an area that has drawn professional families for its residential growth and connections along the western line. The location places the school within reach of Kandivali, Borivali and Malad.
The intake blends local professional families, returning Indian households and internationally mobile parents looking for a Cambridge and IB route in the western suburbs. For the wider view of where international families settle across the city, see the Mumbai city hub.
Reviews
We do not yet hold verified parent reviews for Chatrabhuj Narsee School. GlobalSchoolGuide is independent and no school pays to be listed, so we publish reviews only once we can confirm they come from real families. If your child attends or has attended the school, we would value your first hand account of teaching, pastoral care and the admissions experience. Share it through the school reviews hub and help the next relocating family decide with better information. We do not display a star rating until verified reviews exist.
