Ecole Mondiale World School Early Years is where a place at this Juhu school usually begins. It is the kindergarten stage of one of the established international names on our Mumbai city hub, running the IB Primary Years Programme and feeding directly into the primary grades and the rest of the continuum. Because the early years are the main intake, this is the stage families plan around. Tuition falls in the premium band for the city, at the gentler end of the Ecole Mondiale range, since fees rise with each stage.
This profile is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide takes no payment for coverage, and the early years stage appears here because relocating parents ask about it, not because the school paid to be listed. 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 early years run on the IB Primary Years Programme, which frames learning around inquiry led units rather than isolated subjects, with language, early numeracy and social skills developed through structured play and exploration. At kindergarten age the emphasis is on settling, curiosity and the habits of asking questions and reflecting, the foundations the rest of the continuum builds on. Teaching is in English, with exposure to additional languages introduced early.
What distinguishes the stage is that it starts a child on a single coherent pathway. The Primary Years Programme here leads into the primary grades, then the Middle Years Programme and finally the IB Diploma, so families are choosing a long term approach from the outset. Parents who want to understand where the journey leads can read our IB curriculum guide for the full continuum.

Ecole Mondiale World School Early Years fees
Early years tuition sits at the lower end of the Ecole Mondiale range on our Mumbai international school fees guide, though still in the premium band for the city, where premium schools run broadly from INR 11 to 18 lakh a year and costs climb through the grades. The kindergarten stage is the most affordable point of entry into a school that becomes more expensive in the MYP and Diploma years. Treat the figures as bands rather than a quote and confirm the current schedule with the school, because tuition is revised annually.
Beyond tuition, budget for a one time admission charge payable when a kindergarten place is taken, and for some families a deposit on entry. Optional school transport across the western suburbs is a common cost at this age, alongside uniforms, materials and the cost of trips and activities. Use the fee calculator to model the full annual figure for the early years rather than the headline tuition alone.
Admissions
Kindergarten is the principal entry point into Ecole Mondiale, and applications follow the Indian academic year, with the intake confirmed in the months before the start of the year. The school typically asks for any previous nursery records, meets the family and observes young children informally through play rather than a formal written test.
Because the early years are where most places are offered, the intake fills early, so families planning a move to Mumbai are advised to apply well ahead. Later entry into the primary or senior years depends on space opening up, so the kindergarten stage is the most reliable point to join. Contact the admissions team directly to check availability and the documents required.
Location and who goes there
The early years share the Ecole Mondiale campus in the JVPD Scheme in Juhu, in the western suburbs near the coast, an area associated with media and professional families and well linked to Bandra, Andheri and the wider western belt. For young families living across the western suburbs, the location is a practical draw, keeping the commute short for the youngest children.
The kindergarten intake is genuinely international, mixing expatriate families with internationally minded Indian households who want an IB start without moving across the city.
