Among international schools in Bangalore and strong local options, Ekya Schools is a home grown network that has expanded across the city since 2010. This profile records what GlobalSchoolGuide Editorial has verified about its campuses, curricula, fees and admissions so you can place it accurately on your shortlist.
We are independent and no school pays to be listed. Because Ekya runs several campuses with different boards, confirm the detail with the specific site you are considering, and where something is not published we say so rather than guess.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Ekya offers a choice of boards across its network, which is part of what makes it flexible for relocating families. Some campuses follow CBSE, others offer ICSE, and selected sites run the Cambridge IGCSE route, so a family can often find an Ekya campus that matches both the board they want and a workable commute. The group is known for an in house approach to curriculum design layered on top of these boards.
English is the medium of instruction across the network. Families who specifically want a bilingual education, with sustained teaching in a second language, should read our guide to bilingual schooling to understand how that differs from the language programmes a mainstream English medium school offers, then ask each campus exactly which languages it teaches and to what level.

Ekya Schools fees
Ekya Schools fees sit in the mid band for Bangalore, below the premium IB schools but reflecting the group's facilities and the Cambridge option at some sites. Rates differ by campus, board and grade, and each campus publishes its own schedule, so confirm the current figures with the specific site. For where this sits across the city, see our guide to international school fees in Bangalore.
The headline tuition is only part of the budget. The components families usually meet on top are set out below, and they vary a little between campuses.
- 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
Ekya admits for the Indian school year, and each campus runs its own registration and interaction process suited to the age group. Because boards and year groups differ between sites, apply to the specific campus that matches the board and stage you want.
Popular campuses fill early, so register in good time and keep recent reports to hand. Ask each campus about its intake months and any waiting list if you are relocating outside the usual cycle.
Location and who goes there
Ekya campuses are spread across Bangalore, with sites in the south and east of the city among others, which means many families can reach an Ekya school without a punishing commute. Because the campuses vary in board, setting and facilities, choose by the combination of curriculum and travel time that works for your household.

Reviews
We do not yet have verified parent reviews for Ekya Schools. 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, share your experience through the school reviews hub and help the next relocating family decide with better evidence.
