At a glance
Curriculum and academics
As an IB World School, G.D. Goenka World School offers International Baccalaureate programmes, with the IB Diploma as the university facing route in the senior years. The residential model is the distinctive part: boarding from the upper primary years lets the school draw students from across India and from non resident Indian and expatriate families who want an international curriculum in a boarding setting. Confirm which IB programmes run at each stage, and any other pathways offered, directly with admissions.
For families comparing international routes across the capital and the wider region, our roundup of the best international schools in New Delhi provides context, although G.D. Goenka World School sits outside the city proper at Sohna.

G.D. Goenka World School fees
G.D. Goenka World School fees sit in the premium band for the Delhi NCR, and boarding adds materially to the day fee for residential students. The school publishes a current schedule and tuition rises with each stage, so confirm the live day and boarding figures with admissions rather than relying on a number found second hand. For the wider picture, see our guide to international school fees in New Delhi.
- Registration: a one off application or registration charge, normally non refundable
- Deposit: a place or caution deposit on acceptance to confirm enrolment
- Boarding: a residential charge for boarders, on top of tuition
- Extras: examination entry, transport for day students, uniform and trips
Admissions
The school admits for an April start in line with the Indian academic year, and considers day and boarding applications through the year where places exist. Admissions reviews previous school reports and sets assessments suited to the year group, with the senior grades weighed against the IB courses that lead to external examinations, and boarding entry assessed for readiness to live away from home.
Boarding places in popular year groups can be limited, so apply early and ask separately about day and residential availability for your child’s stage.
Location and who goes there
The campus is at Sohna, in the Gurugram district south of New Delhi, set on a large green site away from the dense city, which is part of the appeal for a boarding school but means day families need to factor in the distance from central Delhi.
The community spans families from across India alongside non resident Indian and expatriate households who want an international curriculum in a boarding setting, rather than the diplomatic catchment of the central city schools. For the full landscape of districts, curricula and fees across the capital, see the New Delhi city hub.
