For families comparing international schools in Bangalore who are searching around the IB and want to know exactly what each school teaches, Mallya Aditi International School is a long established Yelahanka name worth understanding clearly. This profile sets out what GlobalSchoolGuide Editorial has verified about its curriculum, fees and admissions, so you can weigh it against the other options on your shortlist.
We are independent and no school pays to be listed, so this is a reference for relocating parents rather than promotion. Where a fact could not be confirmed from the school or a reliable source, we mark it as not published rather than guess.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Mallya Aditi follows a dual board structure. In Grades 9 and 10 a family chooses between the ICSE route, run under the CISCE board, and the Cambridge IGCSE route. In Grades 11 and 12 the choice is between the Indian School Certificate and the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education, which carries A and AS Levels. That flexibility suits households who are not yet certain whether they will remain in India or move internationally.
One point matters for searchers: although the school is widely associated with international study, it does not offer the IB Diploma Programme. If the IB is specifically what you want, our roundup of the best IB schools in Bangalore and the Bangalore IB hub cover the authorised IB World Schools in the city, and the IB curriculum guide explains how the Diploma differs from the Cambridge A Level route Mallya Aditi runs.
For families content with a strong ICSE or Cambridge pathway, the school long standing reputation and its mixed Indian and international intake are the main draw, and both the Indian and the Cambridge routes keep good university options open.
