NES International School is a familiar name for families looking at the central suburbs of Mumbai, and it appears on our Mumbai city hub. The Mulund West school was established in 2005 under the National Education Society, a trust whose roots in the city go back several decades, and it has run the IB programme since 2009. It offers the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma programmes together with Cambridge IGCSE.
This profile is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide accepts no payment for coverage, and the school is listed because it is a real choice families weigh in Mulund, 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
NES International School is one of a small number of Mumbai schools that runs the full IB continuum. Younger children follow the Primary Years Programme, the middle school follows the Middle Years Programme and the senior school leads to the two year IB Diploma, with Cambridge IGCSE available at the secondary stage. The continuum gives a consistent inquiry led approach from the early years through to pre university study.
The academic programme sits alongside laboratories, art, music, sport and a busy co curriculum. The full continuum can appeal to internationally mobile families who value continuity of method as a child moves up the school. Our IB curriculum guide explains how each stage is structured and how the Diploma is assessed.

NES International School Mumbai fees
NES International School sits in the upper band on our Mumbai international school fees guide, in line with its full IB continuum. The school does not publish a single figure we can confirm, and figures on third party aggregator sites vary, so treat any number you see 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 picture. 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 to secure at the main intake points, particularly in the early years and at the start of the IGCSE and Diploma stages. 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.
Places in the senior IB years are limited and confirmed most easily at the start of a stage, so 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 Mulund West, in the central suburbs on the boundary with Thane, an area that has grown in popularity with professional families for its residential feel and connections along the central line. The setting places the school within reach of Mulund, Bhandup and the wider Thane belt.
The intake blends internationally mobile families, returning Indian households and local professionals drawn by the full IB continuum. 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 NES International 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.
