For families comparing international schools in Bangalore that offer a complete IB pathway with the backing of an international group, Oakridge International School is one of the established names in the east of the city. 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
Oakridge runs the IB as a continuum, so a child can move from the Primary Years Programme in the junior grades, through the Middle Years Programme in the middle school, and into the IB Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12 without changing board. The Diploma carries its six subject groups and the core of creativity, activity and service, theory of knowledge and the extended essay, which together shape the senior years.
Being part of the Nord Anglia group connects the school to a wider international network, which can matter to families who move between countries and want some continuity of approach. For families weighing the international route against other boards available locally, our roundup of the best international schools in Bangalore sets Oakridge in context with its peers, and the IB curriculum guide explains how the continuum and the Diploma work.
The inquiry led IB approach runs from the youngest classes upward, so the teaching style is consistent across the school rather than changing sharply between stages.

Oakridge International School fees
Oakridge International School fees sit in the premium band for Bangalore, reflecting the full IB continuum, the campus facilities and the international group membership. We do not publish a fee table here because the school sets and updates its own schedule by grade, and a number found second hand can be out of date by the time you enrol. Confirm the live figures directly with admissions. For the wider picture across the city, see our guide to international school fees in Bangalore.
When you budget, look beyond the headline tuition. The components families typically meet on top are listed below, and external examination entry applies in the Diploma years.
- 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
Oakridge admits in line with the international school year and considers applications through the year where places exist. Admissions normally reviews previous school reports and sets an assessment suited to the year group, with the senior grades weighed against the demands of the IB Diploma.
Demand for IB places along Varthur Road and the wider Sarjapur belt is steady, so register early for sought after year groups and ask about waiting lists if you are relocating outside the standard cycle. Keep recent reports and any external test results to hand, as these help the school place your child accurately.
Location and who goes there
The campus is on Varthur Road in the Sarjapur area of east Bangalore, near the Sarjapur and Whitefield corridors where many international and technology sector families live. The east city location shapes a community used to relocation and the international school routine.
