For families comparing international schools in Bangalore who want a British style Cambridge pathway alongside an Indian board, Primus Public School is a frequently shortlisted name in the Sarjapur belt. 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
Primus follows a dual board structure that pairs the Indian and the British Cambridge routes. Through the middle grades pupils build a common foundation, and from Grades 9 and 10 a family chooses between ICSE, run under the CISCE board, and the Cambridge IGCSE. In Grades 11 and 12 the choice continues into the Indian School Certificate or the Cambridge A and AS Levels, the British style senior qualification recognised by universities worldwide.
For families who specifically want the British pathway, the Cambridge IGCSE and A Level route is the relevant one here, and our British curriculum guide explains how IGCSE and A Levels are structured and where they lead. To see how Primus sits against other schools on that route, our roundup of the best British schools in Bangalore sets it in context with its peers.
The dual board model means a family does not have to commit to a single system at entry, which suits households weighing an eventual move abroad against staying within the Indian system.

Primus Public School fees
Primus Public School fees sit in the mid to premium band for Bangalore, with the Cambridge route in the senior years tending towards the higher end. We do not publish a fee table here because the school sets and updates its own schedule by grade, and a number found second hand can be out of date by the time you enrol.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 IGCSE, ISC and A Level 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
Primus admits in line with the school year and considers applications through the year where places exist. Admissions normally reviews previous school reports and sets an interaction or assessment suited to the year group, with the senior grades weighed against the chosen board.
Demand for places along the Sarjapur corridor 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 off Sarjapur Road in the south of Bangalore, convenient for the Sarjapur, Electronic City and HSR Layout areas where many working and internationally mobile families live. The south city location shapes a community used to the technology sector rhythm and to families moving in and out of the city.

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