RBK International Academy, usually shortened to RBK, is one of the international options families consider in the eastern suburbs, and it appears on our Mumbai city hub. It combines an IB Primary Years foundation with a Cambridge IGCSE middle stage and the IB Diploma in the senior years. The academy has held Cambridge affiliation since 2007 and sits in the mid to premium band of the Mumbai market.
This profile is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide does not accept payment for coverage, and RBK appears here because it is a real school relocating families ask about, not because it paid to be listed. 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
RBK runs a layered international pathway. The junior school follows the IB Primary Years Programme, framed around inquiry and transdisciplinary themes, before a Cambridge middle stage leads to the Cambridge IGCSE in Grades 9 and 10. The senior school then takes the two year IB Diploma Programme, with its six subject groups, the extended essay, theory of knowledge and the creativity, activity and service strand.
Pairing a Primary Years foundation with a Cambridge middle stage and an IB senior school gives families an inquiry led start and a broad, internationally recognised set of qualifications on the way to university. Families weighing the choice can read our IB curriculum guide and British curriculum guide to see how the programmes connect. The academy supports the curriculum with laboratories, sports and creative arts provision.

RBK International Academy fees
RBK sits in the mid to premium band on our Mumbai international school fees guide, a settled international option with tuition rising through the school as the IGCSE and Diploma years carry the highest cost. The school does not publish a single headline figure we can confirm, so treat any quote you see as indicative and confirm the current schedule directly with the admissions office.
Tuition is only part of the budget. Expect a one time admission charge when a place is taken, and a refundable deposit at some stages. Cambridge IGCSE and IB Diploma examination fees fall due in the relevant years and are billed separately, while transport, meals, uniform and trips add to the annual figure. The Mumbai secondary fees reference helps you compare shortlisted schools.
Admissions
RBK follows the Indian academic year, and entry is possible at most stages subject to availability in the relevant grade. The school asks for the standard documentation and a record of prior schooling, with an age appropriate interaction for younger children and assessments for older applicants joining the IGCSE or the Diploma. Senior places are limited and confirmed most easily at the start of a stage.
Because the Diploma is a structured two year course, mid year entry into Grades 11 and 12 cannot be relied upon. Families relocating to Mumbai should apply early, ask the admissions team directly about availability in the specific grade and confirm the timing of the annual intake.
Location and who goes there
The campus sits in the eastern suburbs of Mumbai, within the belt that runs from Chembur towards Mankhurd, an area with good road and rail links across the eastern side of the city and towards Navi Mumbai. The location keeps the academy within reach of the eastern suburbs and the growing residential areas beyond.
The intake is largely made up of local families across the eastern suburbs, with some internationally mobile households choosing the IB and Cambridge streams. For the wider picture of where international families settle across Mumbai and the schools near them, see the Mumbai city hub.
Reviews
We do not yet hold verified parent reviews for RBK International Academy. 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 RBK, 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.
