Sarala Birla Academy sits on Bannerghatta Jigni Road in the south of Bangalore and features on our Bangalore city hub. Founded in 2004 and part of the Aditya Birla group of schools, it is a boys residential school set on a campus of around sixty four acres, one of the larger school estates in the city.
We compile these profiles independently and take no payment from any school for a listing. The facts below were drawn from the school and public sources at the time of writing, and anything we could not confirm is marked plainly rather than guessed.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Sarala Birla Academy gives senior boys a choice of routes. At Grades 9 and 10 they can take ICSE or Cambridge IGCSE, and at Grades 11 and 12 they can sit ISC or the IB Diploma Programme. That flexibility lets a boarding family match the leaving qualification to the country where a boy is likely to go on to university.
As a residential school the academic day runs alongside a structured boarding and activities programme across its houses. Families weighing the leaving routes can read our Cambridge guide and IB guide to see how each is structured and how universities read the results.

Sarala Birla Academy fees
Sarala Birla Academy charges residential fees, which place it in the upper band on our Bangalore international school fees guide once boarding is included. Published third party figures date quickly and vary, so treat any quote you see elsewhere as indicative and confirm the current residential schedule directly with the admissions office.
Boarding fees cover more than tuition, but a one time admission charge and deposits may still apply, and uniform, trips, activities and personal expenses add to the annual total. Families comparing the full cost across the city can use the Bangalore secondary fees reference alongside our compare tool.
Admissions
Admission depends on space in the relevant grade, previous school reports and any assessment or interview the admissions team arranges. As a residential school the team is used to enrolling boys whose families are posted in other cities or countries and arranging boarding from the point of joining.
Places in the boarding houses are limited, so families should contact the admissions office well ahead, share recent records and ask directly about residential availability rather than assume a place will open in a given year.
Location and who goes there
The campus sits on Bannerghatta Jigni Road in the south of Bangalore, set back from the city on a large green estate that suits a residential school. The location draws boarding families from across India and beyond rather than from a single local catchment.
The intake is national and international, reflecting the boarding model and the school's place in the Aditya Birla group. For the wider view of where families settle across Bangalore, see the Bangalore city hub.
Reviews
We do not yet hold verified parent reviews for Sarala Birla Academy, so we do not show a star rating. GlobalSchoolGuide is independent and no school pays to be listed, and we publish reviews only once we can confirm they come from real families. If your son attends or has attended the academy, your first hand account of the boarding and academic pathways would help the next family. Share it through the school reviews hub.
