At a glance
If your shortlist of international schools in Bangalore centres on a full IB pathway with boarding, Stonehill International School is one of the established North Bengaluru names. This profile sets out what GlobalSchoolGuide Editorial has verified about its curriculum, fees and admissions so you can weigh it against the rest of your shortlist.
We are independent and no school pays to be listed. Where a fact could not be confirmed from the school or a reliable source, we mark it as not published rather than guess.
Curriculum and academics
Stonehill is an authorised IB World School that offers all three core programmes in sequence: the Primary Years Programme in the early and junior years, the Middle Years Programme through the middle school, and the IB Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12. A single, continuous IB pathway suits families who value the inquiry based approach from the outset and who may move on to another IB school elsewhere in the world.
The school is co educational and English medium, and its international accreditation through the Council of International Schools and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges places it within a recognised global quality framework.

Stonehill International School fees
Stonehill International School fees sit in the upper band for Bangalore, reflecting the full IB continuum, the boarding provision and the facilities across the 34 acre campus. Rates differ by grade and by whether boarding is taken, and the school updates its own schedule, so we do not publish a fee table here. Confirm the current fees directly with admissions, and for the city wide context see our guide to international school fees in Bangalore.
Not sure Stonehill International School is the right fit?
Answer five quick questions and our school finder shortlists three Bangalore schools matched to your child.
When you budget, look past the headline tuition to the components families typically meet on top, which are listed below and can rise in the Diploma years and again where boarding is taken.
- 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
Stonehill admits across the age range and considers applications through the year where places exist. Admissions normally reviews previous reports and sets an age appropriate assessment, with the senior grades weighed against the demands of the IB Diploma Programme.
If you are relocating and considering boarding, ask early about house places, the pastoral set up and weekly versus full time options, as demand for the senior years is strong. Keep recent school reports and any external test results to hand so the school can place your child accurately.
Because the school runs the full IB continuum, the academic year and term dates follow the international rather than the Indian board calendar, so request the current dated calendar from admissions if you are timing a move. Where a child is entering the Diploma years, ask how subject choices and any prior coursework will be mapped onto the IB requirements before you confirm relocation dates.
Location and who goes there
The campus sits in North Bengaluru, roughly twenty minutes from the Kempegowda International Airport, which is convenient for families who travel often and for boarders arriving from outside the city. The northern corridor has grown quickly around the airport and the technology parks, and the school draws a genuinely international cohort across its day and boarding places.
