SVKM JV Parekh International School is one of the schools relocating families ask about when they look at the western suburbs of Mumbai, and it appears on our Mumbai city hub. It was set up in 2008 by the Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal, the long standing education trust behind several institutions in the area, and offers a Cambridge IGCSE route with the two year IB Diploma in the final years.
This is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide does not take payment for coverage, and the school appears here because it is a real option families weigh in Vile Parle, not because it paid for a listing. 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
The school follows a blended pathway that is common among the international schools of Mumbai. The middle and secondary years lead to Cambridge IGCSE examinations, giving families an internationally recognised grounding, and the senior school moves to the two year IB Diploma. The Diploma is built around six subject groups together with the extended essay, theory of knowledge and the creativity, activity and service strand.
Alongside the academic programme the school runs the usual mix of laboratories, art, music, sport and a calendar of clubs and service activity. Families weighing the senior choice can read our IB curriculum guide to understand how the Diploma is assessed and how universities in India and abroad regard it.

SVKM JV Parekh International School fees
SVKM JV Parekh International School sits in the upper band on our Mumbai international school fees guide, reflecting its IB Diploma senior school and Cambridge pathway. The school does not put a single headline figure in front of us that we can confirm, and numbers quoted on third party aggregator sites vary, 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 IB Diploma examination fees fall due in the senior years and are billed separately. Transport, meals, uniform and trips add to the annual figure. Families comparing the full cost across the city can use the Mumbai secondary fees reference alongside our compare tool.
Admissions
The school follows the Indian academic year and demand for places is strongest at the main intake points in the early years and at the start of the IGCSE stage. The admissions team asks for the standard documentation and a record of prior schooling, with an age appropriate interaction for younger children and assessments for older applicants.
Because the Diploma is a structured two year course, mid year entry into Grades 11 and 12 cannot be relied upon. Relocating families should apply as early as they can, 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 Vile Parle West, a well connected part of the western suburbs within reach of Andheri, Santacruz and Juhu and close to the domestic airport. The location suits professional families based across the western line who want an IB and Cambridge option without moving to the far suburbs.
The intake mixes internationally mobile households, returning Indian families and local professionals drawn by the Diploma pathway. For the wider picture of where international families settle across the city and the schools near them, see the Mumbai city hub.
