At a glance
For families comparing international schools in Bangalore with a compact, centrally placed campus and a strong international mix, TRIO World Academy is among the established north Bangalore choices. 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
TRIO runs an internationally focused pathway: the IB Primary Years Programme in the early and junior years, Cambridge Lower Secondary and IGCSE through the middle school, and the IB Diploma Programme in the senior years. The combination lets a child build inquiry based habits early, sit the widely recognised Cambridge IGCSE, and finish on the IB Diploma, a route that travels well if a family relocates again.
The school is co educational and English medium, and its long standing international intake means classmates and teaching draw on many backgrounds. For how TRIO sits among the city's leading names, see our roundup of the best international schools in Bangalore.
TRIO World Academy fees
TRIO World Academy fees vary by grade and programme, and the school sets and updates its own schedule, so a second hand figure can mislead. We do not publish a fee table here.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.
Comparing two Bangalore offers?
Put TRIO World Academy side by side with up to two other Bangalore schools on curriculum, stage and fee band before you decide.
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 IGCSE and Diploma 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
TRIO admits across the age range and considers applications through the year where places exist. Admissions normally reviews previous school reports and sets an age appropriate assessment, with the senior grades weighed against the Cambridge IGCSE and IB Diploma courses that lead to external examinations.
Because the campus is compact and the international intake strong, register early for sought after year groups and ask about waiting lists if you are relocating off cycle. Keep recent reports and any external test results to hand so the school can place your child accurately.
The academic year and term dates follow the international calendar associated with the IB and Cambridge programmes rather than the Indian board year, so request the current dated calendar from admissions before fixing relocation dates. If your child is joining the IGCSE or Diploma years, ask how prior subjects map onto the courses on offer, as some combinations are set early and are harder to change once teaching has begun.
Families also tell us the international mix matters in practice as much as the curriculum, since a child arriving mid year settles faster where classmates have themselves moved between countries. Ask admissions how new joiners are supported in the first term and whether any language or settling in help is available.
Location and who goes there
The campus is in Sahakar Nagar, off Bellary Road in north Bangalore, a residential pocket that is well connected towards the airport corridor and the central city. The location and the long international history make TRIO a practical option for relocating and diplomatic families who want a recognised curriculum without a long commute.
