It begins with a quiet question that lives in the heart of every parent in Mumbai: Where will my child not just learn, but truly belong? You scroll through lists of the best schools in Malad, attend open houses and weigh curricula, all while holding a silent hope for something more. You’re not just looking for an institution; you’re searching for a second home that will see the unique spark in your child and gently, expertly, help it become a flame.
This search for a profound partnership in your child’s growth is why many families, looking at international schools in Mumbai, find their answer at Mainadevi Bajaj International School (MBIS).
Here, we understand that choice intimately. We know your decision is woven from dreams of your child’s future and anxieties about their today. It’s the desire for them to be academically brilliant but also kind, globally competitive yet locally grounded, challenged but never overwhelmed. This is the space where MBIS exists – not as a factory of education but as a nurturing ecosystem.
Here, the globally respected Cambridge path, with its deep focus on the critical thinking and independent research of the AS & A Levels, is seamlessly blended with something rarer: a “Boutique Learning Experience.”
This means your child is known, valued and guided not as one of many, but as the one and only individual they are.
A Curriculum That Speaks to the Future, A Community That Listens Today
Walking through our campus, you feel a different rhythm. In one classroom, a lively debate hones critical thinking; in the lab, the focus is on solving real-world problems. This is the Cambridge advantage in action – forging agile, analytical minds ready for top universities worldwide.
But look closer. The teacher isn’t just lecturing; they’re mentoring, because our classrooms are designed for dialogue, not monologue. This is the boutique difference. It’s the promise that a dedicated educator is “always available to assist,” transforming potential anxiety over a complex subject into a moment of connection and clarity.
For a child transitioning from a different board or a new country, this culture of accessible support isn’t just beneficial; it’s transformative, building the confidence to thrive.


Where Confidence is Built, One Passion at a Time
We believe a child’s confidence isn’t found in a textbook alone. It is discovered on the stage where they deliver their first line, on the field where they score the winning goal and in the design studio where their model wins a national award.
Holistic development at MBIS Mumbai is not a side offering; it is central to our mission. Our students are as proud of their gold medals in national skating as they are of their academic accolades. A champion debater here is also a coder; a science enthusiast shines in the school play.
This intentional cultivation of diverse passions ensures every child finds their unique stage, building a resilient sense of self that no exam result can ever reflect. It is this commitment to educating the whole person that anchors our place among the leading international schools in Mumbai.
The Unspoken Promise: A Partnership with Parents
The most heartfelt feedback we receive from parents rarely mentions rankings first. It speaks of a child who now “embraces school life with enthusiasm and joy,” of teachers who provide “loving guidance,” and of a community that feels like an extension of home.
This is the soul of MBIS. We build a partnership with you, united in the goal of nurturing not just a successful student, but a happy, compassionate and grounded individual.
Our recent recognition as a leading institution in Mumbai and among Asia’s best is a validation of this collective commitment, but our true measure is in the daily moments of growth we share with your family.
