What is available
CBSE is the most widely represented board, alongside ICSE and a smaller number of state-board and international-curriculum options. Both long-established schools and newer ones operate across the khands.
Because the area is planned, most residential pockets have at least one school within a short drive, and often within walking distance.
How admissions generally run
Most schools open admissions for the following academic year several months in advance, with forms, an interaction round for the family and a waiting list. Popular schools fill early.
Sibling policy, distance from the school and the date of application all commonly affect the outcome.
What to check when shortlisting
Beyond board and results: actual commute time at school-run hours rather than off-peak, transport routes and whether your khand is covered, class sizes, and the full fee structure including annual and transport charges.
Visit during a working day. The difference between a school on an open day and a school on a Tuesday morning is informative.
