Why Choose an IB Boarding School
Boarding suits families with no IB school within commuting distance, transferable jobs, or a child ready for independence. Hill-station schools combine IB with outdoor programmes. Check hostel capacity, medical care and parent-contact policies.
Costs to Compare
Boarding fees combine tuition, boarding and one-time charges, and often exceed day-school fees. See our fees and admission guide and our broader residential schools by budget guide.
