Boarding or residential schools have always been popular with India’s upper middle class and elite. Every region in India has some famous residential schools and some are historical favorites all over the country. The recent boom influx of NRIs and foreigners, or expats in India has resulted in emergence of several international schools with global academic curricula.

Traditionally, boarding schools in India were located in picturesque locations. Nainital Dehradun, Mussorie (Uttaranchal), Sanawar (Himachal Pradesh), Darjeeling (West Bengal) and Ooty (Tamil Nadu) are places well known for their illustrious institutions. Schools here have a legacy dating back to over a hundred years.
