Schools in Bandra: Boards, Areas and Admissions
Bandra has a long-established school belt in Bandra West and two international campuses in Bandra East near BKC. This guide lists the schools in our research file with their board and locality, and explains how to use that when comparing the 105 projects we track. For area-wise context see schools near project areas.
Schools in Bandra at a glance
Our file names 13 schools across Bandra West and Bandra East. Most of the Bandra West schools are convent or mission-linked institutions on the State Board or ICSE, while the two Bandra East entries are international schools in the BKC area.
The list is not exhaustive. It covers schools that at least two independent listings agree on, so a well-known school missing here may simply not have met that bar yet. Always confirm board, classes offered and fees on the school's own site.

Where the schools cluster
Bandra West holds eleven of the thirteen schools. The localities research places St Stanislaus High School on Hill Road, described there as about 165 years old, and shows Mount Mary Convent in the Mount Mary pocket. IES Manik Vidyamandir sits in the ONGC Colony area of Bandra Reclamation.
The localities file also lists Bai Avabai Framji Petit Girls High School as a landmark of Pali Hill. It is not in the schools file, so its board is not stated here.
How to use this when choosing a project
Schools in Mumbai are rarely chosen on distance alone, but daily commute time matters for young children. A project within a short drive of two or three suitable schools gives you fallback options if a first-choice admission does not come through.
Start with the board you want, shortlist schools on this list, then check which of our 62 Bandra West or 43 Bandra East projects sit within a realistic school run. Ask the school directly about seat availability and admission years before you commit to a flat.
