How to Choose
- Geography matters. Stonehill, Canadian International and Trio World are north; Candor, Treamis and Sarala Birla are south near Electronic City and Bannerghatta; Bishop Cotton and Baldwin are central. Bengaluru traffic makes commute the decisive factor for day schools.
- IB versus IGCSE. Stonehill offers all four IB programmes; Canadian International combines PYP-aligned primary, IGCSE and the Diploma.
- Heritage or new. Bishop Cotton (1865) and Baldwin (1880) offer long traditions in central locations; Stonehill, Candor and Trio are purpose-built campuses from the 2000s.
- Class 10 endpoints. Baldwin Boys' and Girls' end at Class 10, so plan Class 11 separately.
