By board
CBSE schools in India
The most widely recognised Indian board, and the safest option if there is any chance of returning to a mainstream school mid-stream. Only a school with genuine CBSE affiliation can enter students directly; others coach you through a private-candidate or Patrachar route, which is a materially different arrangement. Ask which one applies before enrolling.

| 11 | Heritage Xperiential Learning School Sector 62, Gurugram, Haryana · Delhi NCR | Alternate | CBSE (Affiliation No. 530550) · separate international stream: International Primary Curriculum, IGCSE and the IB Diploma | Nursery – Grade XII | ₹4.56L – ₹5.32L / yr School-published composite fee for the 2027–28 CBSE session at the Sector 62 campus, billed quarterly in four instalments; the annual figures here are those quarterly amounts multiplied by four. On top sit a one-time non-refundable admission fee of ₹2,30,000 and refundable caution money of ₹1,13,900 to ₹1,33,000. The composite fee excludes meals (₹42,960–₹52,560 a year), transport (₹91,320–₹1,21,320 a year), books and stationery, sports enrichment, clubs, coaching, trips and camps, external examinations, therapies, learning support and college advisory — each billed separately. A 10 per cent sibling concession applies to one sibling only. A first year in Grade XI therefore starts near ₹7.6 lakh before any option is added. | SchoolMyKids · 42 ratings |
