Schools in Bhandup

Bhandup is one of the prominent suburbs in the central part of Mumbai. Decades ago, the central part of Mumbai was sparsely inhabited. But with the ever increasing population of Mumbai owing to the varied economic opportunities the city provides, the city started expanding. With increase in inhabitants in terms of families, the need for other facilities also increased. To meet the need of education many schools also came up in this area. These schools offer multiple boards such as SSC, ICSE, CBSE, and IGSCE as well. A few IB schools have also come up in this area.

For a good part of the last decade, Mumbai has been growing rapidly on the economic scale. Disposable incomes of individuals have increased as a result of rising education standards. Professional qualifications such as Engineering, Medicine, MBAs, and Chartered Accountant are the norm of the day. Due to the substantial rise in incomes, the demand for residential properties in Bhandup has also been on an upward trend.

For meeting this very need, varied schools have come up and are also offering different courses. IB schools also have come up in the area which offer courses in accordance with guidelines set by the International Baccalaureate which is an educational foundation based out of Geneva in Switzerland. The curriculum for these schools is internationally recognized.
