Jain International Residential School

What Jain International Residential School does

Jain International Residential School (JIRS) is a private co-educational international residential school founded in 1999 by Dr. Chenraj Roychand under the JAIN Group, operating from its Kanakapura Road campus in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The school delivers Grades 5 through 12 across three parallel curricula — CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education), Cambridge IGCSE, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) — and serves 700+ boarding students drawn from 25+ countries, supported by 90+ faculty at a stated 1:8 staff-pupil ratio. Students sit alongside a 7000+ alumni network.

The school's core product is bundled residential education comprising academic instruction, professional sports training, and co-curricular programs (Harvard Model Congress, Model United Nations, Duke of Edinburgh's International Award, Life Skills Development Programme). Supporting infrastructure includes smart classrooms, a 25,000 sq ft library, five science laboratories, language and mathematics labs, an authorized College Board USA SAT center (the 2nd residential school in Bengaluru to receive this status), plus sports facilities headlined by a ₹25 crore multipurpose indoor stadium (SPRINTOOR), an AQUA aquatic complex with competition-grade pools, and an OVAL international-standard cricket ground that has hosted Asia Cup U-17 and U-19 Ghulam Ahmed Trophy matches. Specialized sports offerings include the SportsFit general fitness program and the SportsPro intensive athlete-track across 16 sports disciplines with 36+ coaches.

JIRS operates as a direct-to-consumer educational institution under the JAIN Group umbrella, monetizing primarily through recurring tuition and boarding fees charged to parents/students, supplemented by one-time non-refundable registration fees (INR 8,000 for Indian nationals; USD 150 for NRIs) and an approximately INR 40,000 non-refundable boarding facilities deposit. Admissions follow a sales-led funnel — enquiry, online application, the JAIN Excellence Test (JET), and personal interview with school authorities — reflecting a constrained-supply, merit-based boarding model. The institution generates additional pipeline value through placement partnerships with 17+ international universities spanning the UK, US, Canada, and Europe. No external venture capital, private equity, or public-market ownership structures are disclosed in the available data; the entity operates under private group ownership.
