Ahmedabad International School

What Ahmedabad International School does

Ahmedabad International School (AIS) is a private K-12 international school operating from a single campus in Bodakdev, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, founded circa 2000 by Gorsi under the J N Education Society. The school serves approximately 1,500 students across Grades 1–12, delivered through a 233-employee faculty and staff team that maintains a 10:1 student-to-teacher ratio, with 82% of faculty holding advanced degrees. AIS holds a structurally distinctive position in the Gujarat market as the only school simultaneously affiliated with the International Baccalaureate Organization (IB World School, Code 001940), Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE Code IN417), and the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSEB). Up to Grade 10, students follow a common curriculum: IB-PYP (Grades 1–5), Cambridge Lower Secondary (Grades 6–7), and Cambridge IGCSE (Grades 8–10). For Grades 11–12, students choose between IBDP, Cambridge AS & A Levels, or GHSEB HSC streams in Science, Commerce, or Arts.

The school's product surface extends well beyond academic instruction. AIS operates an authorized AP, SAT, and ACT test center on campus and is affiliated with Trinity College London for music and arts certification. Co-curricular offerings include a Makerspace, a VR lab, an iPad-to-laptop device progression, and a structured Enrichment Program with paid modules covering career exploration, coding/robotics/digital fabrication, foreign languages, college counselling, and university-prep workshops (CAS, TOK, Extended Essay, Harvard, Academic Bridge) totaling INR 1,71,700 plus taxes for AY 26-27. Supporting services include food (INR 44,000/year) and distance-tiered transport (INR 22,750–67,000/year) covering 100+ pickup locations across Ahmedabad.

Commercially, AIS operates a direct-to-consumer model: families apply online, visit the campus for tours and admissions interactions, and pay annual tuition plus optional enrichment, food, and transport fees in installments. Revenue streams comprise tuition and school fees, enrichment program fees, food services, transport, AP exam fees (INR 15,000/subject), and a non-refundable INR 1,000 application fee. The school is privately held with no disclosed institutional or PE/VC backing, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. Distribution is anchored on the single Bodakdev campus, with a formal International Applicants program extending reach to non-Indian-passport families. Class of 2025 outcomes (90+ graduates, 650+ college acceptances across 7 countries, over $1M in scholarships to 50 students) are the primary marketing asset feeding inbound admissions demand.
