Jamnabai Narsee International School

What Jamnabai Narsee International School does

Jamnabai Narsee International School (JNIS) is a Mumbai-based K-12 international school operated by the Narsee Monjee Educational Trust (NMET), a charitable educational trust founded in 1970. The school was established in 2015 as the international-curriculum arm of the broader Jamnabai Narsee School (founded 1971), delivering the full IB Continuum — Primary Years Programme (PYP, Grades 1-5), Middle Years Programme (MYP, Grades 6-10), and Diploma Programme (IBDP, Grades 11-12) — alongside Cambridge IGCSE for Grades 8-10 and Cambridge Checkpoint assessments at Grade 8. JNIS serves students from upper-middle-class and affluent Mumbai families seeking globally recognized credentials, evidenced by placements at Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, and other top international universities.

The school's product surface is built on three layers: (1) core academic curricula delivered on a single 200,000 sq ft campus in Vile Parle (West), Mumbai; (2) a co-curricular and enrichment stack including NMCE after-school programs (foreign languages, robotics, performing arts), SVAYAM community service in Gujarat, Model UN via the International Youth Conference, TEDxYouth events, the Duke of Edinburgh/IAYP award, and peer mentoring (JAM); and (3) a digital operations layer using the Edusprint ERP for fee payment and student records, ManageBac as the parent/student academic portal, and OpenApply for online admissions. Revenue is generated almost entirely from recurring annual tuition fees across IB and Cambridge programs, supplemented by after-school program fees and family counselling services (Rs. 5,000 for three sessions). Specific tuition amounts are not publicly disclosed. GTM is direct-to-consumer via an annual September admissions window, JNET entrance testing, and parent orientations, with no published digital advertising spend and minimal reliance on paid acquisition channels. The institution is trust-owned with no external investors, no venture backing, and no publicly traded equity.
