Manthan International School

What Manthan International School does

Manthan International School is a private K-12 day school operating on a 5-acre Tellapur campus in the Sangareddy District near Hyderabad, India. It serves students from Nursery (age 2.5) through Grade 12 under a dual Cambridge/CBSE curriculum, with families choosing between the Cambridge pathway (IGCSE and AS/A Levels) and CBSE from Grade 8. The school is part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP) network, which provides eight International Learning Opportunities (ILOS) programmes, university-counselling integrations and access to a global peer ecosystem. Enrolment is anchored by a stated teacher base of 210+ and a transport fleet of 50+ buses serving 1,400+ students daily, with academic outcomes consistently above international Cambridge averages (64% A/A* in IGCSE 2024; 71% A*/A; 6 and 13.33 points above international averages in Cambridge Checkpoint Primary and Lower Secondary respectively; 43.8% of Grade 10 CBSE students scoring above 90%). The school is ranked 4th in Hyderabad and Telangana and 15th in India in Education World's International Day Schools ranking for 2025-26, its third consecutive year of top-tier recognition, and has earned Cambridge Outstanding Learner's Awards for four consecutive years (2023-2026).

The school's product surface spans Pre-Primary, Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Lower Secondary, Cambridge Upper Secondary, Cambridge Advanced and CBSE tracks, supplemented by an in-house Quality Circle Time life-skills framework (Cambridge-backed, co-developed through Camtree at Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge), JEE preparation, Special Needs Education with Individual Educational Plans (IEPs), multilingual instruction across English/Hindi/Telugu/French and a broad extracurricular programme. Technology infrastructure described on the school's website includes smart classrooms with interactive boards, equipped science and IT labs, EdTech-enabled personalised learning platforms, real-time transport tracking, the myclassboard.com parent portal and integrations with Unifrog, Cialfo and College Board for university and SAT placement. Notable recent moves include the September 2025 launch of a Nursery Programme (age 2.5-3.5) and the March 2026 launch of 'Manthan 2.0', opening Block 3 with expanded sports, dining, and academic facilities.

The revenue model is a single annual tuition subscription per enrolled student across the Cambridge and CBSE programmes, with a 7-step domestic admissions process and a parallel international admissions process for overseas families. Go-to-market relies on a sales-led approach: EWISR-driven brand credibility, parent testimonials, school tours, the website enquiry flow and word-of-mouth within the Hyderabad/Telangana parent community. Pricing is not publicly disclosed in detail; the website provides a fee calculator referencing application and registration fees and potential sibling discounts. Backing by the ISP network functions as a partnership arrangement rather than disclosed ownership, and the school does not have public-ticker status, public funding rounds or disclosed capital structure in the source material.
