525 schools, four curricula
A working census of India's private residential and day-cum-residential schools across the IB, Cambridge, ICSE and CBSE systems (90 full-boarding, 435 day-cum-residential), geo-tagged for competitive and site-selection analysis.
What is included. Private residential schools (447 ICSE, 30 IB, 24 Cambridge, 24 CBSE) plus a small set of marquee cross-board campuses, drawn from the EducationWorld India School Rankings 2025-26 boarding and international categories, the CISCE official school directory, and Digital Learning rankings. Government residential schools (Sainik, Navodaya, Kendriya Vidyalaya, military) are excluded.
How to read it. Each pin is one school, coloured by board. Full-boarding campuses are solid; day-cum-boarding are lighter. Clusters expand as you zoom. This is the competitive landscape RAYSolute uses when advising on a new residential school: where the demand pools, where the whitespace is, and who the real local competitors are.
