Best Schools in Greater Kailash I, Delhi 2026-27

Greater Kailash I is an upmarket South Delhi colony with only a handful of schools of its own: two long-established, community-run CBSE day schools that are surprisingly affordable, one premium IB school, and an early-years preschool — so fees here range from among the lowest in South Delhi to the very top.

Because it is an affluent, low-density residential area, families here also look outward to schools in Saket, Vasant Vihar and the wider south Delhi belt. What GK-I does offer is easy access: the Magenta Line runs right through it.

Where Greater Kailash I's schools are

The schools sit in the residential blocks rather than the commercial core. Mata Gujri Public School is opposite C-block, K.R. Mangalam Global School is on Nandi Vithi Road in N-block, and Guru Harkrishan Public School and the Pathways early-years centre are in the adjoining Hemkunt Colony. The famous M and N block markets are the colony's shopping and dining hub, so the school pockets are the quieter streets around them.

Notable schools in Greater Kailash I

The two best-known names are Mata Gujri Public School near C-block and Guru Harkrishan Public School in Hemkunt Colony — both CBSE, both run by Sikh community trusts, both taking children through to Class 12 at modest fees. For families wanting an international route, K.R. Mangalam Global School in N-block is an IB World School running the full IB continuum. The set is small — Greater Kailash is a premium residential colony rather than a school hub — so many families also consider schools in the neighbouring Kailash Colony, Pushp Vihar and Saket areas.

Which boards Greater Kailash I schools follow

CBSE is the main board, followed by the two established community day schools, while K.R. Mangalam Global offers the International Baccalaureate for families who want an international programme close to home. For ICSE or other IB and IGCSE options, parents typically also look to Vasant Kunj, Vasant Vihar and the wider south Delhi belt.

What schools in Greater Kailash I cost

Fees vary more widely here than the premium address suggests. The two CBSE community schools — Mata Gujri and Guru Harkrishan — are among the more affordable established schools in South Delhi, well suited to families wanting a settled GK-1 address without a heavy fee. At the other end, the IB school and the Pathways preschool sit firmly in the premium band. Whichever you consider, budget for admission, annual and development charges alongside tuition, and check each listing for the current figure as fees revise each session.

Do Greater Kailash I schools go up to Class 12?

Yes — Mata Gujri, Guru Harkrishan and K.R. Mangalam Global all run through to Class 12. The two CBSE schools offer the usual Science, Commerce and Arts streams at the senior stage, while K.R. Mangalam Global follows the IB Diploma or Career-related Programme. The Pathways centre is an early-years school and stops at kindergarten, after which children move to a mainstream school for Class 1.

Getting to Greater Kailash I schools

Greater Kailash is well connected. The Greater Kailash metro station on the Magenta Line, open since 2018, sits on R-block within GK-I, and Kailash Colony station on the Violet Line is a short hop away. Between the two lines and the colony's arterial roads, the school blocks are easy to reach by metro, auto or car.

How admission works in Greater Kailash I

Entry-class forms usually open between November and January for the coming session. Private schools set their own criteria and can be competitive given the area's demand, while DoE-recognised schools also weigh the Delhi points system that favours distance from home and siblings already enrolled. Apply early and keep documents ready.
