Best Schools in Kalkaji, Delhi 2026-27

Kalkaji is a mid-to-upper-tier South East Delhi school pocket where the established schools are almost entirely CBSE, with no confirmed ICSE or international school inside Kalkaji itself.

The best-known schools include Guru Harkrishan Public School in B-Block, the girls' school Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar, and Deepalaya School on the Kalkaji Extension and Govindpuri border. Most sit around B-Block and the Kalkaji Extension edge, and the area is anchored by the Kalkaji Mandir metro interchange.

This page lists schools in Kalkaji with their board, grades, fees and parent reviews, so you can shortlist by what matters to your family.

Where Kalkaji's schools are

Kalkaji's schools concentrate on the eastern and southern residential blocks. Guru Harkrishan Public School sits in B-Block near the gurudwara, while Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar and Deepalaya School both sit on the Kalkaji Extension edge towards Govindpuri.

The government School of Specialised Excellence is in Block DD. The Alaknanda and Greater Kailash fringes hold their own school clusters that listing sites often fold into "Kalkaji", but which sit just outside it.

Notable schools in Kalkaji

Guru Harkrishan Public School in B-Block is a long-running co-educational CBSE school running from Nursery to Class 12. Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar in Kalkaji Extension is a CBSE girls' school, and Deepalaya School, on the Kalkaji Extension and Govindpuri border, is a co-educational CBSE school taking children through to Class 12.

Which boards Kalkaji schools follow

Kalkaji is effectively a CBSE market. The established private schools are all CBSE, alongside the government School of Specialised Excellence.

There is no confirmed ICSE, IB or IGCSE school inside Kalkaji. Families who want those usually look to neighbouring Greater Kailash and New Friends Colony.

What schools in Kalkaji cost

Kalkaji sits in South Delhi's mid-to-upper fee band, though its own CBSE schools cluster at the affordable-to-mid end. Annual fees for the in-area schools broadly run from around ₹28,000 to ₹65,000, varying by class and year, so confirm the current figure with each school.

The premium and international fees that push the South East Delhi ceiling much higher belong to neighbouring Greater Kailash, not Kalkaji. Transport, where offered, is charged separately.

Do Kalkaji schools go up to Class 12?

Yes. The main CBSE schools, Guru Harkrishan, Sri Sathya Sai and Deepalaya, all run the full range to Class 12, and the government School of Specialised Excellence covers Classes 9 to 12.

So a child can complete schooling within Kalkaji without moving areas for the senior years.

Getting to Kalkaji schools

Kalkaji Mandir is a major interchange between the Violet and Magenta Lines, with onward links towards Kashmere Gate, Faridabad, Janakpuri West and the Botanical Garden. Nehru Place and Govindpuri are close by on the same corridor, so the area is easy to reach from across South and Central Delhi.

How admission works in Kalkaji

Nursery and Class 1 admissions follow the Delhi Directorate of Education's points-based system, where distance from home to school matters most. Living inside Kalkaji helps at admission time for the neighbourhood schools.
