Best Schools in Mayur Vihar, Delhi 2026-27

Mayur Vihar has roughly 30 active private schools spread across Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3. The biggest cluster sits in Phase 1 along the NH-24 stretch and Acharya Niketan, with Phase 3 picking up Khichripur and the Vasundhara Enclave end.

The vast majority are CBSE-affiliated. A handful run state board, and well-known names like Mother Mary's School and Ahlcon Public are CBSE senior secondary. There is no meaningful ICSE or IB presence inside Mayur Vihar itself.

Phase 1 has the highest density, including Ahlcon Public School, Mother Mary's, ASN International, Aster Public and Bal Bhavan. Phase 3 is the second cluster, anchored by Ryan International, Vidya Bal Bhawan, Bharat Bharti and Cosmos. Phase 2 is more residential with fewer dedicated schools.

Nursery and Class 1 admissions for the 2026-27 session typically open between November and January under the Delhi DoE points-based system. Distance from school within 1 to 6 km carries the most weight, so living within Mayur Vihar gives a strong neighbourhood advantage.

Mayur Vihar sits in East Delhi's mid-tier. Most CBSE schools charge between Rs 4,000 and Rs 12,000 per month in primary tuition, with senior secondary going higher for Science. Premium names like Ahlcon and G.D. Goenka adjacent in I.P. Extension run higher.

Most senior secondary schools run their own bus fleets covering Mayur Vihar Phases 1, 2, 3, plus Patparganj, I.P. Extension, Vasundhara Enclave, Noida Sector-12 and Kondli. Smaller primary schools usually skip transport.

Mayur Vihar has more total schools across the three phases, while Patparganj and I.P. Extension lean older and pricier. Many families pick a Mayur Vihar primary and consider switching to a Patparganj or I.P. Extension senior secondary, helped by the Pink and Blue line metro corridors.

Most schools ask for the child's birth certificate, Aadhaar of the child and one parent, address proof, passport-size photos, and the previous school's report card or transfer certificate where applicable. EWS and DG quota seats follow Delhi DoE norms with separate documentation.
