Best Schools in Paschim Vihar, Delhi 2026-27

Paschim Vihar is one of West Delhi's deepest school markets, a settled colony since the 1980s with a CBSE-dominated ecosystem covering every budget, from neighbourhood schools to a dual-curriculum campus.

The Outer Ring Road splits the area in two, and that split shapes which schools are near you. This page lists schools in Paschim Vihar with their board, grades, fees and parent reviews.

Where Paschim Vihar's schools are

The Outer Ring Road divides Paschim Vihar into two halves. On the east side, the DDA blocks A, B and C were built on a grid in the 1980s, and this is where most schools are. A-2 Block alone packs in G.D. Goenka, Indraprastha World School, St. Sophia's and Saraswati Bal Mandir within walking distance of each other.

On the west side, the cooperative societies of Bhera Enclave, Meera Bagh and Mianwali Nagar had bigger land parcels, so the schools there, like Richmondd Global and Bhatnagar International, have larger campuses. The DDA side gives you density; the western side gives you campus size.

Notable schools in Paschim Vihar

The colony anchors, here since the early years, include Doon Public School in B-2 Block, DAV in Reserve Bank Enclave and Jesus Mary Joseph in Ankur Enclave. The national chains, G.D. Goenka, Maxfort and St. Mark's, brought branded infrastructure and pull families from across West Delhi.

At the premium end, Richmondd Global in Mianwali Nagar is the only school in the area offering Cambridge alongside CBSE, with Bhatnagar International known for its arts and co-curricular programme. Neighbourhood schools like Neo Convent, Sant Nirankari and Vishal Bharti round out the affordable end.

Which boards Paschim Vihar schools follow

Almost every private school in Paschim Vihar is CBSE, so the whole local ecosystem, from coaching to board prep for JEE and NEET, runs on one curriculum. Richmondd Global's Cambridge track is the one exception.

For ICSE, families look to Punjabi Bagh, and for IB, to Gurugram.

What schools in Paschim Vihar cost

Paschim Vihar covers the full range, from affordable neighbourhood CBSE schools to the premium western campuses and the dual-curriculum Richmondd Global at the top.

Transport and annual charges are added on top of tuition. Use the fee filter to narrow to your budget.

Getting to Paschim Vihar schools

Two Green Line stations, Paschim Vihar East and West, put the Rohini and Pitampura coaching clusters within about 20 minutes, which matters from Class 9 onwards when school and coaching run back to back. Because every school here is CBSE, there is no friction between what the school teaches and what the coaching expects.

Most schools also run their own buses across West Delhi.

Paschim Vihar or Dwarka?

Dwarka has newer schools and bigger playgrounds, but Paschim Vihar offers track record and a settled community. A school running in the same neighbourhood for 30 years has a record you can verify from any family on the street, while a three-year-old Dwarka campus has mostly promises.

The honest trade-off: Dwarka gives shinier buildings and more options, Paschim Vihar gives depth, proximity and decades of results.

How admission works in Paschim Vihar

Nursery and Class 1 admissions follow the Delhi Directorate of Education's points-based system, where neighbourhood distance carries the most weight. Living in Paschim Vihar gives a strong advantage for local schools. Forms open between November and December, with first lists in February.
