Premier Co-ed Day-Cum-Boarding Schools

Co-ed day-cum-boarding schools, i.e day schools which also host a substantial number of boys and girls as boarders, constitute a special category in the annual EducationWorld India School Rankings.

The league table of India’s best co-ed day-cum-boarding schools has experienced a churn this year. After two years at the top, the reign of Daly College, Indore has ended with the Modern School, Barakhamba Road, Delhi (MSBR, estb.1920) pipping it by a short nose this year. And although Delhi Public School, RK Puram, a long-standing member of the high end of the Top 10 table, retains its #3 rank, this year it’s obliged to share it with the new genre Greenwood High, Bangalore which has been rising in the esteem of the informed public with each passing year. Delhi Public School, Dwarka (Delhi) has also retained last year’s #4 ranking, but two non-metro schools — SAI International, Bhubaneswar and Sanskaar Valley, Bhopal — both ranked #5 — have been promoted to the high end of the Top 10 table of co-ed day- cum-boarding schools.

Co-ed day-cum boarding schools, i.e, day schools which also host a substantial number of boys and girls as boarders, constitute a special category in the annual EducationWorld India School Rankings (EWISR) surveys. Unlike day schools simpliciter which attract local students, co-ed day- cum-boarding schools tend to pitch themselves higher to draw students from all parts of the country, and often from abroad. Therefore in terms of infrastructure, co-curricular and sports education, student care and services, as also student body diversity, they tend to offer more holistic education and better facilities. Therefore, they are ranked separately in the national and international categories.
