International schools

Gurugram has more IB and IGCSE schools than anywhere else in the NCR (the National Capital Region around Delhi).

Most of them are along the Golf Course Road and Aravali corridor. Places at the most sought-after schools, such as the American Embassy School, Pathways and Heritage Xperiential, are hard to get. Start 3 to 8 months ahead, with your IKAN consultant's help. For an American curriculum, the American Embassy School in Delhi's Chanakyapuri is still the gold standard. It is a workable 45-minute commute.

Fees are indicative annual tuition. Schools revise them every year and add admission, transport and other charges, so IKAN confirms the current fee with each school before you apply.

Apply 3-8 months before the start date. Gurugram's premier international schools are competitive. Start the admissions process 3 to 8 months before your intended start date. IKAN's education support team connects you with school admissions contacts directly and advises on grade equivalencies for international transfers. Contact us at the point of accepting your offer, not after arrival. American Embassy School families: start early and confirm transport logistics from Gurugram.

IKAN Health Support
IKAN helps identify the right hospital network before you arrive, assisting with international patient registration, medical record transfers, and India's healthcare billing system. Medanta, Fortis Memorial and Artemis all have direct billing arrangements with most international insurers. relo@ikan.com
Women's safety: Gurugram's corporate corridors, malls and gated societies are generally safe, including after dark, but, as across the wider NCR, sensible precautions matter. Prefer app-based cabs (Ola/Uber) with live trip-sharing over street autos late at night, keep the 24x7 Women Helpline (1091) and the all-emergency number (112) saved, and use the Haryana-112 and My SafetiPin apps. Most societies run 24x7 gated security; share your driver or cab details with someone on late-night journeys.
