Does Rishi Valley School offer an international curriculum?

No. Rishi Valley School does not offer an international curriculum. The school is affiliated exclusively with the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), offering ICSE at Class X and ISC at Class XII. It does not offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, Cambridge International, or any other international board curriculum.
Several leading Indian boarding schools offer the IB or Cambridge International curriculum alongside Indian board options. Rishi Valley has chosen a different path. Its educational philosophy, rooted in the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti, places greater emphasis on self-awareness, inquiry, and holistic development than on curriculum branding or university pathway optimisation. The CISCE curriculum is delivered within that broader educational framework.
What Rishi Valley does offer that connects students to an international world is its participation in events through the KFI network, which includes partner schools in England and the United States. Those connections are built on the quality of students the school produces, not the curriculum label they carry.
