Many parents start by searching for CBSE schools in KR Puram, then widen the list. Takshashila follows the ICSE curriculum, not CBSE. Here's the short version of how the two differ:
| CBSE | ICSE | |
|---|---|---|
| Board | Central Board of Secondary Education | Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) |
| Focus | Structured syllabus closely tied to NCERT books and national entrance exams | Broader syllabus with strong English, detailed subject study and project work |

Both are recognised across India. If your child thrives on reading, writing and hands-on projects, ICSE is a strong fit. Read the full CBSE vs ICSE vs IGCSE comparison.
