Stonehill International School — Bangalore, India
School type: IB Continuum School · IB Programmes: PYP, MYP, DP · Live coaching in IST (India)
Stonehill International School is a full IB Continuum school in north Bangalore, founded in 2008. Stonehill runs PYP, MYP, and DP, sitting on a large campus near Yelahanka. The school is operated by the Embassy Group as a not-for-profit and is one of the higher-fee international schools in Bangalore. Day and weekly-boarding options are both offered.
Stonehill's IB Diploma cohort is mid-sized for a Bangalore IB school, with IB Biology HL and SL both offered each year. The school has publicly reported diploma averages above the global mean — recent cohort averages have been in the 33–36 point range, with the strongest students scoring 40+ (publicly reported in the school's annual results communications). The Biology department supports the full the IB practical programme syllabus.
For Stonehill students, the most common driver of external tutoring is the Bangalore IB context: students at Stonehill, Canadian International, Indus, TISB, and Inventure form a tightly competitive set, and families want their student's IB Biology HL score to differentiate. Our 1:1 sessions focus on Paper 2 mark-scheme calibration (the single biggest source of dropped points among strong-classroom students) plus IA mentorship through the DP1 topic-selection cycle. IST timezone aligns directly with our India-based live tutoring schedule.
Bangalore IB families also tend to be highly information-driven — many parents are tech-industry professionals who research tutoring options exhaustively before committing. We have responded to that profile with full transparency on pricing (USD-denominated, no hidden costs), session structure (recorded for review, written feedback inside 24 hours), and outcomes (we publish typical score improvements rather than individual case studies). For Stonehill students considering the dual IB+NEET track, we also publish a full week-by-week schedule of how the integrated programme works across DP1, DP2, and the final NEET season so families can audit the time commitment before signing up.
Stonehill's weekly-boarding option means a meaningful share of students spend Monday through Friday on campus and return home for the weekend. This bifurcates the tutoring schedule cleanly: 1:1 evening sessions during the week from the boarding house (with the school's awareness), and longer 2–3 hour weekend morning blocks at home where the student has uninterrupted desk space for IA work or extended past-paper practice. Day students typically take 60–90 minute weekday evening sessions, which means our scheduling can accommodate both modes within the same examiner's weekly calendar.
Sourced from publicly available rankings, the school's own annual diploma results communications, and the IB Organization's programme authorisations.
Stonehill graduates matriculate to UK (Russell Group, Oxbridge, Imperial, UCL), US (Ivy+, NYU, top liberal arts, public flagships), Canada (McGill, Toronto, Waterloo, UBC), Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, ANU), and Indian universities (Ashoka, Krea, Shiv Nadar, plus AIIMS / state medical colleges for IB+NEET students). For Biology HL students, common pathways include UK medicine, US pre-med, and Canadian life-sciences direct entry; the IB+NEET track is available for students staying in India.
Stonehill's IB Biology follows the standard two-year DP cycle. IST timezone aligns directly with our India-based tutoring schedule. Our 1:1 sessions schedule in IST evenings (7–9 PM) or weekend mornings. For day students, evening sessions are most common; for weekly-boarders, weekend morning blocks work well. IA mentorship aligns to Stonehill's DP1-late submission cycle. Mock-exam coaching aligns to the school's November DP2 mocks.
