The King’s School Canterbury, Bengaluru is part of this wider King’s family, bringing the same educational philosophy, sense of community, and commitment to excellence to India for the first time.
Founded in 597 AD, The King's School Canterbury is the oldest school in the English-speaking world. Located adjacent to Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and with a junior school 2 miles outside of the city, it educates around 1300 pupils aged 3 to 18 across a wide range of disciplines. Its alumni include some of the most celebrated figures in science, literature, medicine, and public life.
The first overseas school opened in Shenzhen in China. The Pre-Prep opened in 2019 and the Prep and Senior school have been fully operational since September 2022. The School benefits from superb modern facilities for day and boarding pupils, offering bilingual education in this exciting and dynamic city.
In August 2023, the second overseas school opened in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Phase 1 of the school offers a British international education to pupils aged 3-13 years, located in a city centre. Phase 2 of the opening in 2026 will see a move to the Vattanacville site, offering a K-12 provision from 3 to 18 years. The capacity of The King’s School Canterbury, Vattanacville will be 1400 pupils, including a boarding provision.
Extending the King's family further, The King's School Canterbury, Cairo is planned to open in 2028 — bringing the same standard and ethos to one of the world's most historic cities.
Located in Yelahanka, North Bengaluru, we will be opening for the 2027/28 Academic Year, welcoming children aged 3 to 7 across Nursery, EY1, EY2, and Grade 1. We follow the EYFS curriculum — the same framework as King's Canterbury.
We are, in every meaningful sense, a genuine extension of the King's family — not a franchise, not a licensing arrangement, but the authentic King's ethos brought to life in India.
