Education beyond excellence
At Prudence International School, they don’t promise to get children ready for “a job”. It would be presumptuous to claim that they know exactly what sort of jobs will be there in 20 years. Hence, their prime duty and most urgent task is to equip their children with the skills that will enable them to survive and flourish in any job market whichever shape or form it may take in the future.

They aim to make the children into lifelong learners who will continue to study throughout their whole life. The children will enjoy fantastic opportunities where job offers will be coming to them from every part of the world. Does the school equip children with the necessary skills in this globally dynamic workspace? At Prudence International, the answers to these questions shape their every decision about teaching and learning at their school.


Naturally, STEM-related subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) play a key role in their curriculum.

They do not compromise on the quality of other subjects either. They know that some of their learners will end up in product design, in the commercial and industrial sectors, or work as architects and engineers. Creativity is key to success in these areas. Therefore, they nurture children’s imagination and creativity.

Prudence International is an eco-friendly school where children are aware of their responsibility towards the environment. This also serves to prepare them for careers in the expanding Green Economy. Social and emotional intelligence is another area that is at the core of the “life curriculum” at Prudence International.

Most importantly, they believe that there is something that makes them different from other international boarding schools in Mumbai and beyond. At Prudence International they support each child on their very personal educational journey. They help them to discover their passion and be driven by it rather than feed them with their own.

The institution boasts of an up-todate AV department where students get hands on experience on all aspects of film making. ‘Ek Asha Ki Kiran’, a film curated and executed by the students won the Silver Beaver Award at the 8th National Science Film Festival, India 2018.

Blitzing, USGS & PPSIJC’s mega annual event, orchestrated in house, is an epitome of creativity and innovation. Organising the GC MUN, now two years in succession, with the best executive board, the institution enriches educational opportunities for students, inculcating diplomacy within them, honing their communication skills and helping them develop art of negotiation.

The school’s sustainable development project - Adoption of Village sensitizes students, makes them socially aware of harsh realities of life and helps them come up with relevant solutions.
