The Top 8 English Medium Schools in Bhubaneswar

The panorama of schools in Bhubaneswar is huge. Enumerated with many vernacular medium schools since its establishment, the state capital started with 3 English Medium Schools- DM Public School, St. Joseph’s Convent, and Central School in the early 1950s and has emerged as the educational hub of Eastern India.

60 years later the mini metropolitan capital is studded with high profile schools, educational institutions, and engineering colleges at just about every other corner of the city. One of the main reasons for the flooding population in the capital city is the desire of parents to educate their children in the best and most popular schools.

But when you have more options than you ever wanted, it’s difficult to make a decision, isn’t it? Especially, when each parent aspires to make their child an IIT alumni or a Neurosurgeon, even before they can pronounce “A”, selecting a good school is critical to their child’s career. But, worry not. If you are new to this competitive town, this is exactly the piece of reading that would help you.

Looking at the trends with parents for a decade now and some surveys, we have effectively shortlisted the top 8 English medium schools of Bhubaneswar. Take a look.
