International CBSE Schools

International CBSE Schools give families curriculum continuity and recognised credentials when they move across borders. The win comes from pairing strong academics with clean compliance, clear disclosures, and host-country licensing. That means following CBSE’s affiliation rules, proving safety and staffing, and sequencing Embassy NOC (NO Objection Certificate) and SARAS (School Affiliation Re-engineered Automation System) steps without guesswork.

What you achieve

Continuity for Learners, Authentic Assessment, and Smooth University Pathways.
A Compliant Launch that earns trust with Parents and Regulators.
Governance and Disclosures that withstand Scrutiny during Affiliation and After.

Quick Planner for Leaders

Decision Area	What to Decide Now	Proof You Will Show
Licence and Embassy NOC	Confirm the Host-Country Licence or Permit. Apply for Embassy or Consulate NOC	Licence Letter and Embassy NOC on Record
SARAS Category	Choose fresh Affiliation, Upgradation, Switch-Over, or Extension	SARAS 6.0 Application with the correct Category and Level
Staffing	Hire Teachers who meet Host-Country Norms and CBSE Expectations	Staff List with Qualifications and Contracts
Safety and Infrastructure	Align Building, Fire, Sanitation, and ICT Readiness with Bylaws	Certificates and Inventories are ready for scrutiny
Website disclosures	Publish all Mandatory Information on a Functional Site	Live ‘Mandatory Public Disclosure’ page

Tip: If you plan to start a CBSE School Overseas or manage a CBSE Switch-Over for Foreign Schools, lock your category first, then align staffing and safety evidence to that category. This avoids resubmissions in SARAS.

Steps that prevent rework

Licence and NOC: Secure the school licence from your host country, then obtain the Embassy or Consulate NOC that affirms due diligence. These are gating items for International CBSE Schools.
Pick the right SARAS path: Use SARAS 6.0 timelines for fresh affiliation, upgradation, switch-over, or extension. Prepare to answer queries within stated windows.
Staffing and contracts: Ensure teacher qualifications meet host-country norms and CBSE expectations. Keep Contracts and Proofs ready for inspection.
Safety, ICT, and Labs: Complete building, fire, sanitation, and ICT readiness as per CBSE bye-laws and local law. Document everything.
Disclosures Live before Submission: Publish the mandatory public disclosure section on your website so reviewers can verify details quickly.
Submit, Track, and Respond: Upload documents, watch for scrutiny notes, and respond within the online timelines to avoid delays.
