High School Curriculum

ASB offers a college-preparatory program leading to an American High School Diploma and/or International Baccalaureate Diploma.

Because students from almost fifty nations attend the American School of Bombay, our curriculum and activities have been designed to meet the needs of our international student body.  Our High School Profile, including IB results and colleges our students attend, can be found here

Our Grade 9 and 10 students undergo studies that are designed to prepare them for their last two years of High School. All courses are designed to provide students with not only the foundation of knowledge and understanding in a specific discipline, but also solid communication and analytical skills.

Students in Grade 10 complete a Research Project that is specifically designed to give them the research and writing skills they will need to begin the extended essay process as part of the IB program. 

High School students at the American School of Bombay can opt for one of three possible graduation options: 

1. American School of Bombay Diploma (equivalent to a High School Diploma in the United States). All students who graduate from ASB receive an ASB Diploma
2. International Baccalaureate Diploma
3. American School of Bombay Diploma, as above, and IB Certificates in specific courses
