ASB's Secondary Curriculum provides a college-preparatory program leading to an American High School Diploma and/or International Baccalaureate Diploma. The High School serves Grades 9–12, with Grade 9–10 focusing on foundational studies and Grade 11–12 concentrating on advanced coursework. Students study English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Foreign Language, Physical Education/Health, The Arts, Community and Social Responsibility projects, and the Yatra Program. Students may graduate with three options: the American School of Bombay Diploma, the International Baccalaureate Diploma, or the American School of Bombay Diploma with IB Certificates in specific courses. The IB Diploma is a two-year program comprising core elements (Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay, CAS) and six subject groups (Language/Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, The Arts), designed to develop intercultural understanding and critical thinking. The program emphasizes international-mindedness and readiness for university study.

The IB Diploma is widely recognized by leading universities, supporting progression to higher education internationally.

Social, Emotional & Ethical Learning is central to ASB's teaching. Faculty receive ongoing professional development to integrate SEE Learning into classrooms. SEE Learning connects teachers and students through a shared framework and helps students understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, show empathy, build relationships, and make responsible decisions. It is organized around three dimensions: Awareness, Compassion, and Engagement, and three domains: Personal (Self), Social (Others), and Systems (Interdependence of Systems). SEE Learning is an education program developed by Emory University and is used to foster emotional, social, and ethical intelligence.

ASB's Learning Support includes Educational Testing, Speech & Language Therapy, a School Psychologist, Learning Coaches, and a High Ability Program. English as Additional Language Specialists support multilingual learners (G1–G12). The program uses Multitiered Systems of Support to provide small-group or individualized services and collaborates with parents, classroom teachers, and administrators. Educational testing can be conducted on-site or via vetted external facilities; families may request tests in partnership with the school. The program also collaborates with outside services as needed to support learning. Inclusion is an ongoing commitment to meeting diverse learning needs.

ASB provides EAL support to multilingual learners from Pre-K to Grade 12. In Pre-K and Kindergarten language support is immersive within the classroom. Formal EAL assessments and placement begin in Grade 1, with three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Monitor Status. EAL teachers collaborate with mainstream teachers to co-plan, co-teach, and co-assess, with progress monitored and learners supported toward exiting the program when appropriate. EAL support is integrated with content areas to ensure access to curriculum.

Health & well-being is prioritized at ASB, with structures to support mental wellbeing. The School Psychologist works with counselors, teachers, parents, and students to provide support for learning differences and behavioral needs, and to offer short-term counseling. The Health Clinic provides care for acute and chronic illnesses, first aid, health education, and health screening; on-site pediatricians are available weekly. Elementary, middle, and high school counselors provide individual, group, or family counseling, classroom guidance, and support with college planning and course selection. Regular assemblies and SEE Learning emphasize wellbeing.

ASB maintains a Student Safeguarding Policy that is reviewed and published annually in handbooks and communicated to students and families. The school endorses the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and relies on preventative practices to reduce risk and respond to harmful situations. Training for all staff is provided annually.

1. Inquiry and eligibility. Review Age Requirements by Grade Level and Indian Nationals before applying. Complete the Online Inquiry Form; the Office of Admission will reach out with next steps if your child is eligible to apply. Indian national eligibility requires that the student comes from an American/international education system and will return to that system; siblings of eligible applicants may also apply. Final acceptance is subject to evaluation by the ASB Admission Committee.

2. Applications and rolling admissions. ASB reviews completed applications throughout the school year, accepting students on a rolling admissions basis with no deadlines for international admissions. Application links for the new school year are available in January, and initial offers are shared in March. Once approved, ASB works with families to enable the earliest feasible start, with new students joining throughout the year.

3. Documentation and assessments. Admission is subject to meeting ASB's academic and behavioral standards. Submitting a complete application does not guarantee acceptance. Complete academic records and all required paperwork must be received by the Office of Admission. If necessary, the ASB Admission Committee may request additional information, assessments, and an applicant and parent interview.

4. Transition and start of enrollment. Upon acceptance, the school coordinates a start date that fits the family, with students beginning throughout the year as needed. The transition is supported by collaboration among Principals, Teachers, and Administrators to be smooth and positive.
