Barring a new CBSE school coming up in Andheri East, the rest of them are redeveloped structures in the plots of former municipal schools
Several new buildings are equipped with modern facilities such as libraries, virtual classrooms, computer and science labs, art and craft rooms, multipurpose halls and disability friendly washrooms
AMID growing focus on BMC-run schools and their infrastructure, the civic body plans to open nine standalone school buildings for students in the 2026–27 academic year. These new facilities are spread across Ghatkopar, Govandi, Andheri, Juhu and Malad.
Except for a newly built CBSE school in Andheri East, all the buildings are redeveloped structures constructed on the sites of former municipal schools. Civic officials said the reconstruction of these schools took between three and five years, with the Juhu school taking the longest, as it falls within the Coastal Regulation Zone.
The new buildings will also temporarily accommodate students from neighbouring municipal schools that are currently undergoing redevelopment. Kondivita Mumbai Public School in Andheri East will function as a standalone CBSE institution, as affiliation norms allow only one school per building. Other redeveloped schools will operate under the Maharashtra State Board.
Several of the new buildings are equipped with modern facilities such as libraries, virtual classrooms, computer and science laboratories, art and craft rooms, multipurpose halls and disability friendly washrooms. “All these areas are witnessing a steady rise in student population. These new buildings will help us absorb more students into the BMC school system,” a civic official told mid-day.
