Do whites go there? If they do, it must be good.

Why don't you start by taking a tour of the school, interact with kids et cetera?

Edit: They have pictures of whites on the website. Looks good.

They don't seem to be going to top Universities though. The best they can manage is NYU and Georgia Tech. No Harvard, MIT or Stanford. They are also wearing those garish "graduation" gowns. Yuck.

Here is a forum that has many discussions on the subject of your school. You can ask your questions there: http://www.parentree.in/India/Hyderabad/Schools/3480-the-international-school-of-hyderabad-ish

If I were you, I would home-school my children and save them the bother of interacting with useless people.

Good Luck!
