Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal’s twins, Krishna and Aadiya, recently started their school journey in Mumbai, drawing attention to the kind of education—and the costs—chosen by India’s most prominent families. While many expected the Ambani children to attend Dhirubhai Ambani International School (DAIS), Aadiya is currently enrolled at West Wind Nursery and Kindergarten, a well-known pre-school in Mumbai.

Key Highlights:

School Choice: Aadiya, now two years old, attends West Wind Nursery and Kindergarten in Mumbai, a respected institution founded in 1947. The school is known for its nurturing environment and focus on early childhood development.
Fee Structure: According to recent reports, the annual tuition fee at West Wind School is approximately ₹42,000. There are additional annual charges of ₹5,000, along with a one-time admission fee of ₹12,000 and a refundable caution deposit of ₹5,000. The total estimated yearly expense, including all fees and extras, ranges from ₹2.5 lakh to ₹4 lakh per child.
Discounts & Payment Options: The school offers a 10% sibling discount and a 5% concession for parents who pay the full year’s fees in advance.
Facilities: West Wind School offers a blend of academics and extracurricular activities, with a focus on community, creativity, and social responsibility. The school hosts events like the West Wind Fun Fair, which raises funds for underprivileged children’s education.
Future Schooling: As the twins grow older, they may transition to Dhirubhai Ambani International School, where annual fees for kindergarten begin at ₹1.7 lakh and rise to ₹2 lakh for higher grades.

Aadiya’s school fees reflect the Ambani family’s preference for quality education, but also show that even India’s wealthiest sometimes opt for nurturing, community-focused schools in the earliest years.
