There are a number of good private and international schools in Mumbai, so what school you decide to send you child to would depend on a number of circumstances, including how long you intend to live in India, whether you want your child to continue with the curriculum of their home country and how exposed you want them to be to the local population and culture or whether you want them mixing rather with a more international student body.
It's best to plan early as the demand for a place at one of these schools is high. Among the most popular international schools in Mumbai are the American School of Bombay, which follows the American curriculum and the IB World curriculum and the Bombay International School, which follows the ICSE, IGCSE and IB curricula.

Good luck with your move!!
