The latest edition of Guinness World Records awards the title to the City Montessori School in the Indian city of Lucknow, with 39,437 registered pupils in the 2010-2011 academic year.
The school says enrolment numbers have already risen above 45,000, with 2,500 teachers, 3,700 computers, 1,000 classrooms - and one of the hardest first XI cricket teams to break into.
CMS, which receives no government funding, charges 1,000 rupees ($18) a month in fees for younger pupils, rising to 2,500 ($46) a month for seniors.
CMS, as it is known, was opened by Jagdish Gandhi and his wife Bharti in 1959 with a loan of 300 rupees ($5.50 at current rates) and just five pupils.
