Billabong High International School,
powered by Lighthouse Learning Group, one of India’s most progressive K–12
school networks, has announced the
opening of applications for admission to the 2027–28 academic year across its
campuses. The school offers a future-ready education through CBSE, ICSE and CIE
(Cambridge curriculum), with admissions available from the early years through
senior grades across its campuses in Mumbai, Pune, Gurugram and Vadodara.
Across campuses, Billabong High International School offers a variety
of boards to choose from. For learners seeking an international Cambridge
curriculum, Billabong High International School’s Cambridge-affiliated campuses
offer the advantage of a superior curriculum supported by the unique Innoverse
Learning Framework. This framework enriches learner profiles through unique
learning programmes including Socratic Dialogue, Case Study-Based Learning,
Inquiry-Based Learning, Technology Proficiency and much more, ensuring that
learning is real-world based, relevant to today’s needs and hands-on. The
campuses at Mumbai (Malad, Juhu & Mulund), Pune (Amanora) and Gurugram
(Sector 57) are complete Cambridge pathway campuses, offering the Cambridge
curriculum from Grade 1. This ensures continuity of learning and
nurtures a through-and-through Cambridge mindset.
Campuses across the network also offer the CBSE curriculum,
backed by the unique UPTRII curriculum - a transformative curriculum
designed to Unlock Potential Through Reflection, Inquiry, and Innovation.
UPTRII is built on the belief that when learners reflect deeply, question
fearlessly and innovate boldly, they develop the skills needed to navigate a
dynamic and ever-evolving world. The Vadodara campus of Billabong High
International School is the lone ICSE campus in the portfolio and follows a
neuroscience-based approach, promoting an interdisciplinary, theme-based
curriculum designed to develop higher-order thinking skills and conceptual
understanding.
Across all campuses, while ensuring a strong academic foundation,
Billabong High International School also integrates a range of new-age
programmes into its learning ecosystem to enrich the curriculum and build
skills essential for the future. These include AI Literacy, the cutting-edge
Maker Programme, Z.E.A.L. — a curated sports and performing arts programme -
and ORION, a dedicated Career Guidance and University Readiness
Programme. The school also offers Hygge, its social-emotional learning
programme, designed to nurture emotional well-being, empathy, resilience and
meaningful connections. Together, these programmes help learners develop
problem-solving abilities, creativity, adaptability, collaboration and responsible
decision-making as an integral part of their educational journey. This holistic
learning experience is designed to nurture curious, confident and capable
learners, equipped to think independently and engage meaningfully with the
world around them.
The preschool section of the school, Kangaroo Kids, introduces
children to a thoughtful and engaging learning environment through its
play-based iCAN Learning System. The learning experience is complemented
by programmes and activities that encourage children to explore and express
themselves through Genius Hour, Service Learning, Maker Programme, Coding
and Project-Based Learning. These experiences are designed to nurture the 9
Future Skills and 15 Habits of Mind, building early foundations in
curiosity, creativity, communication, problem-solving, adaptability and life
skills, while fostering a positive and lasting connection with learning.
Sadashiv Nayak, CEO, K-12 Schools, Lighthouse Learning Group, said, “We recognise that every learner has the
potential to approach the world in their own way. Our focus is not only on what
they know, but on how they think, create, collaborate and respond to the world
around them. As admissions open for 2027–28, we look forward to welcoming
families into a learning ecosystem that combines academic rigour with
curiosity, creativity and future-ready skills”
With admissions now open for the 2027–28 academic year, families can
explore opportunities across Billabong High International School campuses
offering CBSE, ICSE and CIE (Cambridge curriculum), as well as preschool
programmes through Kangaroo Kids. The admissions process will enable families
to understand the respective campus learning philosophy, curriculum and
programmes and identify the pathway best suited to their child’s learning
journey.
