Billabong High International School Opens 2027–28 Applications Across Campuses & CBSE, ICSE and Cambridge Curricula
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.
