As the most populous country in the world, India also has one of the largest education systems, consisting of government and private institutions. International schools are gaining in popularity here as well, not just because of the large percentage of expats in India but also because Indian parents, too, want a future-forward curriculum and multidisciplinary learning for their children.

Here are some other reasons, in his opinion, that add to the appeal of international schools for discerning parents and students looking for holistic education, experiential learning, multilingualism, academic rigor, and global exposure.

Future forward education

International curricula do not endorse rote learning but offer individually focused teaching support in a well-resourced environment. The class size makes space for personalized attention to ensure that each pupil's strengths are nurtured and weaknesses are addressed effectively. Multiculturalism in international schools also prepares students to evolve as global citizens, respectful of cultural particularities. The future-forward learning environment also inculcates vital life skills needed in the fast-evolving world along with resilience, respect for community and resourcefulness.
