“The overwhelming response to our flagship school, and the appreciation we have received for Kunskapsskolan’s teaching methodology and KED program, are what have provided us with the impetus to expand our base in India and set up the second school in Gurgaon,” said Mr. Anders Bauer, Executive Vice-President of Kunskapsskolan responsible for India. “We’re confident that Kunskapsskolan International will further showcase the quality and vision that has enabled Kunskapsskolan to transform the educational landscape in multiple countries with its chain of approximately 50 schools around the globe including Sweden, UK, and USA!”

Kunskapsskolan Education has developed and offers an Indian version of its highly acclaimed KED program, adapted to IPC, Indian CBSE and IGCSE exam board. A unique feature of the KED program is that the learning process can be adapted to any curriculum.
The new school, Kunskapsskolan International, is a day boarding school set in a campus spread over 7 acres around Sector 70A of Gurgaon. Kunskapsskolan International follows the CBSE Curriculum up to Grade 6 and from Grade 7 onwards provides the option of choosing between the CBSE and the Cambridge/ IGCSE curriculum.
