(MENAFN- Adfactors PR) Pune, November 17, 2025: Heritage Xperiential Schools, one of India’s most respected names in experiential education and ranked among the top schools in India offering CBSE and International curricula, has announced the launch of Heritage International Xperiential School (HIXS), Pune — its first campus in the city. Located in Kalyani Nagar, the school marks the next chapter in Heritage’s 22-year journey of redefining education through experiential learning.
HIXS Pune, the latest addition to the prestigious Heritage Xperiential School’s network, aims to bring a globally recognised learning experience to students rooted in Indian values. Staying true to Heritage’s ethos, the Pune campus is designed to provide student-centric, authentic learning that humanises and empowers the next generation to take responsibility for a world where individuals and communities can thrive while being rooted in purpose.
The launch was marked by the Early Years Summit 2025, hosted at the newly inaugurated campus, which brought together leading educators, policymakers, school leaders, and early years experts from India and abroad. The two-day summit featured keynote addresses by internationally-recognised Early Childhood Education Specialist Jan Dubiel and Reggio-inspired Atelierista Sarah Browne, and engaging discussions on innovative early years pedagogy, child development frameworks, assessment methodologies, and the role of intentional learning environments.
Speaking at the event, Edward Lawless, Head of School, Heritage International Xperiential School, Pune, said: “At Heritage, education has always been about meaning, purpose, and human connection. With the launch of our Pune campus, we’re extending our legacy of over 20-years of authentic, experiential learning to a new community of learners. HIXS Pune will embody the same spirit of curiosity, compassion, and excellence that defines our schools, nurturing children who are confident, creative, and conscious global citizens.”
Drawing on the acclaimed model of Heritage International Xperiential School, Gurugram, the Pune campus integrates academic excellence with holistic development, offering a vibrant learning environment that celebrates individuality and curiosity. In its founding year, HIXS Pune will open admissions from Nursery to Grade 3, with plans to expand to Grade 12 in subsequent years.
Committed to delivering unparalleled educational experiences, the avant-garde facility is meticulously designed to foster holistic development and innovation in education. With thoughtfully designed spaces and a curriculum that blends Makerspace, Design Thinking, Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Light & Sound Ateliers, Wellness Centre, multi-sensory dynamic Classrooms and Sports facilities, the campus offers children the space to learn by doing, think independently, and connect their learning with real-world contexts. The school embodies Heritage’s belief that education should be an empowering, transformative experience — one that nurtures both intellect and empathy.
As the Heritage family of schools expands its footprint across India, HIXS Pune strengthens the group’s vision of creating connected, future-ready learning communities that are as Indian as they are international, blending global best practices with Heritage Dharmic principles of Freedom, Respect, Authenticity, Inclusion, Attentiveness and Excellence.
