Clifton College has announced their first international partnership with one of India’s leading IB curriculum schools. Pathways School Gurgaon will be rebranded as PSG Clifton International School under Lighthouse Learning partnership. Lighthouse Learning assumes management of the PSG Clifton International school with a promising vision for growth & enhancement.
As a strong start to Clifton College’s partnership journey with Lighthouse Learning, Lighthouse Learning has brought together Clifton College, the 164-year-old British institution, with Pathways School Gurgaon, which will become PSG Clifton International School.
Pathways School Gurgaon, one of India’s prominent IB schools, is entering a new chapter through its partnership with Lighthouse Learning Group. The partnership will build on the school’s strong foundation, with a focus on strengthening its academic and institutional ecosystem and creating a globally connected and future-ready institution.
The next phase will focus on strengthening the school’s academic and institutional ecosystem while creating curated global tie-ups and collaborations that bring international perspectives, expertise and opportunities to PSG Clifton’s student body. These initiatives will provide students with meaningful exposure to global educational practices, educators and learning environments, while continuing to build on the school’s established academic foundation and strong IB ethos.
Through these initiatives, PSG Clifton International School aims to help set the gold standard for K–12 education in India, combining global best practices with a deep understanding of the Indian education landscape.
The evolution from Pathways School Gurgaon to PSG Clifton is the first of many initiatives planned by Lighthouse Learning to establish a distinctive institution that is equipped to meet the evolving needs of students and families.
Dr Christopher Stevens, Executive Head Clifton College Education Group said, “This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with a leading education group and an outstanding, relatively young school to enhance existing strengths and look towards an exciting future together. The dynamism and ambition of Lighthouse Learning combined with Clifton’s blend of tradition and innovation will further enhance the very strong credentials of Pathways School Gurgaon as it becomes PSG Clifton International School. Clifton College Education Group will benefit from the international outlook this partnership brings and can learn a great deal from exposure to a different educational ecosystem. Our spirit and values are well aligned and we share a common commitment to helping young people flourish through the power of a child-centred education.”
Mr. Prajodh Rajain, Founder and Group CEO, Lighthouse Learning Group said, “Pathways School Gurgaon has built an exceptional legacy over the years, grounded in a clear belief in putting children at the centre of education. As we welcome PSG into the Lighthouse Learning family, we see ourselves as custodians of this legacy, with a deep sense of responsibility to the community that has built it. At the same time, we believe this is an opportunity to grow further, with greater ambition. The coming together of PSG, Lighthouse Learning and Clifton College harnesses their complementary strengths — PSG’s strong foundation and educational philosophy, Lighthouse’s experience and capabilities, and Clifton’s rich global heritage. We are proud to be part of this journey and look forward to building on what has already been achieved to take the school to even greater heights. Through this evolution, the school will continue to strengthen its academic and institutional foundation while creating new avenues for students to learn, collaborate and engage with a rapidly changing world.”
Captain Rohit Sen Bajaj, PSG Clifton International School Director said, “Today marks an important moment for us as we begin our next chapter as PSG Clifton International School. We do so with immense pride in everything that has brought us here over the past sixteen years. The coming together of PSG, Lighthouse Learning and Clifton College is a tremendously exciting partnership. Lighthouse brings deep experience, strong professional capabilities and an international outlook, while Clifton College brings 164 years of heritage, academic distinction and a remarkable global tradition in education. We are proud that Clifton College’s first international presence beyond the UK begins with us, and we look forward to building further from this new milestone for the school, together while remaining true to the spirit and foundation of PSG.”
Through this evolution, the partnership will continue to strengthen its academic and institutional foundation while creating new avenues for students to learn, collaborate and engage with a rapidly changing world.
