For Indian students and families, the partnership could provide greater access to international educational practices and opportunities for collaboration with a 164-year-old British institution.

Prajodh Rajan, Founder and Group CEO, Lighthouse Learning Group, said: “Our mission is to ignite the love for learning in one million children. We believe children in India should have access to the best educational thinking and practices from around the world. Clifton College brings 164 years of educational heritage, a strong international outlook and a deep commitment to developing young people. This partnership is not simply about bringing Clifton to India; it is about bringing together the best of the Indian and British educational ecosystems to create exceptional learning experiences for our children.”

Dr Christopher Stevens, Executive Head, Clifton College Education Group, said: “Establishing Clifton's first international presence beyond the UK in India reflects our ambition and our belief in the country’s growing significance as a destination for global education. India’s young population and increasing engagement with international education create strong opportunities for collaboration and learning. Through this partnership with Lighthouse Learning, we look forward to bringing Clifton College’s legacy and educational approach to a new context while learning from India’s diverse education ecosystem. Our children and our schools must always look outwards and look forwards to embrace the opportunities the future holds. This partnership offers a wonderful opportunity to do just that.”
