    Pune: EuroSchool has announced the commencement of operations at three new campuses – EuroSchool Hennur and EuroSchool Gunjur in Bengaluru, and EuroSchool Manjri in Pune – further strengthening the EuroSchool network’s growing footprint across India’s rapidly expanding urban centres.

    The expansion underscores EuroSchool’s commitment to extending its distinctive educational philosophy to a larger number of families by offering a learning experience that blends academic excellence with opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery.

    The newly launched EuroSchool campuses were inaugurated on June 8, 2026, in Hennur, Bengaluru; June 11, 2026, in Gunjur, Bengaluru; and June 16, 2026, in Manjri, Pune.

    Built on EuroSchool’s philosophy of Balanced Schooling, the new campuses place equal emphasis on academic achievement, student wellbeing, co-curricular excellence, and future readiness.

    Students are encouraged to develop critical thinking abilities, collaborate effectively, and pursue their interests in an environment that nurtures both achievement and individuality.

    The proprietary LRPAX pedagogy—Learn, Reinforce, Practice, Apply, and eXperience—forms the foundation of the learning approach.

    The institution also offers innovative programmes such as ORION, its Career Guidance and University Readiness Program, the Math Mastery Program, AI Literacy initiatives, Newton – an AI-powered study companion – and a contemporary Pre-Primary and Primary Curriculum.

    Together, these initiatives are designed to equip students with future-ready skills while fostering holistic development.

    Beyond being educational institutions, the new EuroSchool campuses aspire to become vibrant centres of community learning by bringing together students, parents, educators, and local stakeholders to create nurturing ecosystems that support lifelong growth and development.
