GoSchool combines high-quality teaching, personalised counselling, extracurricular activities, test preparation, and counselling for university admissions along with cutting-edge skills to deliver a transformative high school experience.
At the core of GoSchool is the most powerful learning engine propelled by New Age Hyflex Learning, which offers a hi-tech yet hi-touch model of delivering education.

“GoSchool is a leap towards forward-looking systems that deliver quality international education for all as a springboard for building futures. Supported by the vast ecosystem of technology partners, we are proud to deliver solutions that expand access to education, enhance student experience, improve engagement, and ignite innovation.”
Sidney Rose, FRSA, Academic Director, GoSchool, added,
“In our view, everyone is a unique individual. Therefore, we adapt our approach to each student offering them the specific challenges and customised support that brings out their best. We set ourselves very high standards indeed. We will endeavour to inspire our students with new ideas, to support them as they learn to think for themselves and then to challenge them to transform the lives of others.”
GoSchool’s trio of international partnerships gives students access to an international curriculum and arms them with future-focused skills along with internships and counselling for admissions to be best placed in leading universities in India and the world. With Pearson, GoSchool students get access to their globally recognised Pearson Edexcel International A Level qualifications. With iXperience, students will be able to gain highly marketable skills and get real-world experience in the form of live virtual internships with global enterprises. With UniDirect, GoSchool extends the expert and professional support to its students to gain admissions to Ivy League universities and universities in the US, UK, Europe, Canada, and Asia.
Commenting on the partnership, Mickey Revenaugh, Vice President, Business Development – Pearson Virtual Schools, said:
“Our aim is to ensure each student maximises their potential and we recognise that in a rapidly changing world, the education opportunities available for children and young people must adapt to meet the needs of each student and their family. We are proud to be the curriculum partner with GoSchool in providing a new hybrid school; ensuring students have the skills they need for the future. It is an exciting time to be in education.”
