The proposed acquisition marks another significant step in Lighthouse Learning’s expansion strategy as it continues to strengthen its presence in the premium school education market.
Lighthouse Learning, formerly known as EuroKids International, has been expanding its footprint across India’s education sector through strategic acquisitions and partnerships. The addition of Pathways School Gurgaon is expected to further enhance the group’s portfolio of premium K-12 institutions.
The acquisition aligns with the company’s long-term strategy of offering high-quality school education to meet the growing demand for globally recognised curricula in India.
Pathways School Gurgaon has established itself as one of the country’s leading International Baccalaureate (IB) schools, with a strong reputation for academic excellence, student-centred learning and international education standards.
The school attracts students seeking globally recognised educational programmes that emphasise critical thinking, holistic development and experiential learning.
The proposed transaction highlights increasing investor confidence in India’s school education sector, particularly in premium K-12 institutions offering international curricula.
With rising demand for quality education and global learning opportunities, investors continue to view the education sector as a high-growth segment. The acquisition is expected to strengthen Lighthouse Learning’s position in this rapidly expanding market while reinforcing the growing attractiveness of premium educational institutions in India.
