Why Parents Choose HEWS

For parents comparing leading schools in Hyderabad, HEWS offers a different path: the Finnish curriculum in the primary grades, followed by a future IB pathway.

Solid Foundations, Less Pressure

At HEWS, the Finnish curriculum gives children a more balanced way to build strong foundations without taking away the joy of childhood. Instead of rushing through lessons or carrying heavy homework pressure, children get time to understand, ask questions, explore ideas and think deeply.

The goal is not to lower expectations, but to reach strong learning outcomes in a healthier way. Children work toward the same essential academic foundations expected at other good schools, but with less pressure and more attention to understanding, confidence, independence, and well-being.

Admission Open For 2026-27

Happier Children, Happier Families

This approach helps children feel happier at school – and creates a healthier balance for family life.With less academic stress after school, children have more time for rest, reading, hobbies, outdoor play, and meaningful family time.

Parents can focus less on daily pressure and more on watching their child enjoy a happy childhood while growing into a curious, capable, and confident learner — equipping students with the thinking skills universities and employers look for.

Growing Beyond the Classroom

What Learning Looks Like at HEWS

At HEWS, children learn by doing. A typical learning experience may include asking questions, building models, observing nature, working in groups, presenting ideas, solving real-world problems, or reflecting on what they discovered.

Through STEAM projects, inquiry-based learning, outdoor exploration, field experiences, design challenges, and classroom discussions, children build deeper understanding instead of only memorising facts. Learning becomes active, visible, and connected to life.

Growing Beyond the Classroom

A Future IB Pathway

As students move into the higher grades, the IB pathway, based on the globally respected International Baccalaureate framework, gives families a strong route for academic growth. Parents choose IB because it encourages students to think independently, communicate clearly, connect learning across subjects, and apply knowledge to real-world issues.

Built on the confidence and curiosity developed through the Finnish curriculum, IB MYP and IB CP help students grow into reflective, capable learners prepared for higher education and a changing world.

A Message From Our Leadership

A Warm Welcome To The HEWS Family

Two voices, one shared belief: every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and inspired to grow.

Riikka Bukari

Primary Principal

A warm welcome to our school community – part of the world’s finest education system.

At HEWS, we believe in positive pedagogy, the joy of learning, and the importance of seeing every child as a unique individual. Each school day, we look forward to welcoming our students with warmth, respect, and genuine care.

As Primary Principal, I am committed to building strong and lasting partnerships with parents and guardians, following the Finnish model where trust, collaboration, and open communication between home and school are central. Together, we can support each child’s holistic development, help them discover their strengths, experience the joy of learning, and grow in confidence for the future.

I have come from Finland to Hyderabad with a deep commitment to working together with you to make every child’s Finnish curriculum school journey meaningful, inspiring, and filled with positive memories.

Manju Ramachandran

Founding Head of School

Over the past twenty-four years in education, working across international curricula and now embracing the Finnish approach, one truth has remained constant: children learn best when they feel safe, valued, and genuinely happy.

That belief is the foundation of Horizon Experiential World School.

As the Founding Head of School, my vision is to create more than a school. I hope to build a community where every child feels a sense of belonging, every family feels valued, and every learner is inspired to discover the joy of learning and the strength that comes from growing with confidence.

I warmly invite you to become a part of the Horizon family. Together, let us create a childhood filled with wonder, meaningful learning, and memories that last a lifetime.
