Heritage International Xperiential School, Gurugram

Heritage International Xperiential School (HIXS) is an Indian international school that emphasizes student-centric, authentic, and experiential learning. Its framework is built on four pillars: Experiential Learning, Design Thinking, the Human Framework (focusing on social-emotional intelligence), and Deeper Learning. The school aims to nurture curious, creative, and resilient global citizens who are empowered to solve real-life problems.

The school offers a structured academic pathway: the International Primary Programme (IB PYP with the Heritage Early Years Programme) for Nursery to Grade 4, the Lower Cambridge Programme for Grades 5–8, the IGCSE for Grades 9–10, and the IB Diploma Programme for Grades 11–12. The curriculum integrates core subjects with four 'Mastery Strands': social-emotional learning, design thinking and maker engineering, research-focused reading and writing, and citizenship.

The school reports strong academic performance, with the 2025 IBDP cohort achieving a 100% pass rate and an average score of 37. In the IGCSE, 68% of students achieved an ICE Distinction, with 100% pass rate. The school maintains a college placement cell that facilitates access to prestigious universities in India and abroad.

The school provides advisory groups and mentors for every student to offer guidance, support, and resources throughout the learning and college admission processes. Additional learning support and therapies are available as optional services charged separately. The school also maintains a dedicated Counselling and Student Support Services team.

The school accepts applications for Nursery through Grade 12, with specific age eligibility for Nursery (3 years as of July 1st). Admissions are prioritized based on criteria such as distance, sibling status, alumni connections, and alignment with the school’s experiential philosophy, with a lottery system used for tied applicants. For other grades, admission is subject to seat availability and the submission of required documentation, including birth certificates, residence proof, and previous academic records.

The school operates on an annual academic calendar, with the 2025-26 academic year schedule available for reference. The school year typically includes four fee-payment installments and scheduled breaks, with specific dates for the 2026-27 session provided during the admissions process.

The school operates across two campuses in Gurugram: a Junior Campus in DLF 5 and a Middle and Senior Campus near Sector 58. Both campuses feature centralized air purifiers and treated fresh air systems, with indoor air quality monitored by specialists. The school utilizes its physical environment as the 'Third Teacher,' with spaces specifically designed to dovetail with the curriculum to maximize learning.
