Heritage Xperiential Learning School (HXLS) Gurgaon (Formerly, The Heritage School, Gurgaon) is focused on deeper, authentic and inter-disciplinary learning. Founded in 2003 as a not-for-profit private co-educational school, HXLS today is a community of over 3100 students and an enviable student to staff ratio of 9:1. Although HXLS is just 14 years young, it has consistently been ranked among the top 5 day schools in India. Known for its progressive pedagogy and community bound curriculum, HXLS is also one of the few inclusive schools in India with a well- integrated special needs program. Although we offer 3 curricula (National Board, IGCSE and IBDP), we attempt to be curriculum agnostic through our own organically developed curriculum that stretches the boundaries of prescribed national and international curricula. Housed in a beautiful 13- acre campus, HXLS today is one of the most reputed learning communities for educators

The last fourteen years have been a learning journey for the school. We are deeply inspired and committed to the philosophies of Kurt Han, Rudolf Steiner, Sri Aurobindo, Mahatma Gandhi and J Krishnamurthy. Our curriculum has been designed and curated organically over the years and reflects some of these core learning principles - for our Students, Parents and Teachers.
Many of our academic protocols and processes have been inspired by cutting edge research in the field of education.
