Heritage Xperiential Learning School (HXLS) - 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 3200 students and an enviable student to staff ratio of 9:1. Although HXLS is just 14 years young, it is consistently been ranked among top 5 day-boarding schools in India. Known for its progressive pedagogy and community bound curriculum, it is also one of the few inclusive schools in India with an integrated special needs program. Although the school offers 3 curriculum (National Board, IGCSE and IB), it attempts to be curriculum agnostic through its own organically developed curriculum. Being an experiential learning school, the 3 Rs we emphasize on are: Relationships, Relevance & Rigour. We are deeply inspired and committed to the philosophies of Kurt Han, Vygotsky, Rudolf Steiner, Sri Aurobindo, Mahatma Gandhi and J Krishnamurthy to name a few. Our curriculum has been designed and curated organically over the years and reflect some of these core learning principles. HXLS has a vibrant teaching community representing various cultures from across the country. Heritage has been certified as a Great Place to Work by the Great Places to Work Institute, USA. Teacher empowerment is the backbone of learning at Heritage and we focus on curating world class learning experiences primarily on the following three strands:• Teachers as self-aware individuals • Teachers as facilitators and curriculum designers • Teachers as contributors to individuals Our mentors and trainers include workshop leaders from Expeditionary Learning System (USA), Big Picture Schools (USA), Boston Teacher Residency, Harvard University, Waldorf Network, National Outbound Learning School (USA), Waters Foundation (USA), Hi Tech Hi Schools (USA), Case Western University (USA) and other leading education experts.
