Learning Pathway
Admissions are open for Kindergarten to Grade 5 with the Finnish curriculum implemented in cooperation with Finland International Education, giving children a balanced primary school foundation. The higher-grade pathway will build on this foundation through IB MYP and IB CP.
Accessible Hyderabad Campus
Located in Velmala, HEWS is an international school near Kollur, Tellapur, Kokapet, Nallagandla, Mokila, and Gachibowli, with convenient access for families across Hyderabad’s western corridor. The 8-acre campus gives children a healthy, open environment for learning and play.
Designed for Individual Growth
With a 1:20 student-teacher ratio, Scandinavian-style learning spaces, an expansive sports field, and Hyderabad’s largest school playground, HEWS gives children space to learn, move, play, and grow.
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, memorising for tests, or carrying heavy homework pressure, children get time to understand, ask questions, explore ideas, move, play, 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.
Happier Children, Happier Families
This approach helps children feel happier at school – and makes family life healthier too. 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.
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.
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.
