Pathways World School Gurgaon

The flagship Pathways campus, a 32-acre IB day-cum-residential school in the Aravalli foothills outside Gurgaon. About 380 boarders, day, weekly and term boarding all available.

Founded in 2003 as the first IB day-cum-residential school in North India. Full IB Continuum from Early Years to Diploma, with twin-sharing study bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms in the residential blocks. Roughly 45 percent of students board in some form.

Parents are positive about the boarding experience itself, with steady mentions of safety, approachable house staff, and well-kept facilities. Complaints, when they come, are about specific staff members or year-group communication rather than the model. This is the sibling school to Pathways Noida, and the choice between them mainly comes down to whether boarding is on the table.

• The 32-acre Aravali campus is the central draw. Parents call out the LEED Platinum site, lakes and large boarding residences.
• Boarding works well in feedback. Parents describe children as safe and comfortable, with on-call medical staff and resident parents handling pastoral care.
• Day-cum-boarding flexibility (day, week, fortnight, term) is a practical reason families choose it over straight day schools.
• Teachers come up as approachable. One parent said staff genuinely care and make it easy to seek help.
• Aggregate parent rating sits around on the larger directories. Praise concentrates on facilities; weakness is uneven staff support when problems arise.
• Fees are at the top end. Total annual cost for boarding is reported in the 22-30 lakh range, including imprest, security, composite and boarding fees.
