From 894 schools in 2023–24, the count rose by 16% to 1,034 in 2024–25, with India accounting for 81% of new additions. The landmark 1,000th school is Bramhapriya World School, Pune.

We are proud to be shaping the future of education in the region.”Cambridge continues to expand with a mission to foster global readiness, life skills, and holistic growth.
