Bridging Legacy and Innovation: Ryan & RGS Guildford Carve a New Path for Premium International Education in India

Ryan Group & RGS Guildford Launch RGSG Bengaluru in 2028

The Ryan Group of Institutions has collaborated with the Royal Grammar School in Guildford (RGS Guildford), a 500-year-old British school. Ryan International is renowned for its academic standards and global perspective in international schooling in India. The partnership is not just a curriculum exchange, but prepares students for the future. The first of this partnership - the Royal Grammar School Guildford Bengaluru (RGSG Bengaluru) - will welcome students in September 2028.

The Journey So Far….

Ryan Group was incorporated and conceptualised in Mumbai in 1976. It has been close to half a century of strategic planning and foresight to make the institution one of the premier brands in Indian education. Over the years, the institution has diversified into a chain of over 150 schools across 20 states and 40 cities, educating close to over 250,000 students with a strong team of 16,000 employees.


Ryan International’s founding values were simple - quality education, innovation and global citizenship coupled with a strong commitment. The reliability and forward-thinking reputation gained over the years make the Ryan Group a perfect match for RGS Guildford, which its impeccable history.

RGS Guildford, founded in 1509, is one of the most reputed institutions in the United Kingdom. The institution has consistently posted top-level results in A Levels and GCSE. Its Alumni have joined prestigious universities in the United Kingdom like Oxford, Cambridge, and other well-renowned institutions of higher learning around the world.

RGSG Bengaluru - History meets Innovation

The establishment of RGSG Bengaluru is the convergence of the two different but complementary traditions. On one hand, it is the academic excellence and global reputation of RGS Guildford, and on the other, the extensive knowledge of the multicultural Indian education system. The partnership will showcase Ryan International’s capability to expand quality education across India. The school is being developed on 14 acres in Bengaluru.

The state-of-the-art campus coupled with a rich curriculum will be the foundation to building Champions for India. Students will also get access to STEM programs, arts, theatre, music, sports, and a broad spectrum of extracurricular activities. The education is designed to put less emphasis on exams and more on overall personal development and creativity.

 Establishing a Global Network

The partnership will empahsise on authentic global exposure. This sets RSGS Bengaluru apart from the many international schooling ventures in India. Students in Bengaluru will get a chance to become part of a truly global network. RGS Guildford’s international presence spans countries like China, the UAE, Qatar, and Oman. Further USPs include exchange opportunities, cross-campus collaborations, and co-learning platforms offering students a chance to interact with peers across continents. This will help the students develop perspectives that are both global in vision and local in relevance, positioning RGSG Bengaluru is positioned as a hub of cross-cultural engagement.

Quality Education

There has been constant demand for high quality international education in India across major cosmopolitan cities. Today, parents are looking for institutions that do not just focus on foreign curricula but prefer the schools that provide global competencies with a blend of local culture. This partnership indicates that change.

With the merging of British academia and Indian culture, the partners are conceptualising a model that can be developed to determine the way an international curriculum is adapted to the Indian context. It is a re-negotiation of premium schooling focusing on not just exclusivity but rather relevance, flexibility and future preparation.

Prepping Future-Ready Students

With both two institutions preparing to receive the first batch of students in 2028, the collaboration highlights a bigger trend - a cooperation between legacy global institutions and reputable Indian players.

This partnership will see Bengaluru be the first of a four-school partnership between the two institutions. A distinctive advantage of this partnership is the extensive collaborative opportunities for RGSG Bengaluru students to engage with the UK campus and other RGS Guildford schools worldwide. This unique global network will provide students with an unparalleled international perspective, empowering them to shape their futures and thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
