KKEL owned, Kangaroo Kids & Billabong High International Schools, the pioneers in new format schooling and learning methodology, we have initiated a movement that has changed the face of pre-school and high school education in India.

We are the ONLY brand that creates curriculum for three education Boards viz: ICSE, IGSCE CBSE. For our Primary school curriculum, we adopt best practices from all of these, and allow parents to make an informed choice about Board alignment in Grade 5.
