## What the Meru Partnership Covers

Meru International School was founded in 2018 by Meghana Gorukanti Jupally. The group operates two campuses in Miyapur and Tellapur, offering CBSE and Cambridge pathways from the Early Years to Grade 12, with a new campus coming up in Gopanpally. The campuses include science and computing laboratories, libraries, interactive digital classrooms and sports and arts infrastructure.

Under the partnership, Meru will use Lighthouse Learning's Central Education Team for pedagogy, curriculum design, assessment and faculty development. It will also adopt the group's Health & Safety framework, supported by regular audits and certification, and its Centre of Well-Being, which supports inclusive practices and students' social-emotional and mental well-being. Lighthouse Digital Labs, the group's in-house technology team, will develop secure, child-centred solutions for teaching and learning.

The collaboration also covers school leadership development and opportunities for students and educators to engage with Lighthouse Learning's wider national network. Prajodh Rajan, Founder and Group CEO of Lighthouse Learning Group, said, "In a relatively short span of time, Meru International School has established itself as a respected institution in Hyderabad, with a clear educational philosophy and a strong commitment to its students." Meghana Gorukanti Jupally, Founder Director of Meru International School, said, "We started Meru with one idea: children should be taught how to think, not what to think."
