The One School proposes second campus in Hyderabad’s Kokapet

September 30, 2026 /Posted byPrajwal EW / 0

The One School, an initiative of the Narayana Educational Group, is planning to expand its presence in Hyderabad with a second campus in Kokapet.

The expansion follows the launch of its first campus in Kondapur and forms part of a 10-year roadmap to establish 10 International Baccalaureate (IB) campuses across major Indian metropolitan cities.

The One School offers a personalised learning model that combines internationally benchmarked curricula with individual learning pathways, continuous mentorship and flexible academic support.

Its approach focuses on academic development alongside emotional and social growth, with values including excellence, discipline, environmental stewardship and empathy. The school also runs a Gifted & Talented programme, developed in collaboration with Northwestern University in the US, to provide advanced learners with academic enrichment and specialised mentorship.

“The Kondapur campus, which currently caters to learners from Pre-Nursery to Grade 2, has been designed around the concept of the physical environment as a “Third Teacher”. Its learning spaces can be adapted for individual work, group projects and focused learning, while dedicated interactive areas combine play, technology and hands-on activities. The campus also incorporates child-focused design aimed at supporting safety and well-being,” according to Nuwaira Pasha, director of schools, The One School.

The school’s model moves away from a standardised approach, allowing learning pathways, pace and support to be adjusted to individual learners. The expansion into Kokapet is expected to be the next step in the group’s plans to scale this model across India through its planned IB campuses according to a note from the school.

Campus highlights:

* Third Teacher: Spaces encourage curiosity, exploration and independent learning.

* Flexible Spaces: Classrooms adapt to individual, group and focused learning.

* Safety & Well-being: Child-friendly design supports physical and emotional well-being.

* Interactive Zones: Play, technology and hands-on activities support engagement.

* Child-centric design: The campus combines personalised learning with spaces.

“Every teacher must aspire to provide the highest level of learning. Many exams in Indian higher education fall under the lowest category in Bloom’s hierarchy: remember and recollect. With the technological revolution, students approaching an exam have easy access to an abundance of information, while surveillance technology struggles to keep pace. The question is not whether technological development is desirable, but how, as a teacher and writer, I am going to grapple with new technology. Do I really rethink the questions I ask in the exam? How can I ask questions that focus on understanding, analysis, evaluation and creativity rather than rote learning? I am incapable of making a definitive judgment. My critical self-examination ends with more questions than answers. Who would help me find answers to seemingly ‘nonsensical’ questions — my old teachers, colleagues, students, parents, employers, the state, or a chatbot?”

“Students are treated as adults when fees, performance, and responsibility are demanded from them, but as children when autonomy, voice, or due process become inconvenient. Harshness is then defended as character-building, and obedience is conflated with ‘respect’. We have built educational experiences around discipline and dizzying hierarchies, where dissent is likely to be labelled as indiscipline, political activism, or disrespect. Distress is then located inside the student, while the university itself appears as a neutral background, but is not. Counselling may help a student respond to these pressures, but it cannot remove them. Time management cannot solve an impossible workload; mindfulness cannot make an opaque grading system transparent; positive thinking cannot make a compromised grievance process trustworthy. Students should be treated as rights-bearing adults and should be made active participants in institutional governance. The harder question is whether universities are willing to examine the conditions they create.”
