What is Beyond 8?
Beyond 8 is a hybrid, learner-determined high school programme designed to prepare teenagers for liberal education pathways in India and abroad.
Who is Beyond 8 for?
Beyond 8 is ideal for teenagers who want to take charge of their education, explore their interests, and craft meaningful learning journeys.
Is Beyond 8 a school?
No, we are NOT a school. Beyond 8 is a transformative learning service provider that supports teenagers in achieving their aspirations through personalised, learner-centric pathways.
Is Beyond 8 a recognised school?
No, Beyond 8 is not recognised as a school by any state or central government education department. It operates as a private entity under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, focusing on personalised and transformative learning.
As Beyond 8 is not a school, what rules and regulations apply to it?
Beyond 8 is a brand operated by Nimble Kits Pvt Ltd. Nimble Kits is governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs as a private entity. Since Beyond 8 is not a school, rules and regulations applicable to schools do not apply.
What is a Liberal Education
Liberal education goes beyond disciplines to prepare individuals for life, not just careers. It fosters critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and adaptability—the very qualities needed to navigate an uncertain future. A liberal education is not a luxury; it’s a necessity for building compassionate, well-rounded global citizens
How is personalisation different at Beyond 8 compared to schools?
At Beyond 8, we believe every learner is unique, with their own strengths, interests, and aspirations. Unlike traditional schools, which often adopt a one-size-fits-all approach designed to meet the needs of an age group, Beyond 8 focuses on personalised education.
Our learner-determined pathways provide each teenager with what they need, rather than filtering opportunities based on what a typical 14-year-old might require. This approach gives learners agency and autonomy, fostering self-directed growth and ensuring their learning journey is as unique as they are.
How do admissions work?
Enrolment begins by filling out our enquiry form on the website. You’ll have a conversation with us, our Founders Naveen and Raaji will then present Beyond 8, you'll visit one of our centres, and get a chance to meet other families and facilitators. When all this is done, you'll be made an offer to enrol by us.
Is Beyond 8 a proven programme?
Yes, Beyond 8 has been carefully designed and continuously refined over decades of educational innovation. Our learners consistently achieve admissions to top universities, and our focus on experiential learning and mentorship ensures proven outcomes.
Who recognises Beyond 8 as a leading player?
Beyond 8 is accredited by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) and Middle States Association (MSA), recognised globally by universities. Beyond 8 is also one of the top 8 schools around the world endorsed for Responsible AI in Learning (RAIL).
What happens if my teenager has learning disabilities or behavioural challenges?
Families must disclose all relevant information about their teenager’s learning disabilities, behavioural challenges, or any past disagreements with previous schools during enrolment. Providing accurate disclosures enables us to offer effective support and design personalised pathways. Withholding such information may result in the termination of services.
Is Beyond 8 worth it?
Well, that is subjective. It has no definitive answer. It is a matter of opinion; your opinion. Evaluate it by asking yourself if you can lose by committing your child to a Beyond 8 year?
Understand the founding principles and the people behind Beyond 8. Know that if at anytime you don't like our learning map for your child, you are not bound by any clause to continue with us and that your child can return to what he/she was doing earlier. We stand by what we offer and endeavor to deliver exceptional learning opportunities that are currently unavailable anywhere. If you don't feel this is true upon experiencing what we do, you may withdraw with the full fee for that year, refunded back to you. The full refund is given to learners who choose to withdraw within the first 2 months.
Please note: For learners enrolling in the 2025-26 academic year and beyond, this full refund policy for withdrawal within the first two months will no longer apply. Our updated refund policy reflects the changes made to support the evolving structure of our program and ensure sustainability while continuing to offer exceptional learning experiences. Families are encouraged to review the new refund policy for details. A copy of the updated refund policy will be included as an attachment in the enrollment email offer for your reference

How does Beyond 8 ensure academic rigour?

How is Beyond 8's preparation suitable for the future
Degrees must evolve to represent more than just a receipt of attendance or exam results. They should reflect the learner’s journey—skills acquired, problems solved, and real-world impact created. The future of credentials lies in portfolios, projects, and demonstrated competencies, not just paper qualifications. This is where Beyond 8 excels.
Beyond 8 provides transformative pathways for high school learners to pursue the best collegiate liberal education in India & abroad.
