From Bedford UK to Mohali: 473 Years of Academic Prestige Comes to India

Throughout the last 4 centuries, Bedford School UK has shaped leaders, sportspersons and artists. Their approach towards imparting education that develops pupils into the perfect versions of themselves is,

“Excellence is as old as tradition and as common as habit.”

Maintaining the perfect harmony between traditional education and exploratory research, this school has served as a model of exclusive learning for almost 5 centuries now.

This renowned British pedagogy now finds its vibrant new cornerstone in Mohali, Punjab. We are Bedford School Mohali, in Sector 84, a culmination of a visionary partnership between Bedford School UK and Doon International Educational Society. Our school provides premium education to young girls, combining the British academic rigour with the cultural sensitivity of India.

policyOur Aim & Safeguarding Overview

Bedford School UK – A Heritage That Refuses to Stand Still

The centuries-old legacy of Bedford School UK, to prepare change-makers who excel beyond the classroom walls has written its new chapter with the establishment of our school.

Each era of academic offerings adds a fresh layer of exploration without erasing the last. The Alumni’s names fill honour boards in stone corridors, but the school’s secret lies in constant reinvention. 

  • Resilience: Established in 1552, Bedford School UK has survived fires, wars and the vagaries of educational fashion.
  • Global Outlook: Graduates from this school are well-equipped to get themselves into the top universities of the world.

Taking this legacy forward with our school,  we not only bring the nostalgia for centuries-tested academic principles but also give young girls a launchpad to carve out an exceptional future.

Why Did We Choose Mohali for the Campus?

Mohali’s safety, infrastructure, good air quality and cosmopolitan vibe have made it North India’s education and technology corridor.

Why an All-Girls Environment Matters

  • Confidence On Stage: Every captain and prefect is a budding leader who showcases immense potential.
  • Focus on STEM: Lab benches are never claimed by louder voices; experiments belong to the curious.
