Lighthouse Learning Group, one of India’s leading Early Childhood and K-12 education groups has reported strong results for four of its schools in the 2025 PISA for Schools assessment with scores above the OECD reference average across Reading, Mathematics and Science.
Five schools from the group participated in the assessment: Billabong High International School in Malad and Vadodara; Centre Point School, Amravati Road Bypass and EuroSchool campuses in HSR and Undri.
PISA for Schools is an international assessment that evaluates not only students’ knowledge but also their ability to interpret information, reason through unfamiliar situations, solve problems and apply concepts in real-world contexts. It also examines aspects of the learning environment, including student wellbeing, motivation and sense of belonging.

The participating schools demonstrated strong performance in the 2025 PISA for Schools assessment with three schools scoring above the OECD reference average across Reading, Mathematics and Science.
} Billabong High International School, Malad: 517 in Reading, 510 in Mathematics and 523 in Science, scoring above the OECD reference average across all three domains.
} Billabong High International School, Vadodara: 498 in Reading, 507 in Mathematics and 522 in Science
} EuroSchool, HSR: 508 in Reading, 507 in Mathematics and 531 in Science
} EuroSchool, Undri: 506 in Reading, 485 in Mathematics and 506 in Science, performing above the OECD reference average in Reading and Science.
} Centre Point School, Amravati Road Bypass: 476 in Reading, 469 in Mathematics and 476 in Science, providing the school with an international benchmark and a baseline for further strengthening learning outcomes.
Leadership Emphasises Application-Based Learning
Commenting on the results, Sadashiv Nayak, CEO, K-12 Schools, Lighthouse Learning Group, said, “At Lighthouse Learning, we believe that meaningful education goes beyond what students know to how confidently and thoughtfully they can apply that knowledge. The PISA for Schools results provide our schools with an important international benchmark and, more importantly, an opportunity to reflect on how we can continue strengthening learning outcomes.
“We are encouraged by our learners and educators and see this as another step in our ongoing journey to equip young people with the capabilities they need to navigate an increasingly complex world,” he added.
Dr. Natasha Mehta, Chief Education Officer, Lighthouse Learning Group, said the PISA for Schools assessment aligns closely with the group’s approach to learning, which encourages students to question, interpret, reason and apply concepts. She added that the results highlight areas of strength while offering educators insights into opportunities for further improvement.
Assessment Offers Insights Beyond Academic Performance
According to the group, the findings will help educators translate assessment insights into classroom practices that make learning more relevant, engaging and future-ready for students.
Beyond academic performance, the assessment provides insights into students’ wellbeing, motivation, sense of belonging and relationships within the school environment. These findings can help schools identify strengths, improve teaching methods and support continuous improvement in learning outcomes.
By benchmarking student capabilities against an international framework, Lighthouse Learning aims to strengthen its focus on relevant, application-based and future-ready education. The group’s approach centres on equipping students not only to perform academically but also to think independently, solve unfamiliar problems and apply their learning with confidence.
