James Hodgson, headmaster of Bedford School, said, “We are incredibly excited to take the Bedford School ethos and values to Mohali. Bedford School Mohali will be a beacon of excellence, nurturing young women to become leaders and innovators in their communities and beyond. Our partnership with Doon International Education Society is a testament to our shared commitment to providing world-class education and nurturing a global community of learners.”
The campus is being developed in collaboration with the Doon International Education Society, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1993, which currently operates schools in Dehradun, Mohali, and Chandigarh.
Founded in the 16th century, Bedford School said the new campus is designed to promote academic excellence, character development, and personal growth. It aims to cultivate intellectually curious, resilient, and confident young women through a blend of academic rigor, creativity, critical thinking, and community responsibility.
Mohali was chosen for its growing status as an educational and IT hub, home to institutions such as Ashoka University, Plaksha University, and Amity University.
Facilities will include modern classrooms, a 1,000-seater auditorium, science and technology labs, boarding houses, sports infrastructure, and dedicated spaces for art and music.
