WHAT IF YOUR STUDENTS
HAD A CLASSROOM IN INDIA? AND INDIAN STUDENTS HAD
ONE IN YOURS?

Partnership Handshake

That is the question HopClass was built to answer. We create structured, purposeful school partnerships between India and the United Kingdom, where students do not just visit each other's countries, they belong in each other's schools.

We are looking for UK school leaders who believe that the most powerful education happens when young people encounter a world genuinely different from their own.

THE ORGANISATION BEHIND HOPCLASS

INDIA'S NO.1 SCHOOL EDUCATION
MEDIA PLATFORM

ScooNews is where India's school leaders go for news, inspiration, and community. For over a decade, we have been the most trusted voice in Indian school education, publishing the country's most widely read school magazine, running major education conferences, and operating a growing YouTube platform for educators.

70,000+ schools. 6 million+ annual readers. A decade of trust.

When ScooNews recommends your school to its network, every principal in India pays attention.

INDIA'S FIRST STRUCTURED
SCHOOL EXCHANGE
PLATFORM

HopClass is the programme that makes school partnerships real. We design every exchange with structured learning themes, daily skill outcomes, safeguarded accommodation, and deep community integration.

This is not tourism. Every day has a purpose. Every experience has a learning framework. Every student returns changed.

We operate under Globetide Learning India Pvt. Ltd. and work with accredited partners in the UK.

WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING

A REAL PARTNERSHIP. NOT A ONE-OFF VISIT.
THREE LAYERS, ONE GROWING
RELATIONSHIP.

LAYER 1

STUDENT EXCHANGES

Indian students spend 10 structured days in your school. Your students spend time in India. Both cohorts live with host families or hotels, attend real classes, and engage with the local community.

The entry point. The beginning.

LAYER 2

TEACHER COLLABORATION

Teachers from both schools co-plan lessons virtually across the year. Shared curriculum themes. Peer feedback. The occasional in-person visit. A relationship that makes both educators better.

Where the real depth happens.

LAYER 3

FULL SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP

A formal, enduring partnership where both schools carry each other's name, celebrate milestones together, and jointly develop a generation of young people who see the world as their classroom.

The legacy.

WHAT INDIAN STUDENTS BRING TO YOUR SCHOOL

India is the world's most populous country, its fastest-growing major economy, and the source of some of the most ambitious young minds on the planet. When Indian students walk into your school, they bring with them a deep respect for academic rigor, a hunger to learn, a curiosity about British culture, and a perspective that genuinely challenges and enriches your own students.

IN THE CLASSROOM

  • They arrive with strong academic foundations, particularly in science and mathematics.
  • They participate actively in debates and discussions, bringing a genuinely different world view.
  • They ask questions that make your teachers think differently about the material.
  • They demonstrate that academic ambition and cultural richness can coexist beautifully.

IN THE COMMUNITY

  • Host families consistently report that hosting an Indian student is one of the most enriching experiences they have had.
  • Students bring food, stories, festivals, and a warmth that becomes part of your school's community memory.
  • The friendships formed during a 10-day stay routinely extend into years of cross-cultural connection.

WHAT YOUR STUDENTS GET IN INDIA

India is not just a country. It is an experience that rewires how a young person sees the world. Your students will attend real classes in Indian schools, interact with students who study harder and dream bigger than almost anyone they have ever met, explore ancient cities and modern innovation hubs in the same afternoon, and return to the UK with a global awareness no textbook could ever deliver.

THEY GO AS VISITORS. THEY COME BACK AS GLOBAL CITIZENS.

AND YOUR SCHOOL'S STORY GETS TOLD TO 70,000 SCHOOLS ACROSS INDIA IN THE PAGES OF SCOONEWS.

THE SCOONEWS
ADVANTAGE FOR YOUR SCHOOL

This is where HopClass is genuinely unlike any other exchange programme you will encounter. Our media platform means we can do something no travel company or exchange agency can:

Your school in print.
Your school gets featured in India's most-read school education magazine, reaching school leaders and parents across the country.

On screen across India.
The exchange story gets covered on The Education Verdict, our YouTube channel followed by thousands of Indian educators.

On stage at our conferences.
Your partnership gets showcased at the ScooNews Global Ed-Fest, attended by principals and school heads from across India.

Across our digital ecosystem. Across our digital platforms and newsletters, your school becomes known as a forward-thinking UK partner with real commitment to global education.

SAFETY AND STRUCTURE: OUR NON-NEGOTIABLES

We know that saying yes to an international exchange means putting your trust and your school's reputation on the line. We take that seriously.

BEFORE THE EXCHANGE

  • Pre-departure orientation for students and parents
  • Medical, allergy, and special needs information collected in full
  • Emergency contacts and protocols established with both schools

DURING THE EXCHANGE

  • Dedicated coordinator at your school and in the field
  • Daily check-ins and real-time parent communication
  • First-aid trained staff present throughout

HOW TO BEGIN

We are not asking you to commit to anything today. We are asking you to sit with us, tell us about your school, and explore whether this is the right partnership for your community.
Every great partnership starts with a single conversation. We would love this to be yours.

YOUR SCHOOL.
INDIA'S CLASSROOM.
LET US BUILD SOMETHING THAT LASTS.
