Surat's Fountainhead School Breaks Ground on Second Campus

One of India's highest-ranked international schools just broke ground on a campus that will bring progressive education to hundreds more students in Surat.

Fountainhead School held a traditional foundation ceremony on March 26, 2026, for its new Malgama campus. Gujarat's Deputy Chief Minister Harshbhai Sanghavi laid the cornerstone for the school's second location, which will open its doors in June 2027.

The timing couldn't be better for families in South Gujarat. Fountainhead currently ranks 5th nationally among top international curriculum day schools in India, according to Cfore School Rankings 2025. Since 2008, the school has pioneered International Baccalaureate education in Surat, building a reputation for strong university placements and student-centered learning.

The new campus sits in Malgama village, just 16 minutes from Magdalla junction. This location opens access for families who previously found the original campus too far from home.

The Ripple Effect

Quality international education used to concentrate in India's biggest metros. Now, schools like Fountainhead are proving that tier-two cities can deliver the same caliber of learning. The expansion reflects growing demand from parents who want inquiry-based, globally recognized curricula without leaving their hometowns.

The Malgama campus will feature makerspaces where students can tinker and create, modern sports facilities, and learning environments designed for collaboration. These aren't just nice amenities. They're tools that help students tackle real-world problems through hands-on exploration.

With 18 years of IB teaching experience, Fountainhead's educators know how to nurture curious, independent thinkers. The school's track record speaks for itself through consistent university acceptances and students who graduate ready for global citizenship.

The new campus means Surat will have two full K-12 International Baccalaureate schools serving the region. For families weighing their options, that's two chances to give their children an education that prepares them not just for tests, but for life.

Construction begins immediately, with the first students expected to walk through the doors in less than 18 months.
