India is witnessing a transformation in school education. Parents want global exposure, students want international university pathways, and schools are looking for meaningful ways to implement NEP 2020 skill-based learning. Until now, the only realistic way to access U.S.-style schooling was to enroll in an expensive international school or move abroad.
That changes today.
Onfire Learning Academy, an accredited online K–12 school from the United States, has officially launched in India in partnership with India Market Entry (IME). This collaboration brings globally recognized U.S. high-school credentials, dual-diploma programs, and vocational skill courses directly to Indian students, schools, and education partners – without requiring them to leave their current school.
Global recognition, local comfort
Onfire Learning gives Indian learners the opportunity to access U.S.-recognized school qualifications while continuing CBSE, ICSE, IB or State board studies in India. Students do not need to switch schools; they simply add U.S. courses alongside their existing academics.
The advantages are clear:
- Globally recognized credentials
- Exposure to U.S.-style coursework and assessments
- Stronger study-abroad applications
- Flexibility to learn online at their own pace
The launch in India makes these opportunities mainstream rather than limited to elite international schools.
The U.S. Dual Diploma Program – two diplomas, one student
One of the most exciting offerings for India is the U.S. Dual Diploma Program for Grades 9–12. Students complete their Indian board schooling as usual and simultaneously take a set of required U.S. credits online. On completion, they graduate with:
- Their Indian board certificate
- A U.S.-accredited high-school diploma
The dual diploma helps demonstrate:
- College readiness
- English proficiency
- Ability to succeed in international curriculum
This attached content described exactly how powerful this pathway is for Indian aspirants.
NEP 2020 ready: Vocational and skill-based education
NEP 2020 emphasizes:
- Vocational exposure from middle school
- Digital literacy
- Financial awareness
- Life and career skills
Onfire Learning Academy directly supports these goals through:
- Career & Technical Education (CTE)
- Vocational skill courses from Grade 6 upward
- Digital citizenship and media literacy
- Financial literacy programs
As noted in the provided document, these courses go beyond theory into real-world capability.
This makes it easier for Indian schools to comply with NEP mandates while giving students practical skills that matter.
Learning on your terms — not the other way around
Onfire’s learning design recognizes the reality of Indian students’ schedules like coaching, extracurriculars, entrance prep, tuition, and family commitments.
Courses are:
- fully online
- self-paced
- supported by digital tools
- designed to sit alongside school timetables
- Requires weekly 3-4 hours only
With AI learning support such as Sparky and optional teacher assistance, students can ask questions, revisit lessons, and learn independently without pressure.
A solution for schools and education partners too
The launch in India is not just for individual students.

- K–12 schools
