JAMMU, Feb 25: The Doon School- India’s pre eminent boarding school and alma mater of stalwarts like Rajiv Gandhi and Amitav Ghosh amongst many others, has announced its Residential ‘Summer at Doon Leadership Programme’ from 1st June to 15th June, 2016 at The Doon School’s beautiful estate in Dehradun, India.
The programme is open for all aspiring young boys and girls in grades 9-12 who are passionate about making a positive impact on the world around them. Application for this programme closes on April 15, 2016.
The Doon School is also welcoming prospective parents and their sons to see the school and meet the admissions department and tour the school either as part of a small group, a bespoke tour or as part of the Open Morning programme which was successfully piloted in November 2015. The school has two entry points at Class 7 and Class 8 only.
Benchmarked with the world’s leading youth leadership programmes, this dynamic and thought provoking leadership programme will be a blend of Socratic dialogues, leadership case studies, creative experiential learning, motivational lectures, outdoor adventures, self-reflection and group interaction. A critically important element will be social service and social responsibility, and their relationship with leadership. This programme will ensure that boys and girls receive a profound understanding of what successful leadership is all about and what is required to demonstrate it in the twenty-first century in the context to developing society and an increasingly globalized world. The course will be taught by specialist staff from Aspire, in conjunction with the teaching community from The Doon School.
“The Doon School has long been associated with innovative thinking and leadership and is passionate about being at the forefront of educational opportunity for its students. The Summer at Doon leadership programme builds naturally on The Doon School’s mission since its founding in 1935, which is ‘to attract and develop exceptional students and teachers from all backgrounds to serve a meritocratic India; inspire them to be just and ethical citizens; train them to be wise and principled leaders; and prepare them to enter one of the strongest fraternities – for life.’ said Dr Peter McLaughlin, Headmaster, The Doon School.
