The Doon School, Dehradun, one of the popular boarding school in India and alma mater of stalwarts like Rajiv Gandhi and Amitav Ghosh amongst many others, has announced its residential ‘Summer at Doon leadership Programme’ from June 1 to 15, 2016. The programme is open for all aspiring students in grades nine to 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 delighted to welcome 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 VII and Class VIII only.
This 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 globalised world. The course will be taught by specialist staff from Aspire, in conjunction with the teaching community from The Doon School.
