NEW DELHI: Representatives from four of the oldest and most prestigious boarding schools for girls in the United States visited schools in Delhi and Mumbai this week.
The visit was aimed at engaging with local educators, gain insight into the Indian education system, and highlight opportunities for Indian students to pursue high school studies abroad.
The visiting delegation included school leaders from Dana Hall School, near Boston; Emma Willard School, New York; The Madeira School, near Washington DC; and Westover School, Connecticut. These schools are known for their commitment to empowering young women through rigorous academics, leadership development, and global citizenship.
During the visit, the representatives met with students and school administrators of seven different schools with the goal of fostering connections between the Indian and US education communities.
“Our schools are deeply committed to preparing girls to lead with confidence and purpose,” said one of the delegates. “This visit is an exciting opportunity to listen, learn, and share what our schools offer young women from around the world.”
The educational visits were coordinated with the help of Pinku Biswas and Ayan Biswas, Directors of TALIEM, a liaison centre for international educational institutions. It has been collaborating for the past three decades with some of the most prestigious Boarding Schools, colleges and universities in the world.
