Doon, Welham Girls among India’s top boarding schools
The Doon School has ranked second and Welham Girls School fourth in a survey of India’s top boarding schools conducted by Education World, India’s sole education news and analysis magazine published monthly.
Its mission is to “build the pressure of public opinion to make education the No 1 item on the national agenda”. Currently, the Education World has 750,000 readers comprising teachers, parents and senior school and college students in 28 States around the country.
Rishi Valley School, Chittoor, has retained its premier position as India’s most respected traditional/legacy boarding school with an aggregate score of 1,276 once again followed by the Doon School, Dehradun. With a discernable shift with the SECA (socio-economic category A) public in favour of new age education, Mayo College Girls, Ajmer, jointly ranked second last year, has been pushed down to No. 3, followed by Welhams Girls, Dehradun (No 4) and Bishop Cotton, Shimla and Lawrence School, Sanawar, jointly ranked No 5. Among other schools included in the list of Top 10 boarding schools are: Daly College, Indore (6); Assam Valley School, Balipara (7), Mayo College, Ajmer (8), Sherwood College, Nainital (9); Chinmaya International, Coimbatore (9) and the Scindia School, Gwalior, Orchid International, Nashik and Birla Public, Pilani jointly ranked No 10.
Vasant Valley, Delhi, has been voted as India’s No 1 day school and the Indus International School, Bangalore, has been ranked the No 1 international school in the country.
