A significant achievement for Doon School Srinagar is its partnership with the prestigious Wilmot Foundation, making it one of the first institution in India to establish such a collaboration which stresses the significance of working together across borders in education acknowledging the need for new methods to deal with current issues in education and shape the future of education around the world.
The Doon School Srinagar is focusing on becoming a global learning beacon, stressing that innovation and excellence in education can have a big effect on students’ learning and growth all over the world, regardless of where they live or what culture they are from. This partnership opens up global opportunities for students and faculty, including access to exclusive scholarships in renowned universities worldwide.
By providing these comprehensive facilities and programs, Doon School Srinagar creates an enriching educational ecosystem that benefits not just its immediate stakeholders but also contributes to the broader community's development and progress.
Under Ms. Sanne’s patronage, the school has introduced the concept of sustainable development integration with the ongoing school curriculum. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. These goals address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice.
These goals are highly relevant in today's world as they provide a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
Doon School Srinagar has implemented the SDGs in the school curriculum as it will focus on global awareness, helping students to understand global issues and their interconnectedness. Moreover, it will incorporate problem-solving skills as students will learn to think critically about complex global challenges. It fosters a sense of global citizenship and responsibility by taking empathy and social responsibility into consideration. These SDGs emphasise future-readiness, preparing students for careers in sustainable development and related fields.
Doon School has integrated the SDG-related topics into existing subjects and is involved in developing specific courses or modules on sustainable development and will participate in global initiatives and competitions related to the SDGs.
This approach aligns well with Doon School's focus on holistic education and preparing students for life beyond school, while also fostering creativity, critical thinking, and compassion.
Join us in our mission to inspire students to think globally and act locally!
