Embracing Global Excellence: Modern High School's International Campus Redefines Education Standards

In a significant stride towards global education, Modern High School has opened its new international campus in Kolkata. This expansion marks a pivotal moment for the institution, solidifying its commitment to providing world-class education to students. The Telegraph Online Edugraph got in touch with Mrs Devi Kar, Director of Modern High School to know more about the motivation of establishing the campus and she added “We thought that we were ready to bring in global standards to our School and we also realised that there was a demand for International curricula in our city”.

Situated in the heart of Kolkata, the new campus boasts cutting-edge infrastructure designed to facilitate modern and innovative learning. Spacious classrooms, advanced laboratories, and collaborative spaces provide students with an atmosphere conducive to both academic excellence and personal growth. “Multiple opportunities are to be availed on our new campus. Apart from the beautiful library with its pods, studios and discussion areas there are state-of-the-art labs where experimentation can be carried out freely. In addition to the spacious and well-equipped classrooms, there are interesting spaces for socialising, conferring and reflecting. There is an excellent cafeteria which provides tasty and healthy food items” added Mrs Kar.

Modern High School's new international campus reflects a commitment to fostering global perspectives and nurturing students with a holistic understanding of the world. The institution aims to provide an enriching educational experience that prepares students for the challenges of an interconnected global society. “We wish to foster self-discovery, independent learning and intellectual curiosity. Assessment too will not be through paper and pen tests only” stated the director.

To ensure a truly global experience, the school has recruited a team of qualified faculty members. This diverse group of educators brings a wealth of experience and cultural richness to the learning environment. “The biggest challenges will be to ensure that our faculty is excellent and the upkeep of our brand new campus. It will be very difficult to find caring and competent teachers for various disciplines. The maintenance of the campus will definitely be very expensive and demanding. The infrastructure is so highly automated that any malfunctioning can produce substantial inconvenience. We have competent people on standby and we have back-ups for different contingencies. However, every glitch cannot be anticipated” said Mrs Kar.

With the inauguration of the international campus, Modern High School’s commitment to excellence, coupled with its global vision, makes it a prime choice for parents seeking a truly international education for their children. “A healthy gender ratio, improved sports facilities, constant replenishment of the library, a developed astronomy and robotics programme, a 3D printer and monitored use of AI. Our IGBC-certified green school building must maintain the “platinum” standard which it has officially acquired. Teacher Development - one of our top priorities - will be ongoing” Mrs Kar signed off.

Modern High School's new international campus in Kolkata not only signifies a remarkable expansion but also heralds a new era in education – one that transcends borders, embraces diversity, and prepares students to thrive in an ever-changing global landscape.
