American Eduglobal School for sports and academic learning to come up in Ghaziabad

India will soon have a one-of-its-kind American school for sports and academic learning in Delhi-NCR. The American Eduglobal School, to come up in Ghaziabad, will use practical teaching and learning methods picked up from USA-based Rutgers School's 250 years of experience and offer modern sports infrastructure.

Shikhadeep Educational Trust has signed an agreement with Edovu Ventures, one of the leading education service providers in India, to open an American Eduglobal School on a 14-acre campus near Pilkhuwa toll at NH-24 in Ghaziabad, a press communique from Shikhadeep Educational Trust stated.

According to the partnership, the school will replicate Rutgers' curriculum for teaching and other activities and support the Indian government's aim of creating sports universities and school facilities across India.

For the overall development of the students, the school will teach in accordance with the CBSE and international curriculum and will have features like a half-Olympic-size swimming pool, golf driving range, horse riding, football, cricket, rugby, badminton, hockey, horse polo, indoor and outdoor sports, indoor and outdoor top sports academy, and state-of-the-art technology and Makerspace labs.

Anil Kumar Singhal, chairman, Shikhadeep Educational Trust, said, "We are highly influenced by the legacy of Rutgers School. We are looking forward to starting a new chapter in India. This opportunity would facilitate students to achieve their goals outside the traditional teaching frame."

The school will also have integrated teaching, taking care of parameters like academics, inter and intra activities, association with schools around the world and live skills. It will have focused labs for Robotics, Coding and Augmented Reality.

Commenting on the development, P.K. Samal, managing director, Edovu Ventures, said, Edovu Ventures is the first educational service provider that works in providing customised US teaching-learning methodology for Asia.

“This 14-acre campus in Ghaziabad will be one of a kind in providing overall holistic education to its students. It will not only encourage students to look at the practical side of what's being taught in class but also motivate them to participate in different sports,” he added.
