It gives me great pleasure to learn that EducationWorld has made a distinct category of vintage legacy schools and we are proud that Mayo College is ranked India’s #1 boys boarding school in this new category. During the pandemic we evolved an SOP (standard operating procedure) which helped us to become an anticipatory, responsive and agile institution, and a model for other schools. We also used this time to invest heavily in professional development of our faculty including pastoral care staff. The results of these efforts are evident in the ease with which our staff can perform in a hybrid learning environment. I am also elated about our #1 rank for teacher welfare and development across all vintage boarding schools in the EW survey. At the same time we are building cutting edge facilities which truly reflect our vision of combining tradition with modernity — as reflected in our top score for infrastructure
