Megha Ghai was walking down the road with her friend when she spotted an advertisement of Amity, the leading educational group of India. “Hey! look at that. I have also attended this Amity University Summer School programme. When I was in Delhi Public School, Noida, I came across this advertisement in The Global Times. I must say it was an amazing experience.”
“But what is it exactly?”, enquired Megha’s friend.
“I will explain it to you. The programme is a great experience to explore the horizon of opportunities through insightful and practical learning techniques that invokes a path of self-discovery among the young students.”
“That sounds interesting…tell me more.”
“You see it’s a unique concept that’s followed by leading global universities like Harvard and Stanford. It gives school students an opportunity to experience university life and make an informed career choice. Since you’re in Class XI, you must definitely give it a shot.”
“I am already thinking of registering for it. When is it?”
“Its 13th batch is commencing from May 27 and is till June 7, 2019. It will be held at Amity University Noida.”
“But what should I apply for?”
“I did my Film awareness & film making course there. Learning about film making and photography was really good and the fabulous photography teachers added to the learning. But you see, there are large number of courses in areas of science, technology and innovation, humanities, management, economics and so on.”
“Since you have already been a part of this programme, can you tell who all would be there?”
“Over the years, more than 100 schools from India and abroad have sent their students to Amity Summer School…the likes of Ysgol Friars, Wales, UK; United World College, Singapore; The Shri Ram School; Dhirubhai Ambani International School among many others.”
“That means I’ll get to meet people from various walks of life.”
“Yes, of course. I’m quoting Director Ajay Rana who said, “This concept not only gives a clear understanding about the journey ahead but also helps the student to be versed with university culture. Plus, meeting students from various places who are studying from diverse schools in India and abroad allows the students to know the world outside and make new friends.”
“I’m definitely enrolling for this.”
“You must! I made a friend there, called Ashrut Mohan Narula who was from Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai. He did a course in Biotechnology there. He says that those 10 days gave him lifelong friends and a wonderful pre-university experience and he misses those days.”
“Oh, that is so great!”
“Another friend of mine, Jitesh Madan from The Heritage School, Delhi did his Marketing and Sales course at AUSS. He thanked the eminent faculty who guided him in choosing a career which suited his potential. The teaching patterns were new and advanced. My friend, there is a lot to look forward to.”
“Amazing. In fact, they should come to our school to give a presentation so that more people enroll in the programme.”
“I’ll give you some numbers to contact, to get the Summer School presentation done at your school: 971-769-4609 (Amit), 981-010-4149 (Anil), 882-683-8620 (Anupam) and 704-229-2134 (Hemant). You can also visit the official website www.amity.edu/summerschool for more information.”
