Building for the future

Because many Indians own a business, training in entrepreneurship is in demand. Therefore, the school will soon offer a bachelor's degree in business.
Awards
Recently, the school has had four Gold Medal winners: one Education student, and three History students. Besides this, the school has had eight students place in the top ten. Gold Medalists are the very top students among hundreds of thousands of college-age students.
Teachers
-
Most of the teachers in the Bachelors and Masters programs hold PhDs.
-
All but one teacher at the high school (grades 7-12) hold Masters degrees.
-
Most of the teachers in the English school (K-8 currently) also hold Masters degrees.
Pressing needs
We are working to:
-
Build more classrooms for the English School in order to meet demand for instruction there through 12th grade.
-
Provide more library books, upgraded laboratory equipment, and additional computers.
-
Create an endowment that will allow the school to pay higher wages. Because of the very low school fees, GMV has a hard time competing with for-profit schools in attracting teachers.
The students TRULY need your help!
