Successful Delhi School: Mira Model School

We visited a school in Delhi that was founded by Dolly Oberoi and her family. It caters primarily to middle to upper-middle class families, and provides a plethora of courses including a world-class technology focus.

Dolly, who resides and works in the greater Washington D.C. region with her husband Curtis Cox, is the founder of the lucrative and very successful C2 Technologies. Here she is at a leadership conference in DC where I met her and learned about Mira Model School in Delhi.
Here is a web link to her company: http://www.c2ti.com/company/company_leadership.htm

Her family still resides in Delhi and have successfully established the school and are working on developing a dental school currently. The Oberoi family and the teachers at the school are very eager to be at par with technological advances and know-how of top-rated Western schools. With the resources available to them, I have no doubt that they will continue to thrive.

The school did not have pressing needs, but future collaborations with the teachers is likely on the agenda. I have taught at the secondary level, and created an international distance learning project, which can be very successful if planned accordingly.
