MsJayshree Periwal, Chairperson- Jayshree Periwal International School, Jaipur said, “It is a proud moment to see the students of Jayshree Periwal International School reach the pinnacle of success at the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards. The Cambridge IGCSE curricula sows the seeds of inquiry and provides a stimulating environment wherein students develop a quest for learning and inquiry. It gives voice to ideas and emotions, application-based learning is encouraged, and students learn to figure out what to do rather than be told. And most importantly there is joy of learning. Over the years our students have won Cambridge learner awards as the All India Topper, world toppers and more. These have helped them get recognized on the world stage and assisted them in gaining admission to colleges like Yale, UPenn, Oxford amongst many others.”
