June 2022 Program at Shiv Nadar University

In Dec 2021, we successfully concluded a 2-week Winter Residential Program in Bengaluru. Starting May 8, 2022, we look forward to welcoming nearly 100 students from across the country to our summer camps at Manipal University, Manipal, Karnataka.

We are now excited to announce our next residential summer program at Shiv Nadar University, NCR in collaboration with the Shiv Nadar Schools Global Alliances Think Tank from June 16-26, 2022. The program consists of 2 tracks- a senior track for students in grades 8, 9 or 10 and a junior track for students in grades 5, 6 or 7. The bulk of the students in the program will be from schools run by the Shiv Nadar Foundation. However, a limited number of seats is available for students from other schools. If you are interested in the program, please register here. Admissions are on a first-come first-served basis.

GenWise residential programs help bring out the child’s potential by supplementing the work of schools and parents. GenWise’s approach and the benefits of the programs are outlined here.

The Shiv Nadar Schools Global Alliances Think Tank presents a 10-day GenWise Summer Program at the world-class campus of Shiv Nadar University (SNU). This 10 day residential program will run  from June 16- June 26, 2022. Students will arrive at the SNU campus on June 16 by noon and will leave on June 26. There will be an open house and convocation ceremony on Sunday, June 26 in the first half, which parents and teachers will be invited to attend.

The program fee is Rs. 69,000 (this is inclusive of tuition, food and accommodation and 18% GST).

There will be 2 tracks in the program (described in more detail in Annexure 1 of this document). Participants will go through both the modules in their track.

• The senior track for students currently in grade 8,9 or 10 (in the 2022- 23 academic year) has the below 2 academic enrichment modules.

• The junior track for students currently in grade 5, 6 or 7 (In the 2022- 23 academic year) has the following 2 academic enrichment modules.

Apart from the academic enrichment work, students will engage in a host of activities that broadens their horizons, enhances their socio-emotional development and allows them to make connections with their peers and mentors and have fun (in a device-free environment). Students will have an opportunity to visit labs and other facilities at SNU. To get a flavour of how students are impacted by these programs, read GenWise co-founder, Vishnu Agnihotri’s post in a previous edition of this newsletter titled 'The Magic of Residential Programs for Children'.

Safety of students is ensured through tight processes and well-trained program staff. The staff to student ratio in the program is at least 1:5.
