Today, as we celebrate World Health Day, we are reminded that health isn’t just about physical well-being, it’s about nurturing minds, fostering resilience, and empowering individuals to thrive in the face of challenges. At HOAG Summer School, we believe that true health begins with equipping young minds with the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex world.
In collaboration with the prestigious iHUB DivyaSampark, IIT Roorkee, HOAG is India’s first Ivy-grade summer school designed for students aged 11-17. But this isn’t just another academic program, it’s a transformative experience that prioritises emotional intelligence, leadership, and critical thinking alongside innovation and creativity.
Why does this matter? Because the world your child will inherit demands more than memorisation, it demands adaptability, empathy, and the courage to experiment. HOAG’s curriculum is built to address these needs through groundbreaking modules like LEGO Serious Play, The Friendship Factory, and The Lost Dutchman’s Goldmine Simulation. These aren’t just workshops, they’re immersive experiences that teach problem-solving, collaboration, and resilience in ways traditional education often overlooks.
Take emotional intelligence, for example. At HOAG, students participate in workshops like The Friendship Factory, where they learn self-awareness, empathy, and relationship management using Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence Model. These skills don’t just help students manage their emotions, they prepare them to lead with compassion in a world that often feels disconnected.
Or consider our Leadership Challenge module, inspired by globally recognised frameworks. Students don’t just learn about leadership, they practice it through hands-on activities that challenge them to inspire vision, enable collaboration, and challenge the status quo. The result? Young leaders who are ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow with confidence and clarity.
And let’s not forget innovation, the cornerstone of progress. Through modules like The Idea Incubator and Building for the Future, students dive into design thinking and AI fundamentals, learning how to prototype solutions for real-world challenges. These aren’t just technical skills—they’re mindsets that empower students to think critically and creatively in any situation.
At HOAG Summer School, we believe that health extends beyond the body to include mental agility, emotional resilience, and intellectual curiosity. By creating an environment where students can stumble, create, debate, and discover their potential without the pressure of grades or rote learning, we’re fostering a generation of future-ready individuals who are prepared to thrive—not just survive—in an ever-changing world.
So this World Health Day, let’s commit to nurturing young minds with holistic learning experiences that prioritise their growth in every dimension, physical, emotional, intellectual, and social.
Because healthy beginnings lead to hopeful futures, and at HOAG Summer School, every day is a step toward building those futures.
