When students are ready to leave MPA, they are thoughtful, independent, compassionate young adults with shining faces and a solid work ethic. Coupled with the uniqueness of attending an international, spiritually and academically balanced boarding school in India, graduates are uniquely attractive to colleges and universities around the world.
College Counseling
Our Academic Principal guides students to choose university options that fit individual academic goals, learning styles, and personalities. Our students come from many different countries, and we support students and parents in understanding and completing their applications.
Students are supported during each step of the global college admissions process, including assistance with the SAT, ACT, AP tests, and any other country-specific college entrance requirements.
For some students, going straight into college isn’t the right choice for them and we work with them to determine the best next steps, including taking a gap year, attending vocational school, volunteering, or going into the workforce.

Matriculation
In a 2016 survey of alumni, 85% of respondents had applied to college and half of the remaining 15% were planning to apply soon. Of those who had enrolled or already graduated, 70% felt they were as prepared or better prepared for college than others at the same university and 88% reported receiving a 3.0 or higher GPA at their college or university.
