JAYSHREE PERIWAL

Founder-Chairperson, Jayshree Periwal Group of Schools

D r. Jayshree Periwal is arguably Rajasthan’s most well-respected education entrepreneur.
The founder-chairperson of the Jayshree Periwal Group of three nationally top-ranked pri-
mary-secondaries and seven preschools in Jaipur (pop. 3.8 million) which have an aggregate enrol-
ment of 10,000 children mentored by 1,050 teachers, she also has the distinction of having promot-
ed the desert state's first international school — the Jayshree Periwal International School (JPIS).
Affiliated with the International Baccalaureate (Geneva) and Cambridge Assessment International
Education (UK) exam board, JPIS (estb. 2011) is ranked Rajasthan’s #1 international day-cum-board-
ing school and #6 countrywide in the latest annual EducationWorld India School Rankings (EWISR)
2019-20. In 2019, students of the school-leaving class XII were awarded higher study scholarships
valued at $8.4 million (Rs.63 crore) — the highest of any school countrywide — by top-ranked uni-
versities abroad.

Moreover, the group’s CBSE-affiliated Jayshree Periwal High School (estb.2001) is ranked #2 in Jaipur
and Rajasthan (pop.74 million) in the category of co-ed day schools in EWISR 2019-20. In pre-prima-
ry education as well the seven eponymous preschools have set new benchmarks in contemporary
ECCE (early childhood care and education). Five of them are ranked among the Top 10 pre-primaries
of the pink city in the latest EducationWorld India Preschool Rankings 2019-20. “The prime objective
of the JP Group of Schools is to provide safe, joyful and intellectually stimulating environments to
children to develop their inherent academic, co-curricular, sports and life skills. I'm satisfied that
over the past two decades we have provided a small but important minority of children of Rajas-
than, access to globally benchmarked early childhood to secondary education,” says Periwal.
