The Rajkumar College (or RKC) in Rajkot is one of the oldest K-12 institutions in India. RKC has a 26-acre (105,000 m²) campus in the heart of Rajkot city. ==History== The foundation stone was laid in 1868 and the college was formally opened in 1870. The college was founded for the education of the princely order by the princes and chiefs of Kathiawad for their sons and relations. In 1938, on the initiative of its founding members, the college became a public school (private school in American terms). The college is a founding member of the Indian Public Schools Conference and a member of the Round Square conference of schools, a worldwide association of more than 60 schools that allows students to travel between schools and tour the country or do community service. In 2001 the college opened its doors to girls, in what has been a boys' bastion for over a century. The school has around 50 girls, with boarding facilities. Another endeavor of the Rajkumar College Administration has been Priyalok Villas, a pre-school program for the kids; originally housed in a 1909 Hyde sanatorium but now housed in a different building. Whilst having its own domain, it has access to all the facilities of the Rajkumar College. The school is expanding. The Rajkumar College for Girls, a secondary school was inaugurated on March 24, 2011; before this, the fully functional elementary co-ed school had flourished for a decade. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rajkumar College, Rajkot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
