Hem Sheela Model School and Drury University (USA) share a unique sister school relationship that fosters global academic and cultural exchange programs, enhancing educational opportunities for students and faculty of both institutions. Envisioned by Dr. Rabindra N. Roy, the founder of Hem Sheela Model School, the partnership was created with the sole purpose of elevating the educational experiences across both campuses, leading to Hem Sheela Model School being officially recognised as a sister school of Drury University since 2002. This exchange between the occidental and the oriental creates unique global educational experiences that shape the sister school relationship, fostering new teaching techniques supported by contemporary teaching aids. The partnership facilitates cultural exchange, academic collaboration, and mutual growth. Through this bond, students from Hem Sheela Model School gain exposure to international educational standards and opportunities for higher studies abroad, while Drury University students and faculty benefit from immersive experiences in India. Joint programs, workshops, and exchange visits continuously enrich the academic environment, fostering a global perspective and promoting cross-cultural understanding. Ultimately, this collaboration exemplifies a strong commitment to expanding educational horizons and building lasting international ties. Over the years, visits by eminent Drury administrators and supporters have strengthened this bridge time and again. Notable guests include Dr. John Moore and Mr. John Beuerlein, Member of the Board of Trustees at Drury University, who visited Hem Sheela in 2007, 2009, 2013, and 2017. The school was also honored by visits from Nobel Laureate Dr. Johann Deisenhofer of the Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, and his wife Dr. Kirsten Fischer Lindahl in 1996, 2005, and 2010.

The amphitheatre is a dynamic and versatile space that brings the school community together for a wide variety of activities.

The spacious and aesthetically designed area inspires creativity and active participation, providing students with valuable opportunities to develop confidence, leadership abilities, and stage presence.
