Indian Summer School is a 2018 Channel 4 docuseries in which five British boys, who have failed their GCSEs, are invited to attend the Indian all-boys boarding school The Doon School, described in the show as the "Eton of India" [1] [2] (though the school eschews the label). The three-part miniseries was produced by Naked Entertainment, and originally aired in March–April 2018 on Channel 4.[3]
In the show, five working class boys, Jack, Alfie, Jake, Ethan and Harry, are given a chance to reform their academic performance, based on the premise that an all-round education in an ethnically-diverse environment at one of the world's best schools will prove beneficial.[4] Matthew Raggett, the school's headmaster, believes the boys' lives can be turned around in six months at the school, which has the exam pass rate of 100%.[5]
