Meridian Schools Hyderabad Partners with HOAG to Launch Leadership Lab
Hyderabad, India | February 05, 2026: Meridian Schools Hyderabad has partnered with HOAG to bring the HOAG Leadership Lab to its campus as a key leadership development initiative for students.
As part of this collaboration, five chapters of the Leadership Lab will be delivered through two-day immersive programmes for each chapter. These immersive programmes are conducted through the academic year, engaging over 1,200 students from Meridian’s Hyderabad campuses: Banjara Hills, Madhapur, Kukatpally and Uppal, in a shared learning experience.
The HOAG Leadership Lab is a flagship programme designed for students aged 11 to 17, focusing on leadership, agency, and future-ready skills.
