Perrot Memorial Library

Perrot welcomes author Teru Clavel for an insightful discussion of her book World Class: A Mother's Journey Halfway Around the Globe in Search of the Best Education for her Children. An education consultant, Clavel spent 10 years in Tokyo, Shanghai, and Hong Kong with her three children. There, she saw firsthand how Asian schools differ from their American counterparts, which gave her a new perspective on the challenges of education in the U.S. Clavel offers advice for parents who want to ensure their children become lifelong learners and receive an education that is truly world-class.
