About This Podcast

Destination Education is your global window into educational excellence. While our roots began in the UK’s prestigious independent and boarding school sector, we have expanded our horizon to explore world-class curricula and transformative learning across every nation. Hosted by Ruth Benny of Top Schools, who brings over 30 years of expertise in guiding families, this series features candid, in-depth conversations with: • School Leaders & Visionaries: Discover the philosophies shaping the world's most innovative schools. • The Learners: Hear directly from pupils navigating modern education. • Impact Guests: Be inspired by leaders—both in and out of the classroom—whose educational journeys paved the way for extraordinary careers. Whether we’re discussing wellbeing, academic rigor, or how a specific schooling experience changed a life, we go beyond the surface to help you align education with your family’s values.
