Boarding school provides students with an experience unlike any other – the opportunity to immerse themselves in their education, grow within a supportive and diverse community, and position themselves for success after school. However, choosing a boarding school is a life-changing decision for both parents and children.
One of the most important characteristics of a great boarding school is the ability to create an environment in which children feel safe and supported. At MAMS boarding school this is what we aim at. We provide an ambience that encourages students to learn not only academic skills and lessons but also life lessons.
Our school provides residential facilities for boys on campus. Each of the hostels is well-equipped and provides all of the amenities required for children to live and grow in an environment that they recognise as their own.
The focus of our boarding facility is to deliver convenience rather than luxury. Each hostel room, shared by four students, is aesthetically decorated and purposefully built.
The entertainment area of the house is a great spot to unwind and relax and indulge in activities like playing indoor games, watching TV, or listening to music. A special-duty teacher stays in the house and supervises the children, keeping a close watch on their social and emotional development. Teachers play a powerful role in shaping and guiding their young charges while they are at school. They also help students learn to take responsibility for one another’s well-being.
Each boarding house has a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. We believe in providing our students with a sense of comfort and welcome parents to maintain communication with their children on a regular basis through phone calls and visits.
Hostel life gives you access to a world of choices for both advanced learning and personal growth. Boarders get additional benefits like special lectures from visiting faculties for career development, competitive exams, sports and other co-curricular activities. Our boarders get the best opportunities to utilise personality development and career counselling programmes so that they can make informed choices about their future.
“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”
Students must maintain a sense of decorum in order to have a successful and promising boarding school experience. At MAMS, we accomplish this by instilling a sense of self-discipline in our students, ensuring their safety and success.
• A student is not permitted to accept visitors at school without the approval of his Housemaster. If the visitor is not a registered visitor, he should have an authorisation letter from the parents of the student or be known to a member of the teaching staff at the school.
• Students will be permitted to leave with their parents for the day or overnight on fixed dates as outlined in the annual calendar, with written notification to the child’s Housemaster/mistress.
• A student may visit his local guardians as per the visiting guidelines with written permission from his parents to the concerned Housemaster.
• Parents or Local Guardians are only permitted to take the child out once or twice a month, and only on specific Sundays or School holidays, at the Principal’s discretion.
• We only let a student out during the school year for the weddings of blood brothers or sisters. Cousins, even those from the same family, do not qualify. If we have advance notice and clear travel instructions, the child is allowed to spend two nights at home plus travel time on such occasions.
• No boy can borrow money from his L.G. without the knowledge of his Housemaster.
• Visits home for bereavement or serious illness in the family will be allowed at the Principal’s discretion.
• Parents and L.G.s should not go around the residences on their own unless the Housemaster has given them permission.
Living away from home and on campus in a boarding school setting offers invaluable opportunities for personal and social development. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build lifelong friendships. We at MAMS believe that students should be given the best possible environment and resources so that they can learn about the benefits of community living, the joy of sharing, and the importance of working together to achieve common life goals.
The best thing about hostel life is that it helps students develop their ethics and core beliefs. It also promotes the development of group dynamics by minimising individual disparities. It prepares students to compete in today’s demanding and competitive environment.
Keeping in mind the nutrition needs of the students, the school provides a sumptuous vegetarian and non-vegetarian diet that tastes exactly like home-cooked food. The food is catered to as per the diet required to keep a child fit and healthy.
Messing is in the Central Dining Hall supervised by vigilant staff members who guide the students about table etiquette and manners. The residential staff members and students eat together in the CDH.
The Mess serves five meals: breakfast, mid-day snacks, lunch, evening snacks and supper. Mid-morning snacks or fruits are served during break time during school hours. Both Indian and Western food is served. Fresh fruit, vegetables and milk are provided every day. Extra or special food, if prescribed as necessary by the school doctor, is catered for. The Mess Committee, which includes both staff and students, meets regularly to review the menu and discuss the quality of food being served.
The food is procured and cooked by our in-house staff under an experienced Catering Manager who keeps it calorific, nourishing and wholesome. The kitchen is equipped with electrical equipment supported by bottled gas cookers. Periodic cleaning regimes ensure that the mess is germ-free and perfectly sanitised to ensure that there is no compromise with the health of the students.
In order to facilitate the smooth functioning of the mess services, the students are required to follow the mess rules.
• Students should not only allow guests and staff members to enter first but also hold the door open for them to do so.
