Academics Overview

CBSE/NCERT and NCF Driven

Our curriculum is designed keeping in mind the guidelines drawn by the NCF and NCERT which are considered supreme in education. We have carefully chosen textbooks in accordance with the standards set by the CBSE. 

 

A holistic and all-around development approach can be seen in the curriculum adopted by the school. We understand that it is crucial to align the textbook to the learning goals to make the learning process meaningful for the learners. The curriculum resonates with the education philosophy adopted by the school. We deliver dynamic learning experiences by using different teaching methods which include project-based learning, community-based learning, experiential learning, and authentic learning, among others.

 

The CBSE syllabus provides for general all-around education and examines students in English, Hindi, Mathematics, Social Studies and Sciences – all compulsory subjects and one optional subject for which Physical Education is the preferred option at MAMS. In addition, all students must be internally assessed and must pass Socially Useful and Productive Works (SUPW).

 

The CBSE Syllabus is career-oriented – the only compulsory subjects being English and SUPW – and provides for three to five career-oriented subjects to be studied out of a choice of twenty. Currently, we are offering students the Science, Commerce and Humanities streams.

NEP 2020

With NEP 2020 coming in, the curriculum was moulded to fit the requirements that are foreseen in the near future: Skill-based learning, robotics, Coding and a comprehensive approach towards entrepreneurship find a place in our curriculum.

 

The teaching pedagogy very well reflects the futuristic trends and dynamic versatility to give a learner-centric approach so that we can foster student-led classrooms.

Curriculum and Textbooks

The curriculum of a school is a substantial reflection of its vision. A carefully chosen curriculum helps to develop desired futuristic skills in children like effective communication, creativity, critical thinking and collaboration which are key to their empowerment c. Experiential learning activities embedded in the textbooks encourage our students to shed their inhibitions and express their thoughts both in verbal and written forms.

Selection process of textbooks at MAMS is very structured and comprehensive. Our primary consideration while choosing textbooks is to ensure that it is mapped to the guidelines prescribed by NEP 2020 which has initiated a paradigm shift in the teaching-learning process.  In the selection process we not only consider the effectiveness of content of the textbook as a standalone resource but also the important aspects like accuracy, clarity and development of concepts, organisation of content, presence of multiple perspectives, balance of depth and breadth of information provided, the quality and diversity of exercices, mapping of learning outcomes, and so on.
