MARIA'S PUBLIC SCHOOL
UNDER MARIA'S PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL TRUST
A Senior Secondary School affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education
Maria’s Public School endeavours to build a warm and caring environment where students are encouraged to work to their potential with a challenging and interesting curriculum and a student’s success is acknowledged and celebrated.
Maria’s Public School is a school of repute where trust, values and respect is a way of life. The school wishes to discover every child’s innate abilities and realize this through a child centric education system. It is time we moved away from the traditional ‘lecture’ method with the child being a passive listener and contribute to making Global Citizens with the teacher being a mere facilitator who grooms and nurtures each child’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs and development.
The mantra of Maria’s Public School ever since its inception in 1988 has been “Learning Beyond the Classroom” which seeks to give an all-round education built on a foundation of Service, Adventure, Sports, Creative Arts and Academics.
There has been many firsts for Maria’s Public School. In 2007, the school became the first in the entire country to send a team of five students accompanied by a Faculty Member to the United Nations International School in New York to participate in Climate Change deliberations in the United Nations General Assembly Hall. The keynote speaker was Ban Ki-moon,the then Secretary-General and Marians won overwhelmingly in the Debate that followed. In 2015 the school hosted the very first Inter-School Model United Nations in the region which inspired students from other institutions to do the same and today we have an active MUN circuit in the city. In 2016, the school partnered with the Green Schools Alliance, with headquarters in West Virginia, U.S. to help connect Marians with students from around the globe to find sustainable solutions to greenhouse emissions.
The journey continues and we take advantage of the opportunities that our memberships of organisations like the Round Square, IAYP (International Award for Young People), British Council and AFS Inter-Cultural Exchange offer for international exposure and travel through exchanges and study trips.
To give our students the cutting edge in this dynamic 21st century world which is interconnected, we build their capacity to collaborate, urge them to take intellectual risks and turn their ideas and passions into something original and valuable. We want them to leave the precincts of the school as well rounded global citizens, ready to engage with and contribute to any team they find themselves a member of. Therefore, students are given the opportunity to make informed decisions about subjects and careers that compliments strengths, orientations and interests.
