Achievement

Maria’s Public School (MPS) has initiated a novel venture of introducing, helping, monitoring and thus leading some special children (children with mild to moderate mental retardation, cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, hyperactive attention, deficit disorders and hearing impaired) into mainstream education with help from specialised teachers.

Special needs of each child are looked into with tailor made designs in activity based learning with support from the peer group; constant guidance and enthusiasm have helped these children mingle with the mainstream.

After class VIII, children are encouraged to join the National Open School (NOS) which is under the Department of Education (Ministry of HRD). The NOS offers an enjoyable system of studying for these students with specially designed curriculum at par with the CBSE and other recognised boards. There is a large choice of subjects and no subject is compulsory.
