Middle - Wing “Education is a passport to the future, because the future belongs to those who prepare for it today.”
K.R. Mangalam provides an education that is attuned with exceptional care to individual student needs as per the school’s motto EDUCATE. LEARN. INNOVATE. The middle wing of KRMVP caters to classes VI-VIII having the age group 11-14 years. The Middle School plays an indispensable role in a child’s academic, emotional, social and personal growth. Hence, the curriculum is designed in such a way that it meets our students’ academic needs and encourages them to explore their passions at school and in their daily lives.
The school follows a 5-day week schedule with school timings from 7:50 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.
Our goal is to create powerful learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom through a vast array of co-curricular activities. Our comprehensive approach combines an integrated curriculum and creative teaching techniques with rich, extracurricular activities.
Homework, in the middle wing, is specially designed to cater to the unique learning needs of the students with the goal of developing self-management, independence, and a passion for learning. Considering the recommendations of the NEP (New Education Policy 2020), activity-based learning in all subjects is emphasized at KRMVP.
Middle grade students learn best within an inclusive environment in which they feel safe and supported as they explore, discover, and develop their sense of self and understanding of others. At the same time, the focus is to hone the overall personality of our kids and therefore, immense attention is paid to the spoken English. Myriad opportunities are provided to the students to amplify their spoken English and share their ideas. Along with subject lessons, the school encourages sports and physical education to maintain a healthy balance between education and exercise.
