Welcome Back to School!

Dear Students and Parents,
Greetings!

I trust you had a wonderful time with your families and friends during the summer break. As we prepare to reopen after this break, I welcome all students back to school and eagerly await the return of our dear students.
2023-24 was truly splendid, and I am confident that the 2024-25 session will be equally remarkable. Our academic triumphs have set the tone for yet another vibrant year of learning and discovery.
Firstly, I would like to congratulate our star students for making us proud once again by performing very well in the CBSE and Cambridge board exams. Their good results are an inspiration to the upcoming batches. Congratulations to the parents and teachers whose support and guidance contributed to the success of these students. Our results are featured in 150+ digital and two print media publications.
Our students have excelled in the CBSE board exams with top scores of 97.6% in Grade 10 and 96.8% in Grade 12. Additionally, 45% of our Grade 10 and 25% of our Grade 12 students achieved scores above 90%. Similarly, our students performed exceptionally well in the Cambridge board exams. In IGCSE, 64% of all grades scored are A or A*, with 10 students achieving A or A* in all papers. In the AS Level, also 64% of all grades scored are A or B (top two grades), with 7 students achieving the highest grade of A. In the A Level, 31% of all grades scored are A or A*.
Everyone is a learner at ISP Schools, and to reinforce this vision, we have organized a weeklong INSET (In-Service Education & Training) for our staff during the first week of June. This program introduces new teachers to our teaching pedagogies and further strengthens existing ones. Recently, I had the privilege to participate in a two-day exposure visit to Hyderabad Central University organized by CBSE. It was aimed at providing insights into the National Education Policy 2020 and familiarizing principals with the university's undergraduate courses. We are committed to providing a wholesome learning environment and amazing learning experiences to our students by using effective teaching methodologies and prioritizing students' well-being.
Being on time is key to success, so strive to be punctual for school. Take pride in wearing your school uniform and ensure your ID cards are always visible. Your safety is our utmost concern; remember to wear seat belts when traveling by school bus or your personal car, and wear a helmet if you come to school by two-wheeler or bicycle.
As we look ahead, many exciting events and activities await us in the coming months, including Student Council elections, where we will ensure representation for all standards, Independence Day celebrations, Sports Day, ISP international learning opportunities, and many more. With Manthan now a certified SAT exam center, our students have the opportunity to take this prestigious exam conveniently on campus. We actively strive to empower our students to achieve their highest potential. At Manthan, we firmly believe in nurturing the all-round development of our students, enhancing not only their academic prowess but also shaping their personalities.
Together, let's make this school year extraordinary!
Welcome back, dear students! See you soon on campus...
